While work continues on finalizing the wording on the TA, which we will share with the group as soon as possible, please see the Executive Summary attached.

Since joining ALPA last year, your Negotiating Committee and MEC have worked tirelessly to ensure we secure a contract that lays a strong foundation for future bargaining. I want to personally thank Captain Fraser Mackeen and Captain Matt Caissie for their personal sacrifices of time away from their families and responsibilities. I am proud of their dedication and perseverance to help in achieving this TA.

The next episode of the ALPA Canada Podcast is available for listen and includes some important information.

Your Negotiating Committee wanted to share an important update as we work to sign our first Tentative Agreement (TA) under ALPA.

As you are aware, we, your MEC, agreed with Management to a 60 Day LOU for Extra Days (over time) for all Keewatin pilots that began on June 13, 2024. As part of the LOU, the extra day pay had been increased to 1.5X the regular day rate for all Keewatin pilots.

This is a reminder of the important survey we have sent out for all of you to complete. We appreciate your feedback and assistance in completing this survey, as it will assist your MEC and Negotiating Committee as our negotiations continue.

Our Negotiating Committee has been working diligently and tirelessly towards achieving an industry-standard contract for our members.

In early June, you can expect to see a new survey link in your emails. This survey is specifically related to unassigned pairings.

Your MEC and Negotiating Committee met with the Company recently for our first round of negotiations.

The Wasaya MEC would like to extend an invitation to any KEW pilots who may be in Thunder Bay to attend a Pilot Unity Building (PUB) event on March 30, 2024.
