Your Current Union Stewards:

  • FLL – Captain Hansel Duran

  • AVL – Captain Byron Girmscheid

  • AVL – Captain Jesse Peek

  • FNT – Captain Jason Johnston

  • PGD – Captain Kevin Leach

  • LAS – Captain Ryan Joseph

  • BNA – Captain Richie Mercado

  • ATW – Captain Dean Rodgers

  • VPS – Captain Brad Keller

  • PVU – Captain Greg Harris

How We Support You

  • We meet weekly with union leadership and maintain active communication to stay aligned on pilot concerns.

  • If you have questions about union matters, a steward is your best first contact—and if we don’t have the answer, we’ll connect you with the right committee.

  • If you are notified of a Section 18 disciplinary hearing, a steward will represent you at the hearing.

Avoid Preventable Discipline

To protect yourself, take note of these key reminders:
✅ Missed Assignments – Update your Crew Services contact ringtone to “Emergency Bypass” so it rings even when on Do Not Disturb or vibrate.
✅ CBT Deadlines – Complete all required CBTs on time.
✅ Aircraft Issues – If you report an issue or have an exceedance (vibration, bird strike, fume event, minor flap overspeed), ensure an M300 logbook entry is completed.
✅ Medical Certificate – Upload your medical certificate to Prodefis before the due date. If delayed, notify your Chief Pilot by the 25th of the month.
✅ Team Member Handbook – Review it, as it is increasingly cited in disciplinary hearings.
