The agreement grants the carrier's roughly 5,400 pilots a cumulative wage hike of nearly 42 per cent over four years. The head of the union's Air Canada contingent argued the contract demonstrates the company's commitment to its pilots. Under both the new and previous agreements, pilots earn far less in their first four years at the company before enjoying a big wage hike starting in year five.
