#UPECC
Our thoughts are with colleagues at Ascend Airways recently made redundant.
Your contribution to your airline, your passengers, and the wider industry matters. This moment does not define your value.
If you need support or guidance on next steps, we are here to help.
Membership density has increased 240% in comparison to last month, and the month isn’t even over yet. I guess professionals in the industry have finally had enough. UPECC
We’re hosting a Meet & Greet and EVERYONE is welcome - if you’re a member or just interested in finding out more.
For Pilots, Engineers and Cabin Crew, this is a great opportunity to chat with local reps, ask questions and share thoughts.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
We were made aware that Blue Islands has entered administration and has suspended operations. We know this will be a difficult time for the crews and engineers affected.
UPECC will support any members impacted and we will provide further updates when possible.

We all love this industry, and it is only that love that keeps so many of us here.
The UPECC team stands firmly with all those impacted, Pilots, Cabin Crew, and Engineers alike.

Flybe Administration
We were made aware late last night that Flybe ltd was going into administration. We are supporting our members there, and will continue to assist them where we can.
Merry Christmas to everyone, especially our members. We’ve been heartened to say we have been fully available and operational through the Festive period looking out for our members.

Recent employee pay offers at two of the UK’s largest airlines, demonstrate that employee voice and a truly transparent meaningful relationship are both lacking. Colleague groups can be marginalised when this doesn’t exist, and we are seeing some of this across the UK @Join_upecc

"Breeze plans to file a legal challenge" - In Employee Relations literature it is recognised how important the employee voice is. So WHY do airline leaders the world over frustrate processes that allows that voice to build better relations.
