As WestJet ramped its operations back up after reaching an 11th-hour agreement with its pilots union, the chief executive of rival Flair Airlines said Friday that the industry must respond to the demand for their increasingly sparse labour.

Union representative Bernard Lewall said the offer from the company would help retain and attract pilots at WestJet, after noting earlier in the dispute that work conditions had seen pilots departing the Calgary-based airline in big numbers.In the lead-up to the Friday WestJet strike deadline, Flair added flights starting at $99 between some Canadian cities in a move aimed at helping affected WestJet customers salvage their travel plans.

“We’re going to find out who compromised more than others pretty shortly,” he said in a television interview on Friday.
