Air Line Pilot Podcast

The annual Air Safety Forum is the pinnacle of ALPA’s work to protect aviation safety and security, and ALPA president, Capt. Jason Ambrosi caught up with First Vice President and National Safety Coordinator, Capt. Wendy Morse and Aviation Security Chair Capt. Wolfgang Koch to discuss this year’s forum. With the rise in unruly passengers, Capt. Koch discussed the need to strengthen flight deck protections and other security priorities, and Capt. Morse discussed runway safety, the threat of reduced crew operations, and other pressing topics from this year’s forum. 

ALPA has long been at the forefront of strengthening aviation safety—as the largest non-governmental aviation safety organization in the world— and in a conversation with ALPA president, Jason Ambrosi, Aviation Safety Chair, Capt. Steve Jangelis shares ALPA’s role in accident investigations, crafting regulations, and pilot training.  As Congress continues the work to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, Jangelis and Ambrosi discuss ALPA’s wins in recent years, and what they’re focused on this year.

Every year, ALPA members and aviation enthusiasts flock to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture. We talked with ALPA volunteers and pilot leaders about their experience at Oshkosh, how ALPA engages with our members there, and what we’re doing to inspire the next generation of airline pilots.  

Six months into his term as ALPA president, Capt. Jason Ambrosi sits down with the Air Line Pilot Podcast to discuss his time in office. In the interview Ambrosi discussed the progress made during his first six months, the fight over the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill on Capitol Hill, and ongoing work to strengthen aviation safety.
