Peer Support – APA Teamsters Local 2118

Allegiant Pilots,

As you are aware, late Wednesday night, there was a devastating midair collision between a PSA CRJ and an Army Blackhawk helicopter over the Potomac River while the CRJ was on final approach into Reagan National in Washington, D.C.

Our hearts and prayers are with all those involved in this tragic incident.

This is a small industry. We understand that yesterday’s accident may have involved someone you knew personally, and that even if it didn’t, it still has the potential to stir up emotions. Please understand that mixed thoughts and feelings are completely normal in a time like this. To that end, we remind you that the Union’s Peer2Peer/CIRP Committee offers peer support for our pilots.

If you would like to speak with someone, we encourage you to reach out to a member of the Peer2Peer/CIRP Committee. You can reach the committee via email at CIRP@apa2118.org or reach out to us individually at the following numbers:

Liana Hart
