What defines “really really well”? Are you an AME? Do you work in the industry?
I don’t, and after having looked at what appears to be their existing wage schedule, I wouldn’t do that job for that money. The stress, responsibility, and working conditions are worse than my job, for less money.

AME strike was avoidable

This is incorrect information that the CEO was spreading to try to get the public on their side.
The $170,000 he spoke of is unattainable with the current pay scale. For someone to make that at the top wage, they would still have to work 800 hours of OT. One AME may have hit that number by working said OT, but that is not a normal wage there. Generally speaking, most AMEs are in the $40-45/hr range. These guys/girls work graveyard shift though the night, in all weather conditions, have an incredibly technical and precise job with an immense amount of liability and responsibility. Your life is in their hands as well as the flight crew.
Westjet has taken away their matching program and has tried to move a portion of that program over to the wages. The increase is minor in the end of you consider that they just moved matching over to wages (and continued to cut the matching at the same time).
Don't let the CEO fool you, they are not making this money. Westjet has had over a year to figure this out. Instead they go into negotiations and talk down on the AMEs as if they were scum (while they are in the room). This should have been avoided.
