How to Handle Fatigue 25:02

26 weeks ago25:02

25:02

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! This month, we are joined by Captain Jerry Schiffauer, who is the chair of our Fatigue Committee. Our schedules are always demanding, no matter the time of year, but winter storms and weather delays, along with holiday stress, and cold and flu season, mean winter is a prime time for pilots to become fatigued. Jerry is with us to discuss how and when to call out fatigued, how to file a fatigue report, and what he and the members of the Fatigue Committee have done and continue to do in order to make Piedmont Airlines safer. Also in this episode: - Remember to check your ALPA account to ensure you're receiving update emails and TextCaster text message updates! - When filling out an Incident Report, as required for specific events per the FOM, ALPA and the MEC recommend *not* using the option provided to generate an ASAP report directly from the Incident Report. It is recommended to file those reports completely separately, with different levels of detail in the information. Please contact a member of the Safety Committee with questions.…

This week, we have our third and final installment of our ALPA Board of Directors Meeting interviews. Captain Jason Ambrosi, the president of ALPA, International, was generous enough to take the time to meet with us and share his thoughts on ALPA’s successes over the first two years of his term, as well as what is on the horizon for the aviation industry moving forward. For those who might not know, Captain Ambrosi also hosts an ALPA podcast, the Air Line Pilot Podcast, focused on ALPA initiatives and the aviation industry. Air Line Pilot Podcast Thank you to everyone who has listened this year! I hope to continue to bring news and updates through this channel as we move into 2025.

ALPA-PAC and Government Affairs 16:59

16:59

Welcome back to part 2 of our ALPA Board of Directors special edition interviews. I had the opportunity to sit down with ALPA Director of Government Affairs, Elizabeth Baker, as well as the chair of our own Government Affairs Committee, Matt Chadwick, to discuss the role of ALPA and ALPA PAC in government and what pilots need to know about how your union is working for you. This interview was recorded in October, prior to the 2024 Presidential Election. ALPA has not endorsed a presidential candidate in many years, and did not in 2024. ALPA and ALPA-PAC firmly believe in working with all elected representatives who are willing and able to help protect and advance the causes of our pilots and the aviation industry. To quote directly from ALPA-PAC's website “ALPA-PAC is the most bipartisan labor PAC in the country. The PAC counts conservative Republicans, liberal Democrats, and moderates of all stripes among its greatest allies. Party and ideology are irrelevant to an individual’s support for pilot partisan causes. We are pilot partisan.” Also in this episode: - Holiday parties are December 16 (PHL) and December 17 (CLT). Review your MEC Update email dated 11/7 for details, and contact Davis.Bunting@alpa.org if you need to cancel, or would like to be added to the wait list. - Q4 CBTs are due 12/19 Please like and subscribe to our channel, and leave a 5 star review if you feel so inclined!
