The Industry Needs to Acknowledge Significantly Higher Value of Pilots: Flair CEO

Flair Airlines CEO Stephen Jones told BNN Bloomberg in a television interview that “the value of pilots has gone up over the last period and it’s something the industry needs to deal with” in order to avoid the chaos and disorganization reported at Canadian airports last summer. His comments come as WestJet pilots came to the verge of a strike last week and Air Canada pilots join the world’s largest pilots’ union for greater negotiating power.

Jones said his own company has made efforts to improve time performance and help things run more smoothly ahead of what he anticipates will be a “huge” summer for air travel based on bookings so far.
