United Airlines Pilots to picket at 10 Airports on Friday, May 12

After more than four years of empty promises, United Airlines Pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), will conduct a ten-city nationwide informational picket Friday, May 12, 2023. Thousands of United Pilots will uniformly express their frustration in management’s failure to recognize the value pilots bring to the overall success of the airline. United Pilots were there for customers during one of the worst times for travel in recent history, and they also helped United Airlines emerge from the pandemic stronger than before. Now United Pilots want to help take United to the next level with the United Next growth plans. United Pilots are asking management to help complete a contract with modernized work rules that not only allow and encourage this growth, but also continue to attract the best pilots in the industry.

“Thousands of United Pilots are picketing coast-to-coast today to deliver management a message they cannot ignore; enough is enough,” said United ALPA Master Executive Council (MEC) chair Capt. Garth Thompson. “We have been stuck with an antiquated scheduling system and a contract nowhere near industry-leading standards. We want United to succeed as industry leaders, and every day that passes without an agreement, is another day the best and brightest future aviators go elsewhere.”
