The remuneration of on -board agents at all times and not only when the plane is underway is one of the main points of dispute of the conflict. 88% of respondents believe that agents should be paid for all the tasks carried out in connection with their work. General rule, the requests of the strikers are seen with a good eye in the survey.
Regarding Air Canada’s capacity to pay, 66% of respondents believe that the airline is able to access the wage requests of its on -board agents, especially because of its recent profits. 14% believe on the contrary that the salary offer submitted by Air Canada is sufficient and just respects its ability to pay.
While some observers have requested an intervention from the federal government in the conflict, 59% of respondents judge that Ottawa should respect the right to strike on board agents, despite the disruptions caused. 24% think that the government should rather get involved in the strike.

Methodology
The survey was conducted with 1,500 Canadian adults from Thursday at 12 p.m. to Friday at 10 a.m. A random sample of panelists was invited to respond to the survey from a set of partner panels based on the Lucid exchange platform
The data has been weighted according to the census data to ensure that the sample corresponds to the population of Canada in terms of age, sex, level of education and region. Totals may not be equal to 100 due to rounding.
The margin of error for a comparable probabilistic random sample of the same size is +/- 3.3 %, 19 times out of 20.
This survey was funded by the SCFP.
