We advocate by the targeted and effective dissemination of our views to a wide range of stakeholders. We develop and share advocacy messages on critical industry and aviation issues to all levels of government, regulatory authorities around the world, international and domestic aviation and aerospace organizations, airport authorities, fellow trade unions and the media.
We represent our members on individual issues with the employer, as well as collectively through the bargaining process to ensure better working conditions and career prospects for our highly trained and specialized professional members. Our staff — which includes lawyers and labour relations experts — are dedicated to serving our pilots throughout their careers.
We engage our members on an ongoing basis, through their interactions with their elected representatives, via surveys and through member communications, to continuously update and adjust our direction.
In May 2023, we—the pilots at Canada’s largest airline—voted to fold our union into the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), growing ALPA’s membership to more than 75,000 pilots in Canada and the United States. Soon after the merger, we invoked an escape clause that allowed the Air Canada ALPA pilots to end our 10-year framework with Air Canada one year early.
