100s of @UnitedPilots and fellow unionists came together today @flySFO for an informational picket. @United earnings report exceeded projections. It's time for United to take care of its employees. #WeAreALPA #1U #union #united @ALPAPilots @afa_cwa @iamairtransport @iam1782

Totally agree, thank you ALPA!
Very few people other than @CaptSully know firsthand the importance of having two fully-qualified & highly-trained pilots on the flight deck of every airline flight. I appreciate his continued strong voice & advocacy to ensure we keep our skies the world’s safest.

There are more than enough #pilots to meet U.S. airline demand. Contrary to the false narrative some are pushing about pilot supply, here’s what mainline airline chief executive officers have recently said about it. Learn more: https://t.co/aU5MNl3Ds9

When you’re an airline #pilot, no two days are the same. In this edition of “A Day in the Life”, read about ALPA @FedExPilots Captain @KandyBernsk’s experience flying cargo. #MotivationMonday

We know the benefits of technological advances, but we also know that cutting-edge technology must be carefully deployed with safety as the primary focus. We look forward to partnering with all stakeholders to safely roll out #5G technology. Learn more: https://t.co/wEwqjpHuRY

Two telecom company CEOs and an agency that has no history with #aviation safety think they know better than those who fly commercial airliners for a living. Hear from @ALPAPresident why #5G interference is a big deal for #pilots.

@SecretaryPete & @FAA_Steve are rightly defending U.S. leadership in aviation safety—and protecting passengers and shippers—by insisting that telecom companies ensure safety before launching new 5G service . . .” @ALPAPresident

Regulators do well to protect pilots and passengers from interference.

The only thing dysfunctional is the way the @FCC ignored safety concerns raised by @ALPAPilots & other aviation safety experts & gave @Verizon & @ATT a blank check, w/no regard for #SafeSkies. @FAANews, @USDOT & frontline aviation workers will determine when it’s safe to fly.
The FCC - the expert agency Congress charged with regulating the airwaves - set the C-Band rules for 5G years ago. Yet the Biden Admin just replaced them overnight with ones negotiated by...the DOT. I've never seen such a dysfunctional process - and I've been @FCC for 10 years.

“It’s going to prevent our pilots from being able to fly low visibility approaches which are going to cause more disruptions,” @ALPAPilots @ALPAPresident Joe DePete says on 5G interrupting various flight instruments and mechanisms. Full comments:

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: safety cannot take a back seat to corporate profit. We must work together to evaluate the risks of 5G deployment on aviation in order to keep workers and passengers safe.
ICYMI: Last week, Chair @RepPeterDeFazio reiterated the need to delay the deployment of 5G technologies until all risks are fully evaluated, saying, “we can’t afford to experiment with aviation safety.”

Thank you @SenatorCantwell for your leadership, bringing the stakeholders together working to resolve the issues!
“There are ways that 5G can be deployed while maintaining our high level of aviation safety.”@ALPAPresident. We remain ready to work on making #5G safe for everyone.

Today we once again called on the mobile wireless industry to work with the #aviation community on implementing mitigations that will ensure an equivalent level of safety by protecting against radio altimeter interference. More: https://t.co/xe2IZKWqU8
