abstract:Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, the Allied Pilots Association (APA) serves as the certified collective bargaining agent for all American Airlines pilots. APA was founded in 1963 by a group of American Airlines pilots who broke away from the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA).
Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the AlliedPilotsAssociation, which represents American pilots and backs a merger, said the cordial remarks should be viewed as a positive.
In its court filing, USAPA noted that the AlliedPilotsAssociation, which represents American pilots, and US Airways itself are being provided relevant information as part of the bankruptcy process.
