The 181 pilots at North American Airlines (NAA) are the newest members of the Air Line Pilots (ALPA). An overwhelming 87 percent of the pilots voted for the union.
The pilots fly Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft for passenger, military and cargo operations around the world.
“We are extremely pleased that the NAA pilots have joined the ALPA family,” says Capt. John Prater, ALPA’s president.
NAA pilots realized that the world’s largest pilot’s union has the resources vital to help them enforce their current contract now and prepare for negotiations in the future.
The pilots chose ALPA “because of the many benefits such as aeromedical services and the access to worldwide support through ALPA,” says Capt. Al Gallo, temporary master executive council (MEC) chairman of the NAA unit of ALPA.
Those benefits extend to the ALPA staff whose vast experience and expertise will be invaluable in our efforts to protect our rights and advance our careers.
