Pilots Peeved At Delays In Flight Deck Officer Program

Watch For Pickets

Because of recent media reports on new threats to airliners and the TSA’s potential security draw downs due to cost overruns, the Airline Pilots Security Alliance, the Coalition of Airline Pilots, the Allied Pilots Association, members of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association and other groups, as well as a large contingent of pilots, and interested political leaders, will hold simultaneous national press conferences on August 26 to protest the hamstringing of the Federal Flight Deck Officer program.

On August 26, at 1100 EDT the coalition will conduct simultaneous press conferences at seven airports, hoping to deliver what they say is a unified message, illustrating that professional pilots and pilot unions throughout the United States want the FFDO program fixed. A coalition news statement released to ANN says, "At the same time, we are coordinating a campaign to send our opinion to Washington and galvanize the industry and the public! We intend to use “Shock and Awe” to overwhelm those who would seek to thwart the FFDO program!
