The Trinidad and Tobago Airline Pilots Association (TTALPA) has extended its deadline for Caribbean Airlines Ltd (CAL) to settle outstanding negotiations before the union takes the matter to the Industrial Court.

TTALPA industrial relations consultant Timothy Bailey told Newsday the matter was before the Ministry of Labour and the initial deadline was March 7. However, the union accepted the ministry's request and extended the deadline to March 31, informing CAL via letter that day.

"We hope that good sense would prevail and the negotiations would be settled."
