CALGARY, Alberta, June 17 (Reuters) - WestJet Airlines Ltd's pilots have ratified a four-year labor deal, Canada's second-largest carrier said on Wednesday without divulging details of the agreement.
WestJet's pilots association said in a statement that the agreement will provide the company and its pilots with stability to weather the airline industry's downturn.
The deal, which takes effect July 1, was ratified by 89 percent of those who voted, the company said.
