Flightcrew members across North America know the benefits of being represented by the world’s largest pilot union. In Canada, pilots from Air Transat, Bearskin, Calm Air, Canadian North, First Air, Jazz Aviation, Kelowna Flightcraft, and Wasaya are active ALPA advocates for aviation safety and security.

ALPA pilots are committed to improving issues that affect the Canadian aviation sector. Last fall, the elections in Canada resulted in a unique opportunity to help create a better business environment and improve the overall state of the industry. In December, some of those recently elected representatives, as well as established government representatives and industry stakeholders, gathered in Ottawa for an annual ALPA event, which gave us a perfect opportunity to discuss our upcoming priorities in Canada with key officials. 

By working with our elected representatives, ALPA continues our efforts to advance the safest, most secure, and thriving air transportation system possible and advocate for our members’ interests on Parliament Hill. ALPA’s Leadership Role in Canada is highlighted this month by Canada Board president Capt. Dan Adamus in Air Line Pilot magazine. 

Now more than ever, it’s important that the pilot voice be heard. ALPA pilots throughout North America are engaged and ready to advance policy solutions that help strengthen aviation safety, create a better business environment and improve the overall state of the industry. This year, we look forward to redoubling our efforts across North America, including with the new Canadian government, in order to advance our members' goals.
