Air Canada pilots are seeking increased wages following Delta Air Lines’ recent pay increase for its pilots. The Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA) has requested a pay raise for its members, citing the fact that Delta’s pay increase is a sign of the industry’s overall trend towards higher wages.
Delta recently announced a new contract with its pilots, which includes a 16 percent pay increase over the next four years. This is the first pay raise for Delta pilots since 2011, and it comes as the airline industry is seeing an overall trend of rising wages. The ACPA has argued that Air Canada pilots should receive a similar pay increase in order to remain competitive in the industry.
The ACPA has also argued that Air Canada pilots are currently underpaid compared to their counterparts at other airlines. The union notes that Air Canada pilots are paid less than those at other major airlines, such as Delta, United, and American. The ACPA has argued that Air Canada pilots should be paid more in order to remain competitive in the industry and attract the best talent.
Air Canada has yet to respond to the ACPA’s request for a pay raise. However, the airline has stated that it is “committed to providing competitive compensation packages for its employees” and that it “will continue to review its compensation policies in light of the current market conditions.”
