Our pin is sacrosanct at the United Airlines Pilots. Tie to eye. We look at your tie to ensure you’re wearing the pin, then look you in the eyes. Not wearing your pin sends a very strong message (and not a good one). The pin is a sign of unity, solidarity, and homage to the past.

Representing the United Airlines Pilots at the Air Line Pilots Association Leadership Training Conference is always a pleasure. I have attended as a regional pilot in the past now now as a United ALPA pilot. The tools you take away from this experience are invaluable when it comes to preparing to lead.

Military helicopters are not required to continuously broadcast their speed, position, and altitude, so pilots can’t see that information on their flight display. Contact your member of Congress and ask them to close this dangerous loophole by co-sponsoring H.R. 6222! #ALPApilots

It takes 19 to 21 hours on a daily train to travel between Chicago and NYC, which is roughly the same distance as Beijing to Shanghai, a trip that takes only 4.5 hours by high-speed rail and runs 41 times a day in both directions. Our infrastructure is so far behind.

As the primary users of America's shared National Airspace Systems, Air Line Pilots Association agree, it's time for Congress to act now to modernize our nation's Air Traffic Control System. alpa.quorum.us/campaign/126388

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who became the leading voice of Black American aspirations after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and was the first African American to gain significant traction as a presidential candidate, died Tuesday. wapo.st/4aAcWG1

Pilot, Union volunteer, wedding officiant. There’s nothing we can’t do for our friends. I was happy to be there for my former Air Line Pilots Association EA and officiate his wedding. We wear different uniforms now 🔺/🌐, but lifelong bonds were formed during COVID-19 in the Envoy MEC office.

Last week the United Airlines Pilots Council 12 held a Family Awareness event for our Air Line Pilots Association and their families to come out and enjoy an evening of unity and socialization. We had over 100 people turn out! Thank you for spending your time with us!

Pilots need technology – called ADS-B In – that will allow them to see other aircraft to prevent accidents like what happened over the Potomac. The NTSB recommends it. Contact your member of Congress and ask them to close this dangerous loophole mandating ADS-B In for all

I am absolutely heartbroken over this. Aviation is an inherently dangerous business, and we do everything we can do to mitigate those dangers. I hope something like this ever happens again, and pray for all of my Air Line Pilots Association ALPA Canada and NATCA brothers and sisters. God bless

Today is my last flight as a #Boeing757 and #Boeing767 First Officer. I soon leave for captain training on the #Airbus fleet, where I started my United Airlines journey. I’ve been to #LHR more than any other airport and will miss this layover, but it’s time for a new adventure! #pilot

I just contacted my Senators and asked them to urge leadership to schedule S. 3257, the Mental Health in Aviation Act for a floor vote. Join me by contacting your Senators today and to seek quick action on this important measure! #alpapilots alpa.quorum.us/campaign/146504

What do four people from CO, MI, NJ, and PA have in common? We are all United Airlines pilots who met and became friends because of our work as Air Line Pilots Association conducting events for almost 2,000 new hires. I am so grateful that they were there to give me my Captain wings yesterday!
