The Landing: Nearly 1,100 Years

The professional staff of the Air Line Pilots Association, International is the best in the business, and the Association prides itself on the service that its more than 300 experienced employees provide daily to the union’s pilots in the United States and Canada.

As part of ALPA’s recent All Hands on Deck meeting, the Association recognized those staff members celebrating milestone anniversaries—5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years—with ALPA during its annual Pin Awards ceremony. The combined experience level of the 2016 Pin Awards honorees totaled nearly 1,100 years. That’s 65 employees spending virtually 390,550 days, or 562,392,000 hours, serving ALPA members.

The Association congratulates this group for its hard work and dedication to advancing the U.S. and Canadian airline piloting profession.
