[Capt. Jason Ambrosi @ALPAPresident]

No matter what uniform we wear, every worker on the ground and in the sky deserves fair pay, benefits, flexibility, dignity & respect that comes with a strong contract. Together, we are stronger –– no matter the industry or profession. Standing in #SummerSolidarity with @afa_cwa!

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

Thank you @JasonCrowCO and especially Makenzie Fallt for your time, knowledge and expertise in our meeting. Your questions let me know that you understand the issues that confront safety in the skies. #alpa2024summit #safetystartswith2

Raising the pilot retirement age beyond 65 is not in compliance with international standards and will disrupt U.S. airline global operations. Tell Congress to oppose any increase to retirement age in FAA Reauthorization: https://t.co/e7ifSYCnxN @ALPAPilots https://t.co/lLiVspbaS0

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

@AlliedPilots @USATODAY Correct. However in 2001, using the events of 9/11, airline managements declared war on Unionized Pilots. The goal was to kill pay & benefits, making pilots pedestrian workers. They succeeded. Now they can’t find qualified pilots and they cry foul. I have ZERO sympathy for them.

[Capt. Jason Ambrosi @ALPAPresident]

There are proposals in Congress to arbitrarily raise the airline pilot retirement age to 67 without scientific study or operational consequences analysis. @ALPAPilots elected reps voted unanimously to oppose any change to the pilot retirement age; join us in taking action.

[Capt. Jason Ambrosi @ALPAPresident]

I couldn’t agree with @SecretaryPete more—this proposal is a solution in search of a problem. Any other change to #aviation safety regulations would require serious study by safety experts. Let’s not introduce risk into the U.S. aviation system and upend flight operations.

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

@RobBiddle777 @weareunited @ALPAPilots Chuck will truly be missed. He is a mentor of mine and a true professional.

[Air Line Pilots Association @ALPAPilots]

PILOT ALERT: Anti-union forces in Congress are trying to undermine your labor rights, your hard-fought collective bargaining agreements, and will worsen the training backlog. Take action now: https://t.co/DXmhYgtEGn

[Air Line Pilots Association @ALPAPilots]

The Thune-Sinema amendment codifies a training regime that is unstructured and introduces an unacceptable risk to our air transportation system.

“We’ve had an unprecedented safety record for more than a decade,” CA Dennis Tajer told @Forbes, “and now some are saying, ‘Let’s change things and see what happens.’ Unstudied and untested ideas like this are unnecessary and reckless.” https://t.co/kcL7UyYhjf

‼️ @United Pilots ‼️

@SenateGOP As a commercial airline pilot, I urge you to oppose S. 893 or any other legislative attempt to raise the mandatory retirement age for professional U.S. airline pilots above the age of 65. Increasing the retirement age will not increase the supply of pilots.

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

@UnitedPilots @united @ALPAPilots It’s unfortunate to see only one of them wearing the “Contract First” lanyard. As the saying goes “Every pilot group gets the contract they deserve”

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

Thank you Capt Genovese for reminding me that being a true Union member does NOT simply mean paying dues. It means supporting our fellow Union brothers and sisters around the world. #WeAreALPA #sheetmetalworkers

[Joseph Genovese @Capt_JG]

Passed by a park near my home and saw a sign that there was a union gathering. I could not pass without saying hello. Great union brothers and sisters. #sheetmetalworkers

[United Airlines Pilots @UnitedPilots]

We stand with @Alaskapilots to press the company to #DoTheRightThing #ValueAlaskaPilots

Will This United Pilot Be the Next FAA Administrator? https://t.co/lEZq1kK4hf via @Skift

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

And he’s more than up for that challenge!

Join me in honoring the memory of Capt. Saracini who died on 9/11 by telling Congress to cosponsor and pass the Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act, which mandates the #SecondaryBarriers recommended by the 9/11 Commission. https://t.co/5lX2aZok7t https://t.co/5lX2aZok7t

[Capt. R.J. Wolf @legislativewolf]

Join me in taking action to protect the US #aviation industry. #FlagsOfConvenience schemes allow companies to avoid labor & safety protections, putting flight crews, passengers, and cargo at risk. @alpapilots https://t.co/BbHbmDOuxd
