WestJet pilots are poised to get a 24 percent pay bump over four years under an agreement-in-principle between the company and the union.

A copy of the tentative agreement summary obtained by The Canadian Press states that pilots will receive a 15.5 percent hourly pay raise this year retroactive to Jan. 1 upon ratification of the deal.
