Air Line Pilots Association

Some people are saying one pilot is enough. That’s like saying one wing is enough. Air travel in the U.S. is the safest mode of transportation because there are always two pilots on the flight deck.

We once again find ourselves in the critically important role of championing safety over aggressive corporate interests that could undermine our nation’s successful aviation story. We’re doing everything we can to stop this gamble with safety. #SafetyStartsWith2 #Automation

Our industry can either choose to continue on a proven path that builds on the safety successes of our past, or veer off course and allow corporate interests to place profit ahead of public interest and safety by attempting to remove pilots from the flight deck. #SafetyStartsWith2

The push to reduce the number of flight deck crew is motivated primarily by economic considerations, an approach that unquestionably compromises the well-established safety practices that have made air travel the safest mode of transportation in the world. The safety of passengers and crew should always take precedence over economic considerations. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3WhzAgq #SafetyStartsWith2 #Automation #Airbus #AI

Over 1,500 students in the Seattle-Tacoma area had an opportunity to talk with ALPA pilots and explore other aviation careers at the annual Alaska Airlines Aviation Day earlier this summer. Capt. Sara Baer and F/O Bill Poppler, who both serve on the national and Alaska Pilots Education Committees, shared their experiences, answered questions, and provided information about various pathways to the flight deck. The event also featured static displays and tables at the airline’s hangars at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, full-motion flight sims at its ops building, and Microsoft flight sims at its Hub center. In addition, Baer and Poppler staffed a booth at Alaska’s Aviation Day in Portland last month. They engaged with approximately 1,200 students throughout the day to spark interest in a pilot career. Through these and other events, our Education Committee is working to promote the piloting profession, mentor aspiring aviators, and prepare future generations of pilots to join the ranks of our members.

Reduced-crew operations not only suffer the safety risks of higher workloads for the remaining pilot, or the incapacitation of the single pilot, but it also puts aviation safety on the edge of what technology is capable of. https://lnkd.in/eNh6rtfd #SafetyStartsWith2
