"We cannot change what happened...but we have the opportunity to make changes from the lessons learned." Tim and Sheri Lilley give a heartfelt keynote in memory of their son, Honorary Capt. Sam Lilley. @famofflight5342 deserve action. #ALPA2026Summit
We’re committed to an aviation system where seeking mental health care is a professional responsibility, not a career risk. The Mental Health in Aviation Act helps remove barriers while ensuring that aviation safety remains paramount. Take action today! https://t.co/QsFY5vr8D4
While you’re checking into your flight, pilots are inspecting the aircraft top to bottom, confirming that critical systems are in working order. 👩✈️👨✈️️️✈️ #HolidaySeason#Travel
ALPA VP Capt. Wendy Morse and ALPA Security Group Chair Capt. Wolfgang Koch present the Aviation Security Award to @Delta_Pilots F/O Bryan Patchen in honor of his volunteer service to our union and fellow pilots. #ALPAASF
Some of our air traffic control towers use radars from the 1960s and the operating system we use dates back to 1995 and 2000. We’re dealing with floppy discs and paper strips!
The mess we inherited is insane.
Technology has far exceeded what we have so @USDOT is upgrading our air traffic control with the most advanced system.
Check out all the details in my interview with @mirandadevine on Pod Force One! ⬇️
We need the best and brightest in our airport towers. @POTUS & I are committed to getting them the innovative equipment worthy of the greatest country in the world.
Air traffic control is a great career with great pay and you don't need a college degree to apply. And as we build our brand new air traffic control system, you have the opportunity to be leading the way into the golden age of air travel in America 🇺🇸
As part of National Air Traffic Control Day, I want to thank our controllers for keeping us all safe.
If you're looking for an impactful career, consider joining our air traffic control workforce!
My wife and son visited Arlington on this day. Unfortunately, they missed this ceremonial moment. Each year when I visit Washington DC my son always wants to go watch the Tomb Guards and walk the cemetery.
On June 2, 2025, Sergeant of the Guard Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Jay took his final walk as a Tomb Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. In a powerful farewell, he laid roses at each crypt of the Unknown Soldiers, then walked off the plaza hand in hand with his 8-year-old son, Finn.
@VernBuchanan Thank you for meeting with @ALPAPilots earlier this month. As a constituent and professional airline pilot I ask you to please co-sign the Garamendi-Bresnahan letter opposing single pilot operations. Airline passengers deserve two pilots on the flight deck.
“This doesn’t just happen.” @NTSB Chair @JenniferHomendy highlights what made the difference on Alaska Airlines Flight 1282: training, professionalism & a crew that stayed calm and laser focused when it mattered most. ✈️ 177 lives. Two pilots. One safe outcome. #SafetyStartsWith2
