What Independent Pilots Association does
Mission
The Independent Pilots Association (IPA) is the collective bargaining agent for the pilots employed by United Parcel Service. The IPA negotiates and submits to its members contracts for ratification and acts in the interest of its members.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Contract implementation continues over the term of a contract, as the parties to the contract interpret, discuss and agree upon the intent of the contract language.
Defense of the contract is an ongoing service to the membership and includes the formal system of hearings used to defend the contract. Cases advance through an escalating series of hearings, beginning with grievance, then to system board and possibly to arbitration.
An ongoing service is the pursuit of airline industry safety initiatives that serve to protect the membership.
The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $19M to $23M (+23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
