ALPA Pilots Rally on Capitol Hill to Protect Workers in International Airline Alliances

March 26, 2010 - ALPA pilots rallied on Capitol Hill this week to call on members of the U.S. House of Representatives to support the Aviation Jobs Outsourcing Prevention Act (H.R. 4788), which directs the Department of Transportation to ensure that new revenue-sharing agreements between U.S. and foreign airlines are beneficial to U.S. airline workers as well as to their airlines.

Nearly two dozen ALPA members, including pilots from United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and FedEx, joined Capt. John Prater, ALPA’s president, to meet with Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.), who introduced the legislation.
