About USAPA

USAPA stands for US Airline Pilots Association. We are a union comprised of 5200 mainline pilots that fly for US Airways. We formed our union based on the principles of democracy, transparency and free thought. We strive to create an environment where our pilots have all the tools needed to focus on the efficiency and safety of each of their flights.

Organizationally, USAPA is governed by our Board of Pilot Representatives. Our Board is elected by our pilots from the individual pilot domiciles throughout our mainline US Airways system.

Our Mission

USAPA’s mission is to ensure safe flights for our passengers by guaranteeing that their lives are in the hands of only the most qualified, competent and well-equipped pilots. USAPA will fight against any practices that may jeopardize our pilots’ training, equipment, workplace environment, compensation or work/life balance, or compromise our pilots’ ability to execute the optimal flight.
