Arbitrator enforces Air Canada’s pilot contract offer

An arbitrator appointed by the Canadian government has enforced Air Canada's final offer over one proposed by the Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA), the union representing its 3,000 pilots. Air Canada Chief Executive Calin Rovinescu said in a statement: "At the same time, it provides the company with the necessary flexibility to compete effectively in the current industry environment."
"Air Canada pilots are angry at the way they have been treated by the government and their employer," ACPA said in a statement.
"The safety and professionalism that passengers expect from Air Canada pilots have been put at risk by a corporate culture that refuses to recognize or value our contributions," it said.
