FPU Romania

25/08/2026

Base changes are already happening across several Romanian aviation bases, and naturally, questions are starting to follow.

Swipe for the basics. 👉

Do you have to relocate? What happens if you say no? Should you resign? And what happens if jobs eventually become affected?

We've put together a practical briefing based on what we know today and on situations we've dealt with before.

Full briefing, head to the in our bio and stories.

If you're an FPUR member and receive an individual proposal, speak to your representative before making a decision.

Good wages and working conditions do not fall from the sky. And when things change, neither do the solutions. They have to be discussed and negotiated. ✈️ 🇷🇴

Belgrade crews, this one's for you. 🇷🇸

We've heard some concerning stories. Now we'd like to understand what's really happening.

Talk to us privately.

If you have friends or former colleagues flying in Belgrade, please share this with them. We're looking for first-hand experiences.

How many flights does it take...

before "I'm just tired" becomes "I'm fatigued"?

Nobody knows. That's why European Pilots is asking You.

Not every FPU member flies an Airbus or a Boeing. ✈️

✅ Some fly on weekends.
✅ Some instruct.
✅ Some own or operate general or private aviation aircraft.

For them, we're happy to welcome Alpha Handling as a new FPU Club partner.

Members flying in/out of Bucharest Băneasa Airport (BBU) can now benefit from 20% off Alpha Handling's basic service.

It may well be just a small niche benefit, but it's exactly the kind of partnership we want in FPU Club: useful, relevant, built around aviation. 🛩️

Aviation has always connected people.
It's only natural that unions do the same.

Looking forward to working with our colleagues from Latvia. 🇷🇴🤝🇱🇻

FPU and FPU Romania are strengthening their cross-border cooperation by signing an agreement with Latvian Aviation Union (LAU) to advance workers' rights and promote sustainable employment practices in the aviation sector.

Our members fly for different airlines, wear different uniforms and work under different contracts.

But when it comes to safety, respect, working conditions and fair treatment, we have far more in common than what separates us.

Today, FPU Romania brings together pilots and cabin crew from across the Romanian aviation industry, while also supporting Romanian aviation professionals flying elsewhere in Europe.

Some of our communities are just getting started.

Others, like Malta Air Romania, have already built a representative trade union and negotiated a Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) for OTP base.

Your colleagues may already be part of the community.

✅ If not, maybe you're the one who starts it.
✅ Every enquiry and every membership request is treated confidentially.
✅ Let's talk. Wherever you fly, you're welcome here.

Some of the best conversations in aviation never happen on the flight deck or in the aft galley.

Sometimes, they happen on the crew bus after a long day...

Let's settle this one.

Friends at work... or just colleagues?

👇 Tell us why in the comments and see you on the next Crew Bus. 🚌 ✈️

The Crew Lounge is a new series by Club FPU, built by crew, for crew.

Every city has its hidden gems. The places where crews grab a great coffee, enjoy a good meal or unwind between flights.

Our first stop: Bucharest 🇷🇴

Have a favourite spot we missed? Leave it in the comments. It might make the next edition.

Next stop: Copenhagen 🇩🇰

"I simply don't have time to recover."

A story from Japan. 🇯🇵
A story from Romania. 🇷🇴

Cabin crew in Japan have just won an important court case about fatigue and safety. ✈️

A few weeks ago, one of our members sent us this message:

"I only fly night duties, sometimes five or six in a row. Every flight is delayed. I simply don't have time to recover. It's awful."

Tina flies for one of Europe's largest low-cost airlines. 🇪🇺

Different country. Different airline.

The conversation is exactly the same.

Fatigue rarely comes from one difficult flight. It builds quietly, one roster, one delay, one short night at a time.

The Japanese story is well worth the read.
