    The PPU is a British pilot union that currently represents over 75% of the unionised pilots of Virgin Atlantic Airways.

    History

    On November 26, 2012 the PPU was certified as a new union by the Certification office in the UK. 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. It now represents over 75% over Virgin Atlantic's unionised pilots.

    The PPU motto is “Safety, Professionalism, Respect”.

    The PPU is a web-based “e-union” using technology to give it and its members a global 24/7/365 presence.

    Currently, membership is restricted to pilots from Virgin Atlantic Airways. However, it is the PPU's intention to open up membership to pilots from all UK airlines in the near future.

    The PPU Mission Statement

    1. To fully represent and robustly support members of the PPU and to actively promote and augment professional pilots’ terms & conditions, pay, working environment and professional status.

    That Day

    by: Poe

    Tomorrow's coming 'round
    A hair-pin curve in the road
    She's got a run in her stocking
    And she's missing the heel of her shoe
    Got up this morning rolled out of bed
    I spilled a diet coke
    Called my mother said, "Hi"
    What I meant to say was, "Why is your life a joke?"
    Then, I went down to that ugly bar and
    I clicked my heels three times just like you said
    And I climbed that road to your empty house
    The anticipation was a turn on
    But you let me down
    'Coz, I stood on that empty street alone
    I said, "I'm ready for my close up now, Mr. Demille"
    I waited for the light, but it never shone
    Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land
    That overlooks a billion years of history
    I have a sneaking suspicion, you will never understand
    Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky and Bullwinkle
    And we can talk to that charlatan psychic
    And she can paint a prettier picture of your future
    'Coz that day in my life, that day in my life
    I dreamt tomorrow, had a prettier face
    I dreamt tomorrow, would have better things to say
    Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch?
    You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right"
    'Coz that day, never should have taken place
    'Coz this day, in my life still cannot explain
    Why I listened in the first place to you?
    Oh yeah, something else
    I hope one day you call up your father
    And you have the guts to tell him, how he hurt you
    And he made you hurt another
