Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to your union questions.

“I could see that unless we got a pilots’ association with real power, there wouldn’t be enough money in airline flying to make it worth my effort. I would have to go back to slipsticking at a desk, and I didn’t want that; I wanted to keep flying.”

Byron S. “Pop” Warner, one of the 24 “Key Men” who founded ALPA
