Air Line Pilots Association, International
[8] In 1933, the decision by the National Labor Board to limit the flight time for pilots and co-pilots to 85 hours a month was the result of the union's first major lobbying campaign to make the skies safer.[9] In the 1940s, numerous ALPA pilots enlisted in the military to help the United States battle the Axis powers during World War II.In this era, crew fatigue became a greater concern for pilots, with the union successfully persuading the Civil Aeronautics Board to stop airlines from scheduling impractical flights.[11] The Southern Airways strike of 1960–62, a conflict that ALPA winningly took on in a dispute over pilot wages, is the longest walkout in the union's history.After another tragic 1994 crash, of American Eagle Flight 4184, a study of icing issues with the ATR 72 commenced, an inquiry ALPA was closely involved with.[17] ALPA has lobbied against attempts to rescind the "1,500-hour rule", which requires that pilots for commercial airlines must log 1,500 hours of flying before they can get their license.[18][19] Critics of the rule say it is arbitrary and not based on scientific data, as well as raises the costs and time for prospective pilots to obtain certification.[22] In July 2023, after four years of negotiations, a new labor deal was struck for United Airlines pilots, valued at $10 billion over the contract life.[23] In September 2024, a strike was averted with Air Canada pilots after a new labor deal was struck which was valued at $1.9 billion over a four-year contract life.
