Pilots’ union reaches tentative contract deal with Air Canada

A GLOBAL union for pilots has reached an agreement with a Canadian airline that could prevent a shutdown of the country’s largest airline.
Talks between Air Line Pilots Association (Alpa) and Air Canada produced a “tentative, four-year agreement,” the airline announced in a statement on Sunday.
It is understood that the deal “recognises the contributions of the pilots flying for Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, while setting a new framework for company growth.”
