If that’s the case wouldn’t the appropriate response be for AC management to also bring up the rates that AI pays their pilots for YYZ-DEL or AM for YYZ-MEX? I struggle to understand the case for pilots to be the highest paid in the world vs something that reflects the local Canadian labour market.
