  • This marks the second collective agreement between CAL and TTALPA within the last 16 months.

Trinidad and Tobago's national carrier, Caribbean Airlines (CAL), has reached a new collective agreement with the Trinidad and Tobago Airline Pilots Association (TTALPA). This development, the second such agreement in just over a year, signifies a period of renewed industrial harmony between the airline and its pilots. The pact, effective from September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2023, provides a framework for pilot compensation and working conditions, crucial for maintaining operational stability and morale within the airline. For Trinidad and Tobago, a stable and efficient CAL is vital for regional connectivity and tourism. This agreement, therefore, is not just an industrial matter but also contributes to the broader economic well-being of the nation. The swift finalization of this second agreement suggests a maturing relationship and a shared commitment to the airline's future success.
