Pilots at Flair Airlines, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), have formally notified Flair management of their intent to begin contract negotiations.
“Our over 250 pilots are more united than ever before and are ready to negotiate the collective agreement that we deserve,” said Flair Master Executive Council chair First Officer Aimee Wintle.
“Based on clear direction from the pilot group, our negotiators are steadfast in their commitment to solving the significant problems plaguing our pilots: wages, career progression, and quality of life.”
The current agreement covering Flair’s pilots will expire on December 31, 2025.
“We come to these negotiations with determination and expect the Company to do the same,” Wintle added.
“Flair pilots have already made sacrifices in the past to ensure this airline’s viability. Now it’s time for the Company to return the favour. We are committed to bargaining in good faith, but the outcome must reflect our value — A Fair contract for Flair pilots.”
Flair operates scheduled domestic and cross-border passenger service to 27 destinations across Canada and North America.
ALPA represents more than 80,000 pilots at 43 U.S. and Canadian airlines, including more than 5,000 Air Canada pilots.
