As the outcome of talks happening this week to try to avert an Air Canada strike remain uncertain, the union representing pilots says negotiations had stalled as of last week.
and the union representing its pilots, the Air Line Pilots Association , are meeting this week in efforts to avoid a strike after the union said talks had “completely stalled” last week.
“Due to the confidential nature of negotiations, we cannot comment specific proposals that are being passed between the parties at the negotiating table,” First Officer Charlene Hudy, chair of the Air Canada ALPA master executive council, told Global News in a statement Thursday when asked if the airline had many any offers to the union.Hudy added, “What we can say is that as of last week, talks had completely stalled.
However, the airline had a statement on its website that read, “Air Canada is in negotiations with the Air Line Pilots Association . Currently, our operations are not affected, and our flights are operating as scheduled.” The airline said progress has been made in its negotiations and it hopes to reach a deal, but it still faces the possibility of a strike by its 5,400 pilots as early as Sept. 17 when the union will be in a strike position.Air Canada strike looms—What it means for your travel plans
