They’d rather lose millions by cancelling their flights than pay their employees a liveable wage.

💰 You will no doubt hear on the news today that has Air Canada offered us a 38% pay raise.
🛑 That is NOT the case.
Here are the facts:
38% was the TOTAL compensation over 4 years, including taxable benefits.
💵 They have used a price tag to monetize certain aspects of our contract. It is NOT a 38% pay increase like they want you to think.

It’s important to pay attention to the words being used.

✈️ Air Canada has offered an 8% increase in the first year as a one-time catch-up.
Meanwhile, flight attendants have taken more than a 9% cut to their real wages due to inflation over the course of their last contract since 2015. This offer does not even come close to keeping up with inflation - it is, in effect, a pay cut.

✈️ Air Canada’s offer is well below inflation, and still below other major airlines in Canada.

✈️ Air Canada is using misleading “kitchen-sink” figures to make the public believe that flight attendants who rely on food banks and second and third jobs are the ones being greedy.

✈️ In reality, the company has offered a 17.2% wage increase over four years. Even in year four of Air Canada’s offer, in 2028, Air Canada flight attendants would earn less than what our competitor airlines in Canada already earn today. Air Canada’s offer is WELL below market value.

😢 Even with the “best offer” that Air Canada made, an entry-level Air Canada flight attendant working full-time will still earn less than federal minimum wage. Junior Air Canada flight attendants working full-time (75 flying/credit hours per month) currently earn $1,952 per month pre-taxes. With Air Canada’s first-year catch-up increase of 8%, their earnings would increase to $2,108.16 per month.

💰 Meanwhile, an employee working full time earning federal minimum wage at $17.75 per hour would earn $2,840.00 per month pre-taxes.

🛑 Air Canada’s offer is STILL below minimum wage.
