IPA Foundation

Since the early days of the association, the IPA leadership has felt it was important for the membership to be represented to the public in a philanthropic endeavor. Therefore, the Independent Pilots Association Foundation, or IPA Foundation,[1] was officially formed in late 1993. The first fiscal year began on July 1, 1994 and since then the Foundation has functioned as a separate entity, entirely self-sufficient, operated solely from the donations received through its members. As a separate entity, the IPA Foundation conforms to existing labor laws as well as sec. 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.

Government affairs

The IPA Government Affairs Missions statement is: "To promote global aviation safety and security and encourage continued economic growth for the aviation industry". The IPA is a member of The Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations - CAPA.

The IPA has filed suit on December 22, 2011 against the FAA to mandate new rest and duty regulations apply to all cargo airlines as well as passenger airlines.[2]

Historical actions

The association honored the picket lines when the Teamsters went on strike in 1997 for 16 days.[3]
