Pilot Retirement Age

The mandatory pilot retirement age should remain at 65. Attempts to increase it threaten airline safety.

Advocacy

Modernize Air Traffic Control

Outdated technology and aging infrastructure are putting strain on our airspace. It's time to invest in a safer, smarter, and more efficient ATC system.

Advocacy

Pilot Mental Health

Outdated aeromedical rules discourage pilots from seeking care for mental health. It's time to modernize the system.

Advocacy

Flight Deck Barriers

Flight deck barriers, including a secondary barrier, are critical to security on passenger and all-cargo aircraft.

Advocacy

Two Pilots on the Flight Deck

An airliner's strongest safety asset is at least two fully qualified, highly trained, and well rested pilots on the flight deck.

Advocacy

Pilot Training Standards

There is no pilot shortage. Airline executives cut services and compromise pilot training standards to save costs.

Leading the Charge for Keeping Skies Safe

Airliners are designed for more than one pilot on the flight deck because safety and operations require it. Yet some special-interest groups continue to push for reducing the flight crew on board large aircraft—possibly down to even a single pilot—to cut operational costs.

Watch how our relentless efforts continue to secure a safer and stronger future for airline pilots and the traveling public.

There is an old saying in Washington that if you aren't at the table, you're on the menu. By committing to being at the table anytime the safety or rights of pilots come up, ALPA is continuing a long and proud tradition that has helped make aviation the safest form of transportation in the world.
