Like You, Your Fellow Members of the Air Line Pilots Association Like you, your fellow members of the Air Line Pilots Association, International have aimed aluminum at a runway thousands of times, watched the rabbit disappear into the fog, kicked out the crab in the touchdown zone, and done the thousand little and big things you do to convert kerosene into passenger seat miles or cargo ton miles. They’ve also elected their local executive council and master executive council reps, voted tentative agreements up or down, and used ALPA’s resources, credibility, and clout to make the airline industry more competitive, more secure, and ever safer. Many of their issues are your issues, too, so please take the time to read the profiles included within the next 32 pages, including your own.
