It has come to our attention that an article circulating on Facebook from Aero Fudion (see below) claims that Air Canada has reached a tentative five-year Collective Agreement with flight attendants, including significant wage increases and contract improvements.

Air Canada has reached a tentative agreement with flight attendants on a new five-year contract worth $3.2 billion that includes immediate 15% wage increases and total raises of 25% by 2030. The deal ends months of contentious negotiations that brought the airline to the brink of a system-wide strike during peak summer travel season. The 18,000-member union secured significant improvements in rest provisions, duty time limits, and per-diem allowances in addition to substantial pay increases.
Senior international flight attendants will earn over $85,000 annually by the contract’s end, among the highest compensation in North American aviation. Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau stated the agreement recognizes flight attendants’ critical role in delivering premium service while ensuring the airline remains competitive. The ratification vote is scheduled for February, with union leaders confident of overwhelming member approval.

This information is false.
The Union confirms that it is not currently in any contract discussions with Air Canada and that the interest arbitration process remains ongoing and unchanged.
Any claims regarding wage increases, contract terms, timelines, or statements attributed to Air Canada or Union leadership are entirely inaccurate and unauthorized.
Members are reminded to rely only on official Union communications for accurate and verified information regarding collective bargaining and arbitration. Misinformation and speculation on social media can create unnecessary confusion and concern.
