Canadian Flight Attendants Can Compare Salary Against Pilots Wages
In what has to be one of the most ridiculous court rulings I have ever heard of, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled that Flight Attendants can compare their pay against the pilots. Let me guess this correctly, a flight attendant needs 6 weeks of training to be initially certified while a pilot needs years of training and experience to land a job with the major airlines. And the Canadian Supreme Court sees a correlation between the two.
If rulings like this continue, Canada is going to see a brain drain with only the parasites remaining as logical folks are going to be running from the country.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled Tuesday that Air Canada’s flight attendants can compare their pay with that of pilots and ground crews to determine if they are being discriminated against because of gender.
The top court said it is fair to make the comparison, because the flight attendants, pilots and ground crews all work for the same organization in the same business.
Air Canada had argued that each of the groups is covered under a different collective agreement, so a comparison would not be valid. The top court rejected that view. via The Globe and Mail
