Spirit Pilots Reelect Union Officers

FT. LAUDERDALE—The Spirit Airlines Master Executive Council (MEC) of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) today announced it has reelected its officers to lead the nearly 3,700 Spirit pilots for another term.

The voting members of the Spirit MEC unanimously reelected Captain Ryan Muller, chair; Captain Mark Zust, vice chair; and Captain Chris Boziel, secretary-treasurer. The officers will serve continuously through the end of the term ending March 2026.

“This is a strong, engaged, experienced officer group, committed to protecting and strengthening Spirit pilot careers through any challenge or opportunity that comes our way,” said MEC Chair Ryan Muller. “We are proud and grateful to continue to serve Spirit pilots.”

This slate of officers will lead the pilot group as it reopens negotiations under the Railway Labor Act for an improved collective bargaining agreement following the announcement of the termination of the proposed merger with JetBlue Airways.

Founded in 1931, ALPA is the largest airline pilot union in the world and represents more than 77,000 pilots at 43 U.S. and Canadian airlines. Visit ALPA.org or follow us on Twitter @ALPAPilots.
