Default Amerijet ALPA Drive

I just recently read this from my ALPA blast mail. Congratulations to you. I hope you take advantage of all that ALPA has to offer your pilot group.

AMERIJET PILOTS ELECT TO JOIN WORLD’S LARGEST PILOTS UNION

Last week, the National Mediation Board (NMB) certified the Air Line Pilots Association Int’l (ALPA) to be the bargaining representative for the more than 100 pilots of Amerijet International Airlines.

“The addition of Amerijet pilots’ voices will strengthen ALPA and allow us all to be more effective in advancing and promoting the airline pilot profession,” said ALPA president Capt. Joe DePete. “I am pleased to welcome yet another all-cargo airline to the largest pilots union in the world.”

Amerijet pilots are under a collective bargaining agreement that was reached in 2016 and are currently in the process of starting Section 6 negotiations. The certification of ALPA as the bargaining representative for Amerijet pilots allows them to begin a membership drive. It also entitles them to immediate access to the ALPA Worldwide Accident/Serious Incident Hotline.
Amerijet International is an all-cargo carrier that began operations in November 1974. The airline’s headquarters and its only base are in Miami, Fla. The airline currently has a fleet of 10 Boeing 767 freighters and flies routes throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America.
