Air Canada flight op crew schedulers ratify agreement

Air Canada welcomes the results of a vote by its Flight Operations Crew Schedulers and its In-Flight Crew Schedulers represented by Unifor, approving a new collective agreement between the airline and the union.

The four-year collective agreements are in effect until May 22, 2029.

Unifor represents approximately 100 Flight Operations Crew Schedulers and 90 In-Flight Crew Schedulers based in Canada.

“On behalf of Air Canada, I would like to thank the members of the Unifor and Air Canada bargaining teams for their hard work and diligence in successfully negotiating these agreements. Kudos to both sides,” said Mike Abbott, VP, labour relations, in a press release. 

Flight Operations Crew Schedulers and In-Flight Crew Schedulers are responsible for the logistics of scheduling flight crews and cabin crews respectively to ensure appropriate staffing of all Air Canada mainline and Air Canada Rouge flights, managing crew rosters and arranging accommodations and transportation.
