Some people are saying one pilot is enough. That’s like saying one wing is enough. Air travel in the U.S. is the safest mode of transportation because there are always two pilots on the flight deck.

I had the privilege of joining my fellow pilots from Air Canada along with pilots from numerous other carriers in Montreal on Tuesday for a massive demonstration of solidarity in support of Air Canada’s pilots fight for the world-class contract they have earned. Air Canada pilots and all ALPA pilots are showing the power of workers like us to raise the bar on quality of life, compensation, and safety for all workers. We made it clear that Air Canada Pilots are united, committed, and serious about negotiating a new contract.
Today, Air Canada pilots are holding a national informational picket across Canada to show management that this pilot group is united to secure a contract that reflects the value we bring to Air Canada. #StrikeReady #alpapilots #YVR #YYZ #YUL #YWG Aujourd’hui, les pilotes d’Air Canada organisent un piquetage informatif national à travers le Canada pour démontrer leur solidarité à la direction. #PrêtsPourLaGrève

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 is a pivotal achievement for aviation safety and includes numerous provisions we've championed. This landmark legislation wouldn’t have been possible without our pilot advocates' dedication and Capitol Hill support. https://bit.ly/3AFCymV

Proudly serving as the Vice President-Administration-Secretary at the largest pilots' union in the world.
It’s been said that behind every successful person is a mentor who believed in them. ALPA’s founders embraced this idea on a larger scale, recognizing that by working together and pooling their resources, all of the Association’s pilots could benefit from the knowledge and experience found within a single union. The premise that we’re stronger together continues to be an organizational rallying cry, and the need for mentoring has never been more important.
