From the article......

"The salary range for Canadian pilots is roughly $40,000 for a new hire to more than $200,000 for an experienced captain.

Make no mistake, I’m not inclined to be overly sympathetic to unions. But this airline’s antics — ranking dead last among North America’s 10 major airlines in on-time performance in 2023, and the axing of western Canadian routes — predispose me, a million-mile flyer with the carrier, to listen to what the pilots have to say."


A very experienced captain will clock in closer to $400k/yr.
Interesting reasons to be sympathetic to the employees side of the story.
