ALPA Pilots to Picket Nationwide

01 September Demonstrations Planned at Major U.S. Airports

Determined to send a powerful message to America’s airline managers, the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) will be hosting a nationwide picket on 01 September 2022. The message is simple; it’s high-time airlines started prioritizing passengers and recognizing the extraordinary sacrifices made by overworked, under-rested flight-crews during the COVID madness.

ALPA pilots—standing in solidarity on the cusp of the Labor Day holiday weekend—will take up their picket-signs at twelve U.S. airports and call on airline brass to rectify the short-sightedness, greed, and buck-passing by which contemporary commercial air travel has been knowingly and purposefully reduced to a mayhem of protracted delays, brazen flight-cancellations, mask-mandates, wrongful imprisonments, brawls, lost luggage, and unrefunded fares.

By appealing to the indignity of air travelers wronged in droves by airlines that pocketed billions in federal bail-out funds, cut services to the quick, then posted record 2022 profits, ALPA has demonstrated a degree of circumspect cunning beyond the characteristically purview of labor unions.

Airline management—though inveterately inured to the gripes and demands of pilots and pilot unions—is utterly beholden to the flying public. ALPA’s nationwide picket stands to echo and amplify the flying public’s outrage, thereby imbuing the voices of a few thousand picketing pilots with the crushing heft of tens of millions of incensed air travelers.

ALPA pilots will congregate at: Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Las Vegas McCarran Airport (LAS), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), Orlando International Airport (MCO), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
