A message from your KEW Master Executive Council
March 24, 2025

Fellow pilots,

It has come to our attention that pilots on Thompson charters are having to travel 2 days at the start of their rotation.

Unfortunately, this change is out of the Company’s control as it reflects Calm Air changing their departure time out of YWG.

We have discussed multiple options with the Company regarding the travel day issue, regrettably, there is nothing that can be done at this time. The decision to require 2 travel days for the Thompson charters was not taken lightly, and the Company shares our frustrations for the inconvenience this causes our pilots.

If Calm Air was to return the YWG departure time to what it previously was, then the Company has agreed to return the travel day for the Thompson charters to one day.

We appreciate your patience and understanding with this development, and we will continue to work with the Company to try and reach a more convenient solution if the situation changes,

In unity,
Your MEC
