Wash. D.C. - Whatever it takes to get around DC... Scooter-ing down the middle of Pennsylvania Ave.

All professional pilots need to be aware of the exigent threat that "flag-of-convenience" type air carriers pose to the future of the US aviation industry. Call your representatives in congress and demand they support the "Fair and Open Skies Act." washingtonpost.com/local/traffica…

The RLA as a statute was designed to neuter labor power in the first place. After many years of corporate-friendly courts, it has strangled even the ability of unions to communicate with their members. The RLA needs to be revised or dumped. We are ready.

Well done piece by CNBC which lays out how the Amazon supply chain works and how it has had a deleterious effect on small business and American workers - and in the case of our airlines, made them less safe. #AmazonPlanesNeedPilotsToDeliver cnb.cx/32uhx8T

Great piece by my Representative Ted Lieu (CA33) Ted Lieu Well said. Opinion | I have served in the Air Force and in Congress. People still tell me to ‘go back’ to China. wapo.st/2LWelxg?tid=ss…

Strength in numbers. The 100K + airline pilots of CAPA Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations and ALPA Follow us at @ALPAPilots join forces to put an end to the flight and duty time regulations (FAR117) "cargo-carve-out" once and for all.

Another hot summer day in the Nation’s Capital. Four separate LU1224 activities ongoing in the city... But for now, UAL brothers fly me to ORD and LAX for my next operating flight.

U.S. corporations are inculcated with the idea that they must fight and undermine their workers unions -- that's bad for their employees, un-American, and ultimately bad for business. Good article by Steven Greenhouse America Is Rigged Against Workers nyti.ms/2OEDtvn

Donald Trump is right--the system is rigged. The system is very much rigged against the American worker. But the problem is that Trump, the GOP & Corporate America are in many ways pushing to rig things further against American workers. nytimes.com/2019/08/03/opi…

Grateful to have the support of Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations, a trade association that represents roughly 30,000 pilots and many pilots unions. Their expertise, led by their President Captain Larry Rooney, was invaluable.

SFO - Thanks Capt. Yonathan Asmerom (far right) for representing Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations, ⁦Teamsters⁩, and Atlas pilots helping ⁦Mark DeSaulnier⁩ (great friend of the Teamster’s) introduce the Safe Landings Act” (HR 4166). CAPA and Teamster’s — always safety first.

Safety can no longer be defined solely as the absence of accidents. The Safe Landings Act is a proactive means to improve the safety of all who fly. bit.ly/2YZvg4H via San Francisco Chronicle Matthias Gafni Mark DeSaulnier

Right on brothers and sisters!
