The ATC Alliance represents approx 25,000 unionized Air Traffic Controllers from the USA, Spain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
This - “Mr O’Leary suggested that Nats “isn’t understaffed”, but employs many controllers who “just don’t show up to work.” - is an outrageous slur on @ProspectUnion@ATCOsBranch members, with no evidence. O’Leary should withdraw it and apologise. https://t.co/oFakWP9HLW
We remember all those who tragically lost their lives 22 years ago today, and we pay tribute to the aviation professionals who maintained the safety of the aviation system in incredibly difficult circumstances.
Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We remember those who lost their lives and commend the aviation safety professionals that were on duty that day for their bravery and hard work.

As we recall the tragedy of 9/11, let us never forget the 2,977 souls who perished that day and the thousands more who have fought and continue to protect our nation so we will never endure something like 9/11 again. #NeverForget
Today marks the 22nd year since the largest terrorist attack in American history. This makes it an extremely important day for many people and a significant one for numerous professions – first responders in particular. It also carries special significance for the entire aviation industry, air traffic controllers included.
On this somber anniversary, we recognize the quick-thinking, and coordinated actions of the air traffic controllers on duty during this horrific event. Facing an enormous and unforeseen challenge, air traffic controllers guided over 5,000 aircraft to landing within only a few hours, working in close collaboration with other ANSPs, pilots, and airports. Controllers in Canada demonstrated professionalism and reliability.
There were many heroes on that day, and our air traffic controllers were among them.

Aujourd'hui, 22 ans se sont écoulés depuis le plus grand attentat terroriste de l'histoire des États-Unis. C'est donc un jour extrêmement important pour de nombreuses personnes et pour de nombreuses professions - les premiers intervenants en particulier. Il revêt également une importance particulière pour l'ensemble du secteur de l'aviation, y compris les contrôleurs aériens.
En ce sombre anniversaire, nous saluons la rapidité d'esprit et la coordination des actions des contrôleurs aériens en service lors de cet horrible événement. Sans marge d'erreur, les contrôleurs aériens ont collectivement permis à plus de 5 000 avions d'être guidés en toute sécurité vers le sol en l'espace de quelques heures. Les contrôleurs du Canada ont fait preuve de professionnalisme et de solidité. Il y a eu beaucoup de héros ce jour-là, et nos contrôleurs aériens en faisaient partie.

Dominican Republic: 28 ATCOs illegally removed from position 6 yrs ago for protesting a lack of operational safety are reinstated. They won in court but it took a new govt to resolve. @ITFglobalunion has supported this group from the beginning. Strength in Union! 💙 #Solidarity
