Air Canada has proposed a substantial pay raise for its pilots, potentially averting a strike. The agreement includes an immediate 20% increase followed by annual increments over the next three years. This move comes after over a year of negotiations and rising tensions due to stagnant salaries. While the deal includes pension and healthcare improvements, the pilots’ union asserts that their pay remains significantly lower than other major airlines. The potential strike highlights the increasing pressure on Air Canada to address its workforce concerns.
