ASO Supports ICAO Cabin Safety Initiatives

ALPA air safety representatives participated in International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) discussions in Montréal, Qué., in late November 2018. ICAO’s Cabin Safety Group (ICSG) reviewed proposed enhancements to cabin crew training documents to reflect the organization’s current initiatives on competency-based training and assessment. ICAO is proposing the enhancements to further reduce accident and incident rates.

F/O Hannah Peavy (ExpressJet), a member of ALPA’s Air Safety Organization Aircraft Design and Operations Group, along with an occupational health and safety specialist from ALPA’s Engineering & Air Safety Department, serve as subject-matter experts to the ICSG. At the meeting, they and the members reviewed and discussed the proposed guidance. The ICSG also held a robust discussion on the development and implementation of digital learning, which includes training facilities and devices. ALPA’s representatives supported enhanced training standards for all aviation personnel.
