Jumpseat Committee Update

A MESSAGE FROM THE SUNWING AIRLINES MASTER EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

May 30, 2025

Sunwing Pilot Jumpseat Availability – June and July

Fellow Flight Crew Members,

Now that Sunwing has winded down operations, Sunwing will no longer be reciprocating jumpseats with our partners, effectively terminating the agreements. With pilots still yet to transition to WestJet, this will leave those members in limbo for jumpseat travel.

The Jumpseat Committee has reached out to our reciprocal airlines to request a temporary extension of jumpseat benefits to help those still waiting for their WestJet start dates. To date, these carriers have advised that the remaining Sunwing pilots will be granted jumpseat access.

  • Air Canada
  • Air Canada Jazz
  • WestJet
  • Flair
  • PAL
  • Wasaya
  • Porter
  • Air Transat
  • Calm Air
  • Canadian North

The procedures and policies will remain unchanged, with the exception that it is likely jumpseating will be limited to cabin only with this temporary exemption.

In solidarity,

 

SWG Jumpseat Committee

Air Line Pilots Association, International
360 Albert Street, Suite 1510 Ottawa, ON K1R 7X7
