Скачать или смотреть How a Pilot Union is Changing the Airline Industry Forever

Air Transat passengers breathed a sigh of relief Tuesday evening after the company reached a tentative deal with its pilot union, narrowly avoiding a strike on the cusp of the busy holiday travel period.

Transat A.T. Inc., which owns the leisure airline, found common ground with the Air Line Pilots Association just eight hours before the union's strike deadline.

The travel company immediately sought to start ramping up sun flights after cancelling at least 18 trips scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in a precautionary move that affected thousands of travellers.

Neither the company nor the union representing around 750 Air Transat pilots released details of the tentative agreement, which the membership will vote on in the coming days.

Annick Guerard, Transat president and CEO, said the airline "greatly preferred" to avoid the threat of a work stoppage.

"We are aware that this period has created significant uncertainty, and we extend our sincerest apologies to our customers whose flights were disrupted in recent days," she said in a statement on Tuesday evening.

"Our priority now is to quickly restore our operations and deliver on our commitment to provide service that meets our standards."
