Very few people other than @CaptSully know firsthand the importance of having two fully-qualified & highly-trained pilots on the flight deck of every airline flight. I appreciate his continued strong voice & advocacy to ensure we keep our skies the world’s safest.
Yesterday marked the start of the four-year terms for our new National Officers. All of our National Officers were elected this past October by our Board of Directors. Learn more about the new team: https://t.co/EHoroQAEUN
Hundreds of Alaska Airlines Pilots Picket Over Stalled Negotiations: Armed w/ picket signs telling management to “Do the Right Thing—Value Your Pilots,” hundreds of @AlaskaPilots participated in the systemwide picket. Read more: https://t.co/sAvOJYN1YH #ValueAlaskaPilots
There are more than enough #pilots to meet U.S. airline demand. Contrary to the false narrative some are pushing about pilot supply, here’s what mainline airline chief executive officers have recently said about it. Learn more: https://t.co/aU5MNl3Ds9
When you’re an airline #pilot, no two days are the same. In this edition of “A Day in the Life”, read about ALPA @FedExPilots Captain @KandyBernsk’s experience flying cargo. #MotivationMonday https://t.co/XDvoLrswHn
We know the benefits of technological advances, but we also know that cutting-edge technology must be carefully deployed with safety as the primary focus. We look forward to partnering with all stakeholders to safely roll out #5G technology. Learn more: https://t.co/wEwqjpHuRY
Thank you @RepKahele and @RepEllzey for your support of and advocacy for the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, which provides a critical, efficient, and economical layer of defense to our national #aviation security system. https://t.co/UkgVqsfX8i
Two telecom company CEOs and an agency that has no history with #aviation safety think they know better than those who fly commercial airliners for a living. Hear from @ALPAPresident why #5G interference is a big deal for #pilots.
@SecretaryPete & @FAA_Steve are rightly defending U.S. leadership in aviation safety—and protecting passengers and shippers—by insisting that telecom companies ensure safety before launching new 5G service . . .” @ALPAPresident https://t.co/AOohyljC3e
The only thing dysfunctional is the way the @FCC ignored safety concerns raised by @ALPAPilots & other aviation safety experts & gave @Verizon & @ATT a blank check, w/no regard for #SafeSkies. @FAANews, @USDOT & frontline aviation workers will determine when it’s safe to fly.
“It’s going to prevent our pilots from being able to fly low visibility approaches which are going to cause more disruptions,” @ALPAPilots@ALPAPresident Joe DePete says on 5G interrupting various flight instruments and mechanisms. Full comments:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: safety cannot take a back seat to corporate profit. We must work together to evaluate the risks of 5G deployment on aviation in order to keep workers and passengers safe.
“There are ways that 5G can be deployed while maintaining our high level of aviation safety.”@ALPAPresident. We remain ready to work on making #5G safe for everyone. https://t.co/yLEyKpwN9l
