Right now ALPA and several aviation labor groups are working hard to preserve as many jobs as possible by asking for a “clean” extension of the CARES Act Payroll Support Program and furlough protections until March 31, 2021. United Airlines, along with Airlines for America (A4A) support this effort as well.
Step 1
Send your Call-to-Action message to your Member of Congress. Your Legislative Affairs team will be strongly advocating on your behalf, but the most influential factor to your Representative is constituent input (especially in an election year).
Don’t delay – act today:
Step 2
Forward this article to friends and family, and ask them to complete the Call-to-Action as well.
Aero Crew News, Aero Crew Solutions, ALPA and all of your aviation friends thank you for your support in this critical time of need.
I hope the airlines don’t get a 2nd bailout from taxpayer dollars. I’m for saving jobs but the airlines should have enough money saved up and if they don’t because of mismanaging money that’s not my problem as a tax payer.
U must feel the same way when the auto industry was in trouble
As a retired f/a (United) remember how this country felt after 9/11. This is ten times worse. Pay now and help get this country on its feet or pay later
Name one business that can lose 80% revenue for 6 months and come out ok.
Even in time of. Pandemic. Pilot s and Gas are given special attention that they will be furloughed. How about ordinary workers who already lost their jobs.
Save jobs
