"Pilots at Air Transat have voted to ratify a new five year employment contract with the airline after first reaching a tentative deal in December and narrowly avoiding a strike. The company and its pilots reached an eleventh-hour tentative agreement last month just hours before pilots were set to go on strike. The work stoppage would have come just before the busy holiday travel period."
"A news release from the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents Air Transat's pilots, said 98 per cent voted on the deal, with 91 per cent voting in favour of the agreement. The five-year deal is backdated to May 1, 2025, and will expire on April 30, 2030, the union said. Our pilots came together with professionalism and purpose to secure an agreement that reflects who we are and the essential role we play in our airline's success,"
