Flair Pilots Secure New Three-Year Contract Following Successful Ratification Vote

EDMONTON, Alta.—Today, Flair Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), voted overwhelmingly to ratify their tentative agreement reached with Flair Airlines management. The new agreement was ratified by 89 percent of eligible pilots who voted. The three-year agreement offers meaningful improvements to compensation, retirement, scheduling, career progression, and overall quality of life.

“This agreement reflects the strength and solidarity our pilots demonstrated over more than ten months of negotiations,” said First Officer Aimee Wintle, chair of the Flair Master Executive Council. “Our pilots stood together with a clear goal: to secure an agreement that recognizes their professionalism, improves their quality of life, and positions Flair pilots for long-term success. Today’s result is a testament to the power of a unified pilot group.”

The new three-year agreement, which takes effect immediately, provides significant improvements across several key areas, including compensation, retirement, scheduling, and quality of life. It also strengthens career progression opportunities and better aligns Flair pilots with industry standards.

“This agreement delivers meaningful improvements for Flair pilots and recognizes the professionalism and commitment they bring to the operation every day,” added Wintle. “I want to thank our Negotiating Committee, Master Executive Council, and all our pilots for standing together throughout this process. The strength and solidarity shown by our membership over the past ten months were instrumental in achieving this result.”

Flair’s 270 pilots operate scheduled passenger service throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.

Founded in 1931, ALPA is the largest airline pilot union in the world and represents more than 80,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines. Visit ALPA.org or follow us on X @ALPAPilots.
