Highly skilled and well-trained airline #pilots play a critical role in the safe completion of every airline flight. Attracting the best and the brightest to join the ranks of today’s professional airline pilots has been a priority @ALPAPilots initiative for decades.
No one is more committed to ensuring a robust pipeline of qualified airline pilots than @ALPAPilots. VP Admin/Sec. Capt. Bill Couette put it best “If we can attract intelligent, interested, eager, young people to the job, we’ve created a great foundation.” #FutureOfTheProfession
Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, @ALPAPilots have continued to advocate for the MANDATORY installation of a lightweight #security device known as “Secondary Barrier” simpleflying.com/alpa-faa-se…
The @delta_Pilots and all @ALPAPilots demand a delay in 5G implementation now. The @FAA @FCC @CTIA and @USDOT must prioritize consumer safety. @SecretaryPete @SenateDems @SenateGOP #5G reuters.com/technology/exclu…
Today is the anniversary of USAir 1549 #TheMiracleOnTheHudson, the most successful ditching in aviation history - the crew knew what they were supposed to do and as a result, no lives were lost. Supporting the critical importance of having two pilots #TrainedForLife
The saying "two is better than one" reigns true more than ever when it comes to air safety. Two pilots on every flight deck keeps you safe. Learn more - buff.ly/3I3Ln8s
Commercial aviation is the world’s safest mode of #transportation and history shows that at least two fully qualified, highly trained, and well-rested #pilots on the flight deck is an airliner’s strongest safety asset. Read more bit.ly/3Be2YY1

From the #FlightDeck to #JobSecurity, the need to prevent #FlagofConvenience carriers has never been greater. U.S. #aviation jobs are at risk of being lost to foreign competitors intent on utilizing this scheme which decimated the maritime industry bit.ly/3izVqYw
#Security and #Safety of our pilots is of utmost importance and the airline industry, along with government, airports, aviation workers and law enforcement, must take every possible action to protect the #FlightDeck, read more here bit.ly/3oEx7we

To keep flying the safest mode of transportation we must keep two experienced, trained and rested professional pilots on the flight deck. Learn more about what’s at risk.

The Fair and Open Skies Act of 2021 would strengthen existing laws and put an end to unfair business practices, ensuring a fair opportunity for the U.S. airline sector to compete globally. Tell Congress: Support the Fair and Open Skies Act! alpa.quorum.us/campaign/3320…

In 2018, the U.S. Congress mandated that the @FAANews issue a rule within one year requiring the installation of #SecondaryBarriers on newly manufactured commercial #Aircraft, but that still hasn’t happened 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Ensuring we have the best and brightest in the #pilot pipeline, we continuously seek ways to attract those who never thought a career in aviation was accessible. One of those ways is through our school outreach program, Cleared to Dream, check it out at clearedtodream.org/
