As we observe Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women of our military who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice carries a weight that cannot be overstated, and we remain grateful for the freedoms secured through their courage and devotion.

Last week the Alaska and Hawaiian MECs unanimously passed resolutions urging Alaska Airlines to give favorable hiring consideration to former Spirit Airlines pilots.
Earlier this month, Spirit Airlines ceased operations, leaving 2,000 pilots unemployed. @SpiritMEC_ALPA

Alaska and Hawaiian MEC Chairs discuss why this first joint contract matters. It’s about building a foundation - one that supports pay, job security, work rules, and quality of life - and shapes pilot career progression in the years ahead.

[Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots @AlaskaHawaiian]

Today the cessation of Spirit Airlines operations was announced. Our hearts go out to 2000+ fellow ALPA pilots and all Spirit employees

We ask @AlaskaPilots to keep an eye out for Spirit crew members needing assistance getting home or other support during this challenging time

Newly elected Alaska MEC Chair Capt. Drew Coyle issued his first official message to the Alaska Airlines pilot group. As pilots navigate the merger joint contract negotiations and a new union leadership transition, he outlined a clear strategic vision for the pilot group.

[Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots @AlaskaHawaiian]

On Tuesday, we were proud to recognize and celebrate the volunteers who advance the Alaska MEC’s mission, protecting pilot wages, benefits, work rules, and job security.
👏 Thank you to our honorees:

[Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots @AlaskaHawaiian]

As contract negotiations continue, we’re expanding outreach to connect pilots with MEC officers, reps, and committee volunteers ensuring their voices are heard on the merger, negotiations, and other key issues.

We mourn the loss of two Jazz Aviation pilots and hold in our thoughts those injured in an accident Sunday night at LaGuardia Airport.

Our heartfelt condolences are with the families, loved ones, and colleagues of the pilots, and we are thinking of all those impacted.

[Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots @AlaskaHawaiian]

Alaska & Hawaiian MECs hosted pilot events in SEA & HNL to share negotiation updates and hear feedback. Progress has been made but talks have slowed as key issues remain. The union will continue providing opportunities for pilots to connect as negotiations reach a critical stage.

[Alaska-Hawaiian Pilots @AlaskaHawaiian]

On behalf of all #alaskapilots, thank you to our outgoing MEC Officers and LEC Representatives. Your time, leadership, and commitment have made a real difference for our pilots and strengthened our Association. We’re grateful for your service. #ALPAPilots

Today marks one year since Alaska and Hawaiian pilots began negotiating a JCBA with @AlaskaAir.

The union remains focused on securing a fair contract that delivers gains for both pilot groups. The next bargaining session with management is scheduled for Monday, March 2.

Today we honor the life & legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & his commitment to justice, equality, & dignity for all people. His leadership reminds us of what can be achieved through solidarity, collective action, & standing together in pursuit of fairness and respect for all.
