The Union for Pilots

We assist members with a broad and often complex variety of employment issues. We are with you every step of the way in your flying career, offering services such as contract review, representation at discipline, grievance, capability, and sickness absence meetings. We will also take cases to an employment tribunal where appropriate. We have a strong track record in achieving the best possible outcomes for members. We also continue to achieve favourable results in collective negotiations.

IPA Achievements

  • The IPA recently had a representative attend the UK Flight Safety Committee’s three day Flight Safety Officers Familiarisation Course held virtually.  The purpose of attendance on this course was to enhance the knowledge and information within the Association to better enable us to provide guidance to members.  Should any member require assistance in this area, please contact office@ipapilot.com

     

  •  I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say a huge thank you to you and Phil Flower, IPA union official for the advice and support during a recent disciplinary I found myself part of.  With the support of my union I have been able to return to work and continue in the job i love; I can’t thank you enough for all your efforts during this difficult time.

  • Thank you for all your support and help in representing me at my recent meeting with the company. I am in no doubt that your help led to the sensible outcome of all allegations being dismissed.
