  It appears that the WestJet Professional Flight Attendants Association (WPFAA) is a union, signing up members as a potential bargaining agent.
  
  There is already a not-really-a-union organization in the picture. It's the group they aim to supplant: the Flight Attendant Association Board (FAAB), which is a subgroup of the larger not-a-union organization The Proactive Communication Team (PACT).
  
  There was a similar PACT group in the background when the WestJet pilots unionized recently.
  
  Sure it's not a CUPE, but there's no reason to think the  WPFAA isn't a real union.  I could be wrong but that's what a brief investigation shows.
