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

@ALPAPilots continues to push the FAA to issue a secondary flight deck barrier regulation. Despite Congressional action in 2018, the FAA has not implemented this critical measure to improve safety for passengers and aviation workers.

[DeltaMEC GovAffairs @DALMECgov]

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” https://t.co/v3b7bwoOZA

@ALPA Capt Bob Fox “ALPA continues to monitor efforts to reduce or eliminate pilots from the flight deck. We need to remind everyone that the best safety feature on any commercial airliner is two well-trained, fully rested, highly qualified pilots on the flight deck.”@alpafox

[DeltaMEC GovAffairs @DALMECgov]

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 https://t.co/0y8z86aQ8j

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

@ALPA pilots are fully committed to identifying and removing barriers that #FuturePilots face as they consider and pursue careers in aviation but will not support any effort to weaken aviation safety rules that have kept our skies the #safest in the world. #TrainedForLife

[DeltaMEC GovAffairs @DALMECgov]

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 https://t.co/6uljkY46uP

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 https://t.co/hoymQ18TH6

[DeltaMEC GovAffairs @DALMECgov]

#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 https://t.co/LG7gPAH5WP

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! https://t.co/hrKnOTZ8fn

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 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
