HI Teel
Welcome to PPRune. Great first post. Against my better judgement I'll take the bait and ask what you mean with your post. Which group should unionize? WestJet is not perfect, which company is? Presently I don't think any group would be better served by a union but what do I know. Like I said normally I ignore posts like yours but it's a slow day for me.
