PETITION TO PILOT UNIONS - ARM PILOTS OR STRIKE!
By KATHRYN A. GRAHAM - AFA TEXAS STATE DIRECTOR
To: Airline Pilot Unions
PETITION TO DEMAND A NATIONAL SUSPENSION OF AIRLINE SERVICE UNTIL AIRLINE PILOTS ARE ARMED
To: The unions representing the airlines operating and certificated under the rules of the Federal Aviation Administration. These unions include, but are not limited to: The Airline Pilots Association (ALPA), Allied Pilots Association (APA) and the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA)
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America and users of the national airspace system, being aware that the Bush Administration, Congress and the airlines have not created an effective program to select, train and arm airline pilots as a last line of defense against hijackings and terror acts on commercial aircraft, proclaim:
That United States interests, specifically US air carriers, are under continued threat from acts of terror.
The Bush Administration and the airlines are unable to prevent armed criminal access to commercial aircraft.
American citizens, flight crews and innocents on the ground continue to be exposed to the hazards of ineffective security and government policies that prevent qualified pilots from having the weapons to combat a hostile takeover of the flight deck.
The pilot unions have the authority and responsibility to the flying public to call for a national suspension of service until an unsafe situation is corrected.
DEMAND that the pilot unions initiate protest action including suspension of air service until an effective program to select, train and arm qualified airline pilots, is approved.
