Pilots' union challenges WestJet's hiring of foreign pilots, citing safety and wage concerns.

The Air Line Pilots Association has petitioned the Federal Court to invalidate the government's approval of temporary work permits for WestJet to hire about 60 foreign pilots. The union claims the decision was made without consultation and could affect safety and wages. WestJet argues it sought government assessment before hiring. The union also criticizes WestJet's decision to close a base in Quebec City.
