Allied Pilots Association (APA) Spokesman Capt. Dennis Tajer joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the airline industry’s pilot shortage, which has led to an increased number of “fatigue calls,” when pilots call off because they are too tired to fly safely. He also spoke about a potential merger between the APA and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), plus the impact of a recently negotiated contract win by Delta employees.
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 756 Business Manager/ Financial Secretary Matt Nelson appeared on the AWF Union Podcast and discussed the increased prevalence of IBEW members at NASA and other space companies.
