Frequently asked question

Before submitting an objection, class members are encouraged to carefully review the full settlement details.

Am I included in the class action settlement?

You may be included if you worked as a flight attendant during the class period from April 4, 2014 to February 28, 2021. If you were employed during this time, you may qualify as a class member and may be eligible for compensation.

How do I object to the proposed settlement?

Your letter does not need to be complicated. It should clearly explain why you object to the settlement.

Include the following information:

- Your full name.

- Your contact information (email, phone number, or mailing address).

- A statement confirming you are a class member.

- A clear explanation of why you believe the settlement is not fair, reasonable, or adequate.
- State if you will attend in person, on line or not at all.

- Make sure your objection letter is signed and dated.
- Send your letter to [email protected]

- It is a good idea to keep a copy of your objection letter and the email confirmation for your records.

Important

Submitting an objection does not remove you from the class action. It simply allows the Court to review your concerns when deciding whether the proposed settlement should be approved.

Will my objection be shared with WestJet?

In a class action settlement process, an objection letter is not a private complaint. It becomes part of the court record used by the judge to decide whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the class.

Because of that process:

- Your objection is sent to Class Counsel (JFK Law).

- Class Counsel provides objections to the Court.

- The objections are also shared with the defendant’s legal team (WestJet’s lawyers).

- Some objections may also become public court documents.

So the key point is:

Your objection is primarily for the Court, but both sides of the case will usually see it.

That is standard practice in class actions and does not mean you are doing anything wrong, it simply ensures the judge can consider all viewpoints before deciding whether to approve the settlement.

What if I don’t feel safe submitting an objection?

Many class members may feel hesitant or afraid to speak publicly about their concerns. For some people, the fear of retaliation is real, especially when careers, or future opportunities in the industry feel connected to the outcome.

Formal objections submitted to the Court may be shared with both legal teams as part of the class action process. Because of this, some class members may not feel safe submitting a public objection.

If you have concerns about the proposed settlement but do not feel comfortable filing an objection, you can still write directly to Class Counsel at JFK Law and make your concerns known. Class Counsel has a responsibility to hear from class members and understand the concerns being raised.

Every class member has the right to decide how and whether they want to participate in this process. Your safety and well-being matter.
