Professor of Labour Studies at Brock University, Larry Savage, shared his reflections on the ratification vote results to the social media platform X (Formerly Twitter). Savage said flight attendants had heightened expectations for this deal. While the tentative agreement did include wage increases, they were not at the same level as the wage increases won for flight attendants at Air Transat or pilots at Air Canada.

“The union oversold the tentative agreement by declaring the end of unpaid work,” Savage wrote in a post on X. “That framing seems to have rubbed some members the wrong way.”
