West Jet pilot strike

[3CanadianBears]

Anyone else concerned about this potential strike?  We have flights booked with WestJet late May to Vancouver for a cruise to Alaska.  Wondering if I should look at a fully refundable fare with Air Canada as backup?  Anyone have experience with a "fully refundable" AC fare?   Thanks.

Never had an issue getting a refund for a refundable fare on AC.  Be aware that said fares tend to be expensive.

 

My issue is that I dropped off my new passport application this past Monday, two days before the PSAC strike.  Not traveling until end of September so I think I'll be okay.

Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with your passport.  As you said, you should be fine for end of September, I can't imagine the strike going on for long.
