The PPU was a British pilots' union that represented a minority of the pilots who worked for Virgin Atlantic.
History
On 26 November 2012, the PPU was certified as a new union by the Trades Union Certification Officer. "The PPU was launched after a poll of 548 Virgin Atlantic pilots in June 2012 returned a 76% response and an 87.4% vote in favour" of setting up a new union to represent its members' needs.
The PPU's AR21 form for the year ending 31 December 2018 declared that it had 325 members. It represented 30% of Virgin Atlantic's pilots. The AR21 showed a deficit of £150,840 for the year and an amount remaining in their general fund of £175,492.
The PPU was a web-based "e-union" that used technology to give it and its members a global 24/7/365 presence. Membership was eventually expanded to include pilots working for TUI Airways and British Airways.
The union was dissolved in February 2021.
