ALPA Honors Anniversary of 9/11
The professional airline pilots and staff of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) join together today to honor the memories of the victims of 9/11 and to pay tribute to the crews of United Flight 93, United Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 11, and American Airlines Flight 77.
On that horrific day 11 years ago, the emotional questions of why and how such attacks could have happened quickly evolved into our firm resolve: We will prevent this act from happening again. We will, as airline pilots, never again witness a friend, a family member or a fellow crewmember leave us too early in this manner.
Today, as we have done each year since 2001, the airline pilots and staff of ALPA reaffirm our commitment to stand together and to stay vigilant and actively engaged in every effort to secure our skies. We will never forget.
