Canadian Carrier Wasaya Airways Reaches Tentative Agreement

American Pilot Aren't the Only Ones in on Negotiations These Days

Smaller, twin-turboprop Canadian operator Wasaya Airways pilots have established a tentative agreement with the company that will grant a 5-year contract and a host of improvements.

Wasaya Airways, a subsidiary of the Exchange Income Corporation, will grant the pilots "increased compensation, stronger job-security protections, and enhanced working conditions" according to the ALPA. The line operates a fleet of commuter aircraft including the Beech 1900D, Cessna Caravan, Hawker 748, Pilatus PC-12, and Dash 8 throughout the Ontario region.

“Since our last contract four years ago, Wasaya pilots have demonstrated their unity and commitment to attaining a collective agreement that reflects the contributions we bring to the success of our airline and the communities we serve,” said Capt. James Harding, chair of ALPA’s Wasaya pilot group.

“Wasaya pilots have been determined to bring our wages in line with our industry peers and enhance our work rules significantly. This tentative agreement does just that and is a fair and equitable contract that works for pilots and assists our company with pilot retention,” added Harding.

Over the past several years, the number of ALPA-represented pilot groups from EIC-owned airline properties has more than doubled from three to seven, with the pilots making up nearly 10 percent of ALPA’s Canadian membership.
