Aviation Organizations

The Airline Pilot Association (ALPA) represents pilots of regional airlines in the United States. This includes pilots of Envoy Air (operating as American Eagle). I plan on becoming a pilot for Envoy Air upon reaching the ATP minimums. The Airline Pilot Association is the largest airline pilot union in the United States. They represent the views of pilots and negotiate with both Congress and the regional airlines (including negotiating regional airline contracts with mainline operators). The Airline Pilot Association will support me throughout my career by representing the needs of the pilot and promoting safety.

The Allied Pilot Association (APA) represents pilots of American Airlines. I plan on upgrading to American Airlines following employment with Envoy Air (operating as American Eagle). The Allied Pilot Association is the largest independent pilot union in the United States. They represent the views of the American Airlines pilots and work to promote safety within the airline. The Allied Pilot Association is operated by former American Airlines pilots and understands the need of current pilots. The Allied Pilot Association will support me throughout my career by representing the needs of the pilot and promoting safety.

  1. It's interesting to see the different pilot union's for different airlines. I wonder which airline has the strongest union.

  2. ALPA is not just for regional airlines, ALPA represents over 31 airlines in both the United states and Canada. I agree with you joining an organization such as ALPA is definitely a good idea and i highly recommend it.
