WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech and President Diederik Pen issued statements from the airline’s Calgary headquarters on Saturday morning, condemning a sudden and “absurd” strike by the union maintaining the company’s planes (AMFA) on Friday. This resulted in at least 235 flight cancellations, impacting roughly 33,000 WestJet customers.
