	AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION
		ALPA believes that the FFDO program provides a great deterrence against future attempted hijackings that is not as dependent upon the number of armed pilots as it is their covertness, training, professionalism, and other important attributes.
		ALPA agrees that the primary mission of a commercial aircraft’s cockpit crew is the safe operation of the flight, and that no FFDO traveling in the cockpit of a passenger aircraft should leave its confines to respond to a disturbance in the cabin.
		ALPA recommends that, similar to the requirement placed upon employers of military reservists and national guardsmen to grant them leave from their positions to serve in defense of their country, airlines should also be required to grant pilots leave from work to obtain FFDO training.

	[345 NLRB No. 51] Air Line Pilots Association, 9-CC-1660
		ALPA filed the unfair labor practice charge against Ross Aviation, at least in part, to protect its status as the labor organization that was the exclusive bargaining representative pursuant to the Act of the Ross employees.
		McCormick in that ALPA represents both statutory and nonstatutory employees, ALPA is (allegedly) engaged in secondary activity against a neutral employer (DHL Holdings) that is subject to the Act, and it’s primary dispute is with ABX, an employer subject to the RLA, whose employees are not employees under the Act.
		Rather, ALPA argues that despite its object in filing the grievance and counterclaim, the scope clause in the collective-bargaining agreement it seeks to enforce is a valid attempt to preserve work for its members, thus taking it out of the secondary boycott prohibitions of the statute.

	Air Line Pilots Association
		ALPA is usually granted "interested party" status in most major airline accidents, which means that ALPA accident investigators assist National Transportation Safety Board staff at the on-site investigations and participate in the ensuing public hearings.
		ALPA has initiated or participated in most of the numerous safety improvements over the years that have made U.S. airline travel the safest mode of transportation.
		Each pilot group is governed by its Master Executive Council, composed of the two or three elected representatives from each of the pilot group's Local Councils (which are located in the airline's major domiciles).

		Huttinger was unqualified to represent ALPA in the negotiation of the "Pilots' Agreement." Huttinger had been placed on "sick" status by TACA, and according to the pilots, under the Constitution and By-Laws of ALPA, a pilot classified as "sick" was not permitted to hold an office within the union.
		ALPA and TACA filed motions to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgment, contending that the DFR/breach of contract claim was barred by the applicable six-month statute of limitations and that the pilots had failed to state a claim for relief under ERISA.
		Pilots have not alleged or provided any proof which would tend to show that defendants [25] actively concealed their conduct or that the pilots** exercised reasonable diligence, from that time until less than six months before they filed suit, in order to learn of their legal claims.
