On June 5, the Canada Industrial Relations Board certified ALPA as the official representative of Keewatin Air pilots. You join more than 74,000 pilots at now 42 Canadian and U.S. airlines. Congratulations, and congratulations to the Keewatin ALPA Organizing Committee. The committee worked very hard and ran an extremely positive campaign. And they certainly demonstrated that they are pro-Keewatin, pro-pilot, and pro-ALPA!

Now that ALPA is Keewatin Air’s representative, we’ll establish an ALPA structure at Keewatin right away. The first step will be for ALPA’s vice president–administration/secretary, Capt. Tyler Hawkins, to appoint Keewatin pilots who will serve as temporary representatives. The names of those representatives will be shared immediately following their appointment, which will take place very soon.

The Keewatin pilots proved it is indeed your time! And now "It’s Time" for all Keewatin pilots to get to work and make your voices heard. Welcome aboard.

WHAT’S NEXT?

As a Keewatin Air pilot, ALPA’s services, resources, and benefits are now available! We want to make it as easy as possible for you to participate in your union.

Get Involved

ALPA is a member-driven, staff-supported organization. Keewatin Air pilots will set the group’s strategic goals, determine the course of action, and participate on MEC and ALPA committees, so we encourage you to participate in pilot group meetings and activities and consider serving on a committee. If you are interested in volunteering, e-mail your reps and let them know your areas of interest.
