I think it’s 100% financed by pilot donations. I’m pretty no union funds/dues are used to finance the pilots only hardship fund. I think the Union encouraged it, but do not financially support it in any way.
Sucks that pilots with hardships cannot get help from company or the union - especially when both entities love to tout their financials.
