In this episode of the Straight & Level podcast, DFW 787 Captain Josie Wales discusses his experience serving on APA’s Board of Directors and the decisions that led to him collecting cards in the terminal. Listen to his perspective here.

“When our merger committee came back, and had the recommendation that we continue to discuss a merger with ALPA, the Board of Directors shut them down,” Wales said. “Basically we got 20 people that are sitting there saying that the pilots don’t have a right to get facts from ALPA and facts from APA to compare apples and oranges and to make an educated decision. At the end of the day, we need to get the facts. We need to make the decision. We’re a very intelligent group of people. And the Board of Directors is not allowing us to do this.”

Many long-time AA pilots are signing and collecting cards, passionate about pilots of American Airlines having an informed choice in representation.
