Air Canada Offers Pilots a 30% Pay Boost as Strike Deadline Nears

 

• Pilots in a position to walk out in mid-September if no deal
• Strike would cause major disruptions in the airline industry

Air Canada has offered to boost the pay of more than 5,000 pilots by about 30% within the next three years, according to people familiar with the matter, as it seeks to prevent a strike.

Pilots at Canada’s largest airline would received a minimum 20% increase up front, followed by annual raises over a three-year period, said the people, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. Pilots with one to four years of service would receive more, the people said.
