Our Air Safety Organization (ASO) provides comprehensive year-round training courses to help aviation professionals stay ahead in safety practices and regulatory standards.
ALPA policy requires that prior to attending any ASO training course, you must obtain the approval of the chair of your your Master Executive Council (MEC) Central Air Safety, Security, Jumpseat, or Pilot Assistance committee, or your MEC chair as appropriate. Additionally, the training courses are designed to be taken in sequence, therefore may require completing a prerequisite training program(s). By submitting your registration, you verify that you have:
Received the necessary MEC approval, as appropriate for you to attend the course, and
Have met that course’s prerequisites.
If you don't know who to contact to obtain MEC approval for you to attend, call 888-FLY-ALPA or email ALPA.
