CFPA
ORGANIZATION
The Canadian Federal Pilots Association (CFPA) is a bargaining agent
representing the approximately 450 professional pilots whose activities
include federal government aviation inspections, pilot flight testing,
licencing, enforcement, certification of operators, aircraft certification
flight testing, development of operating standards, Coast Guard helicopter
operation, aviation accident investigation, safety analysis and promotion,
and the design, monitoring and regulation of the air navigation system.
CFPA members are employed by Transport Canada, the Transportation Safety
Board, and NAV CANADA. CFPA members hold Airline Transport Pilot Licences,
which is the highest level of pilot licence attainable in Canada. Aviation
regulations require that our members maintain their professional currency in
order to retain their licences.
In the past a high percentage of our group came from military pilot
backgrounds; however, we currently find that over 70% of our members
originate from the civilian aviation industry. Our members are typically
qualified at the check pilot, supervisory, or company management levels
prior to their starting their careers in service to the public and, as a
result, they bring a wealth of expertise and professional experience to
their organizations.
The Canadian Federal Pilots Association is dedicated to improving the
working conditions for our members and is committed to maintaining high
standards of professional qualification and aviation safety on behalf of the
Canadian public.
