Volunteer Opportunities: Get Involved!
The strength of our union depends on your participation. We encourage you to reach out to a committee chair with questions or to offer your time as a volunteer.
Thank you to the many pilots who have already stepped forward! Your commitment is valued as we form more committees and expand our volunteer roster.
What Volunteers Do
Committee volunteers are essential for improving the Porter pilot group. You'll help respond to DARTs (Data Action Reports), execute various tasks, and coordinate with other ALPA pilot groups on national initiatives (like Flight Duty Regulations or Jumpseat).
The Appointment Process
Committee positions are appointed, not elected.
- The Porter MEC appoints the Committee Chairs.
- The MEC also appoints committee members, guided by the Chair.
- The MEC works with ALPA National Committee Chairs for appointments to industry-wide committees.
We look forward to seeing your commitment in action!
Nominations Open for Local Council Representatives
ALPA is currently accepting nominations for permanent representatives to serve on all three local councils. This is an opportunity for eligible Active members to declare their willingness to serve in these crucial volunteer leadership roles.
Elected representatives serve as the first point of contact for fellow pilots, addressing issues from grievances to scheduling. They automatically become members of the MEC and serve on ALPA's Board of Directors (BOD), integrating the local council into the union's larger governance structure.
For detailed information on the process, eligibility rules, and campaigning, read Wednesday’s MEC Update.
In unity,
Your Porter Airlines MEC
