Air Canada News:
Air Canada cancels Boeing order following pilot rejection of tentative agreement. On Saturday, Air Canada announced it was cancelling the Boeing wide-body order of 777s and 787s following our pilots’ rejection of the tentative agreement on contractual terms concerning the introduction of the new aircraft. ACPA leadership had recommended ratification of the tentative agreement which had been negotiated with the assistance of Mediator Mr. M.G. Mitchnik. The order is subject to cancellation without penalty. "We are naturally disappointed at having to cancel the wide-body aircraft order but these aircraft can only be brought into our fleet on a pre-determined economic basis. Despite best efforts on the part of ACPA, the agreement has been rejected,” said Montie Brewer. “Following a successful restructuring, Air Canada has been transformed into a viable carrier. We cannot lose sight of the effort it took to get to where the airline is today and while the cancellation of this aircraft order will be disappointing to our employee group at large, including many of our pilots, it is the right decision given the circumstances. The cancellation of the order is not material to our business plan over the next few years.”
Montie has recorded a special employee message. To hear his comments about the Boeing order cancellation, call the infoLine or read it online on Aeronet or
