Air Canada pilots have showcased their dissatisfaction with the recent labour deal that was ratified. Despite the agreement receiving 67 percent votes in favor, many expressed concerns about entry-level wages and felt that the deal was inadequate, suggesting that pressures from the union leadership to accept a compromise may have overshadowed the interests of younger members. Additionally, reports of internal dissent within the union highlight the divide among members regarding the direction the union has taken, showcasing a need for future discussions around equitable pay.
The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) announced that Air Canada pilots voted to ratify a new four-year labour deal, alleviating fears of a potential work stoppage. However, the agreement has faced significant backlash, particularly regarding the compensation for entry-level pilots, with many feeling it does not adequately address the earnings gap with U.S. counterparts. This situation has led to internal conflict within the union, epitomized by one committee member resigning in protest and the union president's controversial ultimatum amid growing dissatisfaction among pilots.
