Decision comes two weeks after the pilots’ group invoked a clause to end its 10-year collective agreement a year early
pilots have kickstarted the bargaining process with their employer in a move that comes days after their fellow union members at WestJet ratified a new collective agreement.
Key issues include a widening wage gap between Canadian pilots and their U.S. counterparts as well as job security and career progression, said Charlene Hudy, who heads the contingent. “Such negotiations usually take months, and this is just the beginning,” said Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick in an email.
The pending Air Canada talks also arrive as airlines face intense domestic and cross-border competition from ultra-low-cost carriers such as Flair Airlines and Lynx Air.
