Still friends with a few people that stayed and I can tell you it was the two out of three people in the entire base that know what they are doing who contracted the virus. Guess you could add in the station manager from YQY who was there to provide training but she was tested a few days before and didn't end up having close contact with anyone else. Can count on a finger the rest that were close contact isolations. When you pay so low an hour and have no leadership on what to do I'd agree showing up isn't worth it. Unfortunately contractors won't make this any easier for Westjet.

But I will agree, if you're showing some symptoms regardless it's best not to go in.
