The Board, the Security Committee and other Standing Committees, employees and shop stewards, all assist pilots in a variety of ways and in different areas, thus providing pilots with the support that they need.
The purpose of the Association is to negotiate wages and terms on behalf of its members, to work on aviation safety issues, to protect the professional rights and interests of its members, and to provide support to members in the event of illness, according to the bylaws of the Sickness Fund.
