Mass layoffs at Canjet
Reports said the small charter carrier has cut 47 pilots and 68 flight attendants – about two-thirds of its flight staff – and eliminated its planned European operations for this summer.
While the company is continuing to operate its charter and packaged vacation business, the Air Line Pilots Association said “it is clear today that plans to essentially shutter the airline were made some time ago.” ALPA said nearly all CanJet pilots have been let go, even though the association had worked for months with the airline to “mitigate involuntary layoffs.”

With Air Transat now having a B737 fleet and the continual growth of Sunwing there is too much capacity for sun flight in Canada at this point. At least if you are a qualified B737 pilot or mechanic you can find a job fairly quickly either in Canada or abroad.
