01What it does

What Air Line Pilots Association International does

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to promote the interests of the airline piloting profession and to safeguard the rights, individually and collectively, of its members.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Collective bargaining: alpa is the collective bargaining agent for more than 78,000 airline pilots who make up 42 pilot groups in the united states and canada. In addition to negotiating labor contracts, it processes grievances, arbitrations, and other contract administration-related activities. The year 2024 was a busy period for collective bargaining, as the association was engaged in negotiations to amend, create, or implement collective bargaining agreements at several alpa carriers.

  2. Government affairs: as the voice of professional airline pilots, the association represents a pilot partisan agenda to congress and to many administrative agencies, including the department of transportation, federal aviation administration, department of state, department of homeland security, and transportation security administration. Key legislative issues for pilots in 2024 were the pending faa reauthorization legislation and the safety threat from the global push to remove pilots from the flight deck.

  3. Aviation safety: alpa maintains a network of hundreds of pilot volunteers, supported by more than two dozen staff professionals, organized into an extensive structure of local and national committees. Key safety issues in 2024 included: maintaining at least two pilots in the flight deck, aircraft certification, pilot fatigue, pilot mental health, pilot training and qualification, airport and runway safety, integration of unmanned aircraft and commercial space activities in the national airspace, various improvements to aviation security and pilot and passenger screening, safety management systems, and responding to and supporting accident investigations.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
