Legislation Must Protect U.S. Airline Industry Jobs
March 20, 2012 - Capt. Lee Moak, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Senate’s procedural vote to block adding the reauthorization of the Export–Import Bank of the United States to other legislation currently under consideration by Senate lawmakers.

“The Air Line Pilots Association, International, does not oppose the Export–Import Bank’s reauthorization and we are hopeful that, with additional time before the final reauthorization is considered, all parties interested in the Bank’s reauthorization, including ALPA, can work together to amend the reauthorization to protect U.S. airline workers’ jobs without putting the Bank’s ultimate reauthorization in jeopardy.”
