ALPA not for industrial action

Mumbai: After over 2,000 airline pilots from across the country came together under one umbrella body called the Air Line Pilot’s Association (ALPA), the association announced that its objective was not to threaten airline managements.
Speaking on the key objectives of the pilots’ body, a senior ALPA member said that its primary aim was to capitalise on the vast technical resources available with the pilots which would be aimed solely at improving air safety.
The formation of ALPA was made possible following an agreement between erstwhile Air India’s Indian Pilots’ Guild (IPG), erstwhile Indian Airlines’ Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), Jet Airways’ Society for Welfare of Indian Pilots (SWIP) and Kingfisher Airlines’ Integrated Pilots Welfare Association (IPWA) to make the umbrella organisation.
