James has been in the airline industry for over 10 years. He’s had a productive career thus far and has always sought after the best interest of his fellow pilots. Shortly after graduating from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Prescott), James was hired at SkyWest Airlines in 2000. When he left SkyWest after seven years of service, he was a designated examiner for the airline on the CRJ. This appointment afforded him interaction with many furloughed United Airlines pilots who received jobs at SkyWest after September 11, 2001. It was from these relations that James developed a knowledge base on furloughs and the encouragement to BIOGR help furloughed pilots. It was also from these dealings as well as from being a commuter for 10 years that James is an avid jumpseat advocate. Upon leaving SkyWest, James was hired at Continental as a 737 first officer in Newark, where he immediately allowed his enthusiasm to guide him to become an active member of CAL ALPA. James is adamant about the rights, rules, and regulations of jumpseating and uses this passion toward his position on the CAL MEC Jumpseat Committee and as the vice chair of the ALPA National Jumpseat Committee. James is still dedicated to and most proud of his work as CAL MEC furlough program coordinator. He is also on the CAL MEC Security Committee. James lives in Prescott, Arizona, with his wife and fellow Continental Airlines pilot, Lauren. Captain Brent Black Continental Airlines
