ALPA Calls on Canadian Government to Immediately Unveil Plans for Easing Travel Restrictions: Read the full statement from ALPA Canada President @tim_f_perry here: https://t.co/XVp6I0Japc
"Now is the time to put scarce testing resources where Canadians need them most: in our communities and not in our airports."
Read the open letter signed by @WestJet's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. McKnight:
Until the government can adequately provide scientific data, and epidemiologists have explicitly commented about the effectiveness of such restrictions, ALPA Canada does not support introducing further travel restrictions.” - @tim_f_perry Read more: https://t.co/MvO5zpd0yY
In 2020, ALPA pilots spent 3.2 million hours in training, sharpening their skills in preparation to return you to the skies. We’re not just ready—we’re more than ready to get you back to life. #wearealpa@ALPACanada@ALPAPilots
The most vital safety feature is having two experienced, trained, and rested professional pilots on the flight deck. Evidence shows that the risks and challenges associated with single-pilot operations far outweigh its potential benefits. #wearealpa@ALPAPilots@ALPACanada
Before @WestJet started flying 25 years ago, only 18% of Canadian adults travelled by air. Today, 50% of Canadians travel by air, while over the same period, average airfares have declined by 45%.
