We've got you covered!
If you are changing base and are a member of an ECA affiliated union, check whether you can carry your membership with you to your new location.
Unions and Pilot Associations that are affiliated to the European Cockpit Association (ECA) have adopted the “Seamless Membership” scheme which gives pilots the possibility to carry their union membership from their current union to the union in the country of their new base without having to start a new waiting period. This means no waiting time until they can benefit from all union membership services and benefits, including legal support.
“Member associations commit to provide seamless pilot representation & seamless legal protection (according to the national rules of the MA) across national borders when pilots change base & country, without a waiting/probation period in the new MA and ‘leaving period’ in the previous MA, and based on the principle that for pilots with an on-going legal case the previous MA continues to support that case.”
