WestJet Strike Is Over — Here's What Happens to Your Bookings Now

  Published August 4, 2026 If you spent the long weekend refreshing WestJet's flight status page, you can exhale a little. Early Monday morning, WestJet and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 8125 reached a tentative agreement, ending the strike that grounded most of the airline's mainline fleet starting August 2. Both the strike notice and WestJet's lockout notice have been withdrawn. That's genuinely good news if you have an upcoming WestJet booking. But "the strike is over" doesn't mean "everything is back to normal today." Here's what actually changes for your money and your travel plans.

Your daily horoscope: November 30, 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Changes will come thick and fast over the next 12 months but at no time will you feel it is getting too much for you. Dig deep into your reserves of courage and confidence and remind the world how tough you can be.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Try to take a more laid-back approach to your problems. They may seem significant today but will you care about them a year, five years or 10 years into the future? Probably not, so why care about them so much now?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

It will pay you to be on your guard this weekend because the planets warn that someone you have dealings with may try to cheat you out of what you are owed. Keep essential facts and figures in front of you at all times.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You may as well give up the struggle and do what partners and loved ones want you to do. This is one of those occasions when a limited loss of personal freedom is a small price to pay for harmony at home.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Not everyone will approve of your methods over the next 48 hours but that won’t bother you in the slightest. All that matters is that the choices you make bring the results you are looking for, so keep doing it your way.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The new moon in the most dynamic and creative area of your chart will boost both your confidence and your energy levels this weekend. An artistic project begun now will yield truly amazing results in the not too distant future.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Strive to be positive about what you have to do this weekend, even though you can think of a dozen reasons why you would prefer to be doing something else. Important people are unlikely to be amused if you let them down.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Forget about finishing minor tasks that no longer matter and focus on getting out into the world and having fun with your friends. You are a sociable creature by nature and are at your best when surrounded by like-minded people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Money problems of one sort or another have got you down of late but this weekend’s new moon will point the way ahead and make it easy for you to pay off your debts. Next time, don’t splash the cash on things you don’t need!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

A new start is both possible and desirable and what you begin over the next 48 hours has the potential not only to change your life for the better but to transform it in fundamental ways. Aim high and then go higher still.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Whatever doubts you have about a personal matter you must keep them hidden from the world at large. While mind planet Mercury is moving retrograde there is a real danger you could give away information that needs to remain a secret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You are focusing too much on an issue that started out small but has rapidly grown into a bit of a challenge. You are under no obligation to resolve the matter yourself, so stand back and let others make the tough decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

What you should be aiming to do now is to improve your standing in the world, especially on the work front where your talents may be going to waste. A change of direction in your career is definitely worth thinking about.
