Civil airlines pilots in Norway have also been members of the Confederation of Vocational Unions due to dissatisfaction with the Norwegian Airline Pilots Association.[3] However, in 2016, the union affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions. The following year, it absorbed the Norwegian Cockpit Union.[4]
