PSA Airlines Flight Simulator Instructors

PSA-MSS Vote Yes for TWU

The Air Division represents members at multiple air carriers including Air Wisconsin, Alaska, Allegiant Air, American, Envoy, Frontier, FSI, Hawaiian, Horizon, JetBlue, Kalitta, PSA, Republic, Southwest, Spirit, Sun Country, and UPS. In addition, the Air Division has oversight for members at several U.S. government facilities, including Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, and the NASA Kennedy Space Center. The Air Division also represents members at Allied, KLM, Swissport, World Flight Services, and several other smaller facilities. The Air Division recently secured representation for the Flight Dispatchers at Omni Air.

We are proud to have the trust of our members and continue to fight for the best contacts in the industry. The Air Division represents nearly every class and craft in the aviation industry: including aircraft mechanics, dispatch, facilities and ground support mechanics, fleet service, flight attendants, flight crew training instructors, flight simulator engineers, and stores members. Our non-airline locals continue to thrive and grow, adding members in dozens of different skills on government installations and private entities all over the United States.

The Transport Workers Union of America is organizing flight simulator instructors at PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines. Flight simulator instructors at the regional airline based in Dayton, Ohio overwhelmingly filed for union recognition with the National Mediation Board on Wednesday.

“The TWU continues to grow its airline ranks and is excited to work with PSA flight instructors for a contract that advances the economic security for workers and their families,” said TWU International President John Samuelsen. “We look forward to a successful outcome with the National Mediation Board and negotiating a first contract for flight simulator instructors.”

The TWU represents flight simulator instructors at American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Envoy Air. These highly skilled workers are crucial for training professional airline pilots.

The National Mediation Board will set a date for an election and a majority vote will allow the TWU to negotiate an initial contract. The National Mediation Board is an independent U.S. government agency that handles labor relations with the airline and railroad industries under the Railway Labor Act.

The TWU recently negotiated successful contracts for Flight Attendants at Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Airlines, along with Ramp, Operations, Provisioning and Freight Agents at Southwest Airlines. These agreements secured significant wage increases and industry-first paid leave provisions for workers caring for newborn children.
