Trinidad & Tobago finance minister approves 4% pay raise for Caribbean Airlines pilots

Trinidad & Tobago Finance Minister Colm Imbert yesterday gave Caribbean Airlines the go-ahead to accept the T&T Airline Pilots' Association's (TTALPA) request for a four per cent salary increase.

According to the Trinidad Guardian, the four per cent increase will cover two collective bargaining periods—September 2015-August 2020 and September 2020-August 2023.

The announcement was made in a release last evening, hours after Imbert had issued a previous media release detailing the situation with the negotiations between CAL and TTALPA and promising he would provide support to CAL so the dispute could be settled.

That earlier release also came after TTALPA staged yet another silent protest outside Imbert's Port-of-Spain offices.
