Government Affairs

Pilots need a strong, unified, and well-respected voice in our nations capital, and ALPA is that voice. ALPA comes complete with a full-service Government Affairs Department that includes a team of lobbyists working every day to protect your interests, future, and livelihood.

In its 30 years of existence, this team has developed relationships with members of Congress, congressional and committee staffers, and other government officials who make decisions that directly affect your career. ALPA has earned its position as the spokesperson in Washington, D.C., for professional airline pilots.

ALPA pilots garner powerful influence with the nations' political community through a powerful political action committee, called ALPA-PAC, which helps elect pro-pilot members of Congress who support the union's legislative agenda. ALPA-PAC has raised nearly $2 million over the past two years, and those resources have backed nearly 320 pilot-friendly candidates in the House and Senate from both sides of the aisle.
