Please join me in opposing the proposal from ALPA on the Flight Time / Duty Time proposal. Write ALPA at [email protected]
See my e-mail to them below:
To Whom It May Concern:
I find it incredible that ALPA, an association that is supposed to represent the
interests of its members and keep their safety in mind at all times, has proposed increasing
the amount of flight time from 8 hours to 9 hours.
This is yet another example of how out of touch the Association is with its membership.
First it was the Age 60 rule change and now this. In an effort to reduce pilot fatigue,
ALPA has proposed flying longer hours in the air without supplemental crew.
With a supplemental crew, anything above 7 hours gets my support but increasing the
amount of flight time without supplemental crew is simply unacceptable.
Again the membership was ignored in a career changing process. No polls were taken no
feedback garnered other than hand-picked representatives that are known to have advocated
contract concessions, etc.
When will my union begin to stand up for safety instead of its own, selfish motives?
Concerned,
Brad Day
