Dépèche transmise le 2 avril 2009 par Business Wire
FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Allied Pilots Association (APA), certified collective bargaining agent for the 11,500 pilots of American Airlines (NYSE: AMR), issued the following statement regarding the nomination of airline industry veteran Captain J. Randolph “Randy” Babbitt to serve as the next administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA):
“We are pleased with the White House’s selection of Captain Babbitt to serve as FAA Administrator. As a longtime airline pilot and labor leader, Captain Babbitt will bring a valuable perspective to this critical government function. Given the many serious challenges confronting our industry—including dysfunctional labor-management relations, antiquated pilot flight time-duty time regulations and the need to upgrade the air traffic control system—we are hopeful that the U.S. Senate will promptly confirm Captain Babbitt. APA stands ready to help him move our industry forward for the good of all concerned.”
That is the full text of APA’s statement.
