“One of the things I’ve talked to [Rep.] Bill Shuster [R-Pa.] about extensively is this cannot ever happen again, at least not under our watch.” —remarked House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank LoBiondo on the two-week FAA shutdown in 2011, speaking before the Aero Club of Washington on March 25, 2014

“The Emirates route provides no additional benefit for travelers, who are already well served by Italian and U.S. carriers between Milan and New York, and could significantly harm U.S. and Italian airline employees by adding unneeded capacity on an already- competitive market.” —responded Delta Air Lines on April 10, 2014, regarding the decision by the Italian court that the Italian Civil Aviation Authority improperly granted permission to Emirates Airline to operate nonstop service between Milan and John F. Kennedy Airport in New York

“There shouldn’t be any more of a Fly America Act than a Fly China Act.” —commented Chairman and CEO of FedEx Corporation Fred Smith, replying to a question about his position on the Fly America Act, which requires those who fly on U.S. government business to do so on U.S. airlines

“AFA [Association of Flight Attendants] remains firmly opposed to any business model that targets the employment security of flight attendants and aviation workers. AFA has been working closely with fellow crewmembers to call attention to NAI’s [Norwegian Air International] scheme to contract out pilot and cabin crew jobs, and we continue to call upon DOT Secretary Foxx to carefully review NAI’s application for a foreign air carrier permit.” —said AFA International President Veda Shook, Association of Flight Attendants-CWA on April 9, 2014

18 Air Line Pilot May 2014 Every day each of us faces challenges and choices. The choices we make and how we address challenges—big and small—define us. As you’ll see in the following pages, in Washington, D.C., and Ottawa, we are facing threats from all sides. Those challenges—and how we choose to respond—will define your future. Since the introduction of our pilot- partisan agenda, ALPA has positioned itself for success in the legislative and regulatory arena in Washington, Ottawa, and on the world stage. However, that success depends on you. In an era of “do nothing” Congresses, your choice must be to do something. The challenges are real. The choice is up to you. Get informed. Get engaged. Be a pilot partisan. Turn the page to learn how.

Fly America Act Under the Fly America Act, the U.S. government “shall take necessary steps to ensure” that a U.S. airline is used to carry U.S. government traffic on international flights to or from the U.S. when a U.S. airline is available. The General Services Administration (GSA) administers government travel contracts under the act, and disputes concerning GSA’s decisions are heard by the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) agency head. As the GAO found, Congress was motivated to pass the Fly America Act “to help improve the economic and competitive position of the U.S. flag carriers against the foreign air carriers.” While the AG O has permitted U.S. airlines to operate Fly America services through code shares with their foreign partners, the U.S. airline partner should “receive a substantial portion of the revenue” and must “not act as a mere booking agent on behalf of the foreign partner.” In 2013, National Air Cargo (NAC), a U.S. charter airline, sought to partner with Emirates to carry Fly America traffic from the U.S. to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Afghanistan and submitted a bid to the GSA to do so. At the same time, NAC applied to the Department of Transportation (DOT) for

authority to engage in the code share and for scheduled authority. Because NAC on planned to provide the GSA services almost completely by placing its designa- tor code on Emirates (with NAC flying only the Dubai to Afghanistan legs with a n Fe t its own metal), the NAC-Emirates relationship appeared to be a “rent-a-code”

arrangement designed to circumvent the goal of Fly America. At the DOT, ALPA W ikim e di a— Ry and several U.S. airlines challenged NAC’s fitness to operate the code share with Emirates. The DOT matter is pending. Meanwhile, the GSA decided to terminate NAC’s contract in its entirety and re-award the flying toU nited and other U.S. airlines. ALPA continues to fight to make sure that the letter and spirit of the Fly America Act is upheld. The Association expects that rent-a-code schemes like this one will continue to surface and will be there to argue forcefully against them. 22 Air Line Pilot May 2014 ByFrom Al Ogilvie, ALPA LegalAtop and Government Parliament Affairs Hill Specialist Commons, but at that time the House had been temporar- n Canada, ALPA’s Government Affairs ily suspended so the bill could not be officially received. team works to promote pilots’ interests Therefore, it returned to the last completed stage in the on Parliament Hill to advance the safest House (third reading) and was referred back to the Senate as if the amendments had not been made.

ALPA expresses gratitude to the more than 100 members of Congress and senators who have taken a stand against Norwegian Air International’s “flag-of-convenience” business practice that would not only undermine U.S. labor standards, but would also threaten tens of thousands of U.S. airline jobs. These members of Congress have listened to the voices of ALPA pilots and told DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx to #DenyNAI.

Today, with well-financed opponents Sfighting against us at every turn, ALPA-PAC is more important than ever. This is why the PAC has set a goal of exceeding $1.4 million in receipts for 2014, which would be ALPA-PAC’s best year ever. With the support of every U.S. ALPA member, we are poised to reach this goal and set our sights even higher in 2015.

28 Air Line Pilot May 2014 What Is ALPA-PAC? ALPA-PAC is just a bank account. The PAC gathers voluntary contributions from ALPA members into one place, allowing ALPA to compete against our well-financed competitors. With that money, ALPA is able to have a political voice, educating decision-makers, and building the relationships we need to win in Washington, D.C. No dues money can go toward this purpose, so it is vitally important that all U.S. ALPA members participate in the PAC to make sure we have the resources we need to defend our industry and our careers.

In 2013, ALPA-PAC officially became the most bipartisan labor union PAC in the country. More than 40 percent of ALPA-PAC’s support went to Republicans, compared to just 12 percent at the average labor union PAC. Our pilot-partisan approach to the PAC enables us to create victories for our members no matter who the majority party is in Washington.

ALPA Pilots Work to Prevent Preclearance Expansion Posted on April 4, 2014

As the House and Senate begin work on their respective FY15 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill, ALPA is calling on legislators to restrict DHS’s plans to expand Customs and Border Protection preclearance sites to locations overseas that provide no benefit to U.S. airlines or passengers.

European Parliament Votes Against Expansion of EU ETS Posted on April 3, 2014

Today, the European Parliament voted to end its plans to expand its carbon-taxing scheme to U.S. and other international flights that enter EU airspace. ALPA applauds the European Parliament for allowing work to continue on a global solution to aviation emissions. ALPA has long opposed the imposition of the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) on U.S. airlines. The sole purpose of the EU ETS was to increase general revenues for EU countries while costing U.S. jobs and doing nothing to reduce emissions from aviation.

Senate Leaders Take the #DenyNAI Message to DOT Secretary Posted on March 13, 2014

On March 12, a bipartisan group of Senate leaders sent a letter to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Anthony Foxx, urging the secretary to carefully consider the ramifications and legality of granting Norwegian Air International’s (NAI) request for a foreign air carrier permit. ALPA applauds Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), and Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) for their leadership in spearheading this letter and for taking a stand against NAI’s “flag of convenience” business practice that would not only undermine U.S. labor standards, but would also threaten tens of thousands of U.S. airline jobs.
