THANK YOU,
YVR PILOTS

Nomination balloting has concluded.

Fellow YVR Pilots,

With nomination balloting now complete, thank you to everyone who participated and took the time to vote. Congratulations as well to Brett Miller and Timothy Wynn-Williams on being selected as the nominees for YVR First Officer Representative. I wish them both the best as the election moves forward.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with a lot of Pilots. Some reached out with questions, others shared concerns or offered advice, and sometimes it was simply a good conversation about where we are as a Pilot group and where we’re headed. I appreciated all of it.

While this wasn’t the result I had hoped for, I’m grateful I put my name forward. I did so because I believe strongly in our Pilot group and in the importance of good representation, and none of that changes with this nomination result. I’ll continue to support our Pilots and our Union wherever I can.

I also want to thank Duncan Scott, Brett Miller and Timothy Wynn-Williams for putting their names forward. It takes a willingness to put yourself and your ideas out there to run for a representative position, and I appreciate each of them for doing so.

Now our attention turns to what comes next. CA3 will be incredibly important for all of us, and I hope we can move through bargaining united as a Pilot group and supportive of those representing us at the table. We may come from different backgrounds and we certainly won’t always agree, but we’re all WestJet Pilots. I believe we’ll be strongest through CA3 if we move forward together.

Thanks again, everyone.
