Copa Airline’s pilots plan to go on strike against the Panama airline on February 2.
Panamanian Commercial Aviators Union (UNPAC) said on Friday that its 1,200 pilots will walk off the job at 7:30 a.m. local time, after failing to reach a “fair and sustainable agreement” in contracts talks that have been going on since October.
According to a report in Reuters, the pilots are asking for higher wages, contributions to their health insurance plan and a better retirement plan, break and overnight accommodations, onboard food, and working conditions for pregnant pilots.
