Jack’s labor relations experience includes a multitude of positions with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). During his time with US Airways he served as Chairman of the US Airways Pilots Strike Preparedness Committee, Chairman of the Communications Committee (where he was lead media spokesman for US Airways second bankruptcy), System Board member, member of the Merger Committee, member of ALPA’s Education Committee, Local Council Chairman and Chairman of the US Airways Master Executive Council during the merger with America West Airlines. He was also instrumental in establishing the Family Awareness Program at US Airways as well as helping develop ALPA’s “Pilot to Pilot” program, a grass roots internal organizing program.
Sounds like a good background. Sucks that next month they can't meet but its not like they would agree on anything anyways. Woulda been a nice christmas present if they did though
