What was feared – and anticipated by many of you – has happened. Two pilots who invested significant efforts in organising and uniting the pilot community lost their jobs and income. After a thorough assessment, the ECA Board authorised the use of the #PIlotUnity fund to support your colleagues in these difficult times. Your financial contribution is fulfilling its purpose – making sure pilot leaders are empowered to fight for pilots’ rights!
The first pilot was nominated for support by the interim EERC and an ECA Member Association. The pilot lost his/her employment at the end of 2017 following some turbulent times at the airline where (s)he worked and his/her active involvement in union work. The good news is that the pilot has already secured a new flying job and the #PilotUnity fundwould bridge the time until starting the new position.
