2025 Q1 Professional Standards Committee Update

/by

Your Professional Standards committee would like to take the time to first thank its volunteers. Working in a Union position can often be challenging and mainly done behind the scenes so very few get to see just how hard our Committee members are working for their fellow pilots. A Union will only be as strong as the people who volunteer make it. And those of you that are volunteering, we commend your efforts. I encourage all of our pilots to express this message.

  1. As stated this has been a busy year for your Prostandards Committee. On top of our normal workload we have branched out to help with our Fatigue program and Instructor Pilots. First Officer Nick Bordes has also joined our team to help assist with any issues or challenges our International Pilots May be having. If you are an International Pilot and having issues please feel free to reach out to Nick either directly or through our prostandards@apa2118.org email.
  2. This year and the past have been especially trying for our pilot group. We implore you to maintain professionalism and be respectful of our fellow pilots and other work groups regardless of what is going on around you. Control what you can control. If you are having an issue with someone or something from another workgroup we strongly encourage you to file and AirSMS. Too often reports are filed from one side and our pilots are left out to dry. The AirSMS can help explain scenarios in greater detail and help avoid one sided understandings.
  3. It has come to our attention that pilots have been changing their names in the CrewMobile app. While pilots changing from a formal name to a preferred one is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. We need to make sure that we are keeping it Professional as this is an important tool for our crew members in identifying their fellow crew-members.
