Help stand up for our profession! Join CommutAir pilots in Cleveland for their first ALPA picket, Tuesday, October 26.
The pilots of CommutAir welcome all ALPA pilots to join them in their first-ever informational picketing event this Tuesday, October 26, in Cleveland. The CommutAir pilots joined ALPA in 2008 and have been in negotiations for the past 20 months for their first contract. Last month CommutAir management presented a shocking economic proposal that demands a 9 percent pay cut for the CMT group, who are already among the lowest-paid pilots in the industry. This proposal would make the CMT pilots dead last in pay among fee-for-departure carriers, a direct assault on ALPA’s fight for pay parity among regional pilots. The CommutAir pilots refuse to participate in this race to the bottom, and need your help.
