ANPAC - Italy Alpa

🔵 10 years of EurECCA 🔵 On Tuesday, 17 September 2024, the European Cabin Crew Association (EurECCA) celebrated its 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion, representatives of the EurECCA partner unions (ANPAC - Italy Alpa, UFO, VNC - Vereniging Nederlands Cabinepersoneel, STAVLA, SNPVAC, RACU) and guests from other organizations from various European countries came together at a conference to discuss common challenges, successes and current developments in the aviation industry. The CEO of TAP Air Portugal, Dr Luis Rodrigues , was also invited as a keynote speaker to answer questions from the audience. Many of the topics and problems are similar for crews across countries, which once again emphasized the need for dialogue and cooperation. In addition to exciting presentations and discussions, it became clear how important it is to be actively involved at European level. Due to the complexity of the aviation industry, which is more subject to external conditions than any other industry, international cohesion is crucial in order to effectively represent the interests of cabin crews. But it wasn't all work—there was also time to eat, socialize, and celebrate together. After all, a milestone like this deserves to be properly recognized! 

Why is it so important to have two well trained and rested pilots in the cockpit at all time in a flight?! Watch this video where the presidents of IFALPA, Air Line Pilots Association and the European Pilots (ECA) explain, on behalf of the entire group of Pilots’ Associations worldwide, why two pilots are essential for safety. It's worth watching it until the end as it provide numerous examples of cases where the presence and synergy between the two pilots at the controls was crucial for flight safety. Enjoy the view! https://lnkd.in/eDzrp9aY

Every passenger deserves a safe flight, no matter what. This means having 2 qualified pilots at the controls, regardless of the flight, price, airline, or aircraft type. Recognising the risks associated with single-pilot flights, European Pilots have launched a website (https://lnkd.in/ddentMW3) aimed at those most impacted: the passengers. ANPAC - Italy Alpa supports this initiative, so please help us share it with all the passengers that will take the skies!

The second and last day of the ECA conference was marked by the presence of a keynote speaker: Ms. Magda Kopczyńska, the Director General for the European Commission ’s for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE).

Thanks to European Pilots for hosting this event that gave the opportunity to strength ANPAC - Italy Alpa international cooperation in order to promote and defend the right and interest of the pilots. #safetystartswith2 #flightsafety #safety #aviation #pilots #airlines

Some people are saying one pilot is enough. That’s like saying one wing is enough. Always having two pilots on the flight deck is essential to safe operations, and one of the major reasons why air travel in the U.S. is the safest mode of transportation.
