| Program Service Activity #1 | Form 990, Part III, Line 4a Collective Bargaining: ALPA is the collective bargaining agent for 51,900 airline pilots and professional flight engineers who make up 30 pilot groups in the United States and Canada. In addition to negotiating labor contracts, it processes grievances, arbitrations, and other contract administration-related activities. The year 2015 was a busy period for collective bargaining, as the association was engaged in negotiations to amend, create, or implement collective bargaining agreements at several ALPA carriers. Program Service Activity #2 Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Government Affairs: As the voice of professional airline pilots, the association represents a pilot partisan agenda to Congress and to many administrative agencies, including the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Department of State, Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration. Key legislative issues for pilots in 2015 included the enforcement of Open Skies agreements and stopping flag of convenience operations in aviation; promoting safety in the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration by advocating for full regulation of the air shipment of lithium batteries as dangerous goods, secondary cockpit barriers, maintaining safety regulations, and safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS); and funding for TSA security programs such as the Federal Flight Deck Officer program. Program Services Activity #3 Form 990, Part III, Line 4c Aviation Safety: ALPA maintains a network of hundreds of pilot volunteers, supported by approximately two dozen staff professionals, organized into an extensive structure of local and national committees. Key safety issues in 2015 included: pilot fatigue, pilot training and qualification, airport and runway safety, various improvements to aviation security and pilot and passenger screening, safety management systems, and the results of key accident investigations. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D Publications: The union's magazine, Air Line Pilot, is published 10 times per year with a circulation of about 74,000 copies, mostly to members and retired pilots. Its content is a mixture of union news, industry trends, and technical safety and security-related information. Most of ALPA's 30 pilot groups including their individual local councils, publish and distribute both paper and e-mail newsletters with news and information of interest to their pilots. The association occasionally publishes specialized newsletters on matters of urgent interest and also maintains an extensive website that carries news, announcements, and general information on both publically accessible homepage and a "member only" portion of the website. Consolidated Financial Statements FORM 990, PART IV, LINE 12 As the organization and its subsidiaries meet the GAAP requirements for consolidation, the organization received consolidated audited financial statements for the year in which it is completing the return. AN independent auditing firm conducted the audit of the financial statements. The audited financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
| MEMBERS OR STOCKHOLDERS | Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) represents nearly 51,900 pilot members. ALPA has only one category of active members. ALPA also collects dues from executive inactive members (at a reduced rate) and "non-members" (at another reduced rate). Executive inactive members are entitled to all of the rights and benefits of active members except they may not vote, assume or hold elective or appointive office (including committee assignments), attend meetings or be included on the active member mailing list. "Non-members" are not members of ALPA who are nevertheless compelled to pay union dues or fees under an agency shop agreement. Non-members are entitled to a pro rata adjustment for any expenses that are not germane. Non-members are not entitled to any benefits of ALPA membership. |
| MEMBERS OR STOCKHOLDERS WHO MAY ELECT | Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a ALPA's highest governing body is the board of directors. Members of the board of directors are directly elected from local councils by the active and executive active members assigned to those local councils. The members of other ALPA governing bodies - all of which are subsidiary to the board of directors - are elected by the members of the board of directors. |
| FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS | Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b The return is reviewed by the Senior Staff Accountant, Finance Department Management Staff, President, General Manager, and Vice President Finance/Treasurer of the Air Line Pilots Association, International ("Association"). |
| CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY MONITORING & ENFORCEMENT | Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c (1) ALPA's conflict of interest policy is reviewed with employees, a written copy is included in each employee new hire kit, a copy is included in the employee handbook, and the policy is posted on the employee staff center website. The policy provides examples of some of the relationships that should be avoided. The policy requires that all employees avoid conflicts between their personal interest and the members of, or persons represented by, ALPA or the interest of ALPA in dealing with employers or with suppliers, customers, and all other organizations or individuals seeking to do business with ALPA. If a conflict is reported, discovered, or suspected, it is addressed first by the employee's supervisor and, if necessary, by the human resources department, and in either case, appropriate measures are taken, which can include termination for violation of the policy. (2) In accordance with Federal labor laws, ALPA is governed by officers elected from among the membership. Accordingly, decisions made by ALPA's governing bodies necessarily affect the officers who make up those governing bodies, just as those decisions affect the union members as a whole. However, section 501(A) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. S501(A), states that officers and other union representatives "occupy positions of trust" with respect to the union and so that "[I]T is, therefore, the duty of each such person, taking into account the special problems and functions of a labor organization, to hold its money and property solely for the benefit of the organization and its members and to manage, invest, and expend the same in accordance with its constitution and bylaws and any resolutions of the governing bodies adopted thereunder, to refrain from dealing with such organization as an adverse party or in behalf of an adverse party in any matter connected with his duties and from holding or acquiring any pecuniary or personal interest which conflicts with the interest of such organization, and to account to the organization for any profit received by him in whatever capacity in connection with transactions conducted by him or under his direction on behalf of the organization." The responsibilities imposed by LMRDA section 501(A) may b enforced by union members through suits in federal courts, or by the Secretary of Labor, and those responsibilities govern the union's actions. |
| PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION | Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a & 15B (1) ALPA's compensation review process includes evaluation of individual education and professional experience, review and updating of each staff position, performance appraisal, assessment of internal equity, and external/market benchmarking. ALPA evaluates/re-evaluates staff positions on an on-going basis, rotating through each position approximately every four years. The evaluation is an interactive, written process that includes the employee, department management, and human resources. External/market benchmarking is part of the compensation review process, as well as the annual performance appraisal process. ALPA subscribes to/participates in several benchmarking data sources including ERI Executive Compensation Assessor, Salary.com Companalyst, and the HRA-NCA Survey for DC associations. Salary minimums/maximums are prescribed by collective bargaining agreements for 86% of ALPA staff. A Salary Administration Plan for management and non-bargaining employees is approved by the general manager annually. The salary review committee is responsible for review and approval of compensation and meets on a regular basis. (2) The president's compensation is approved by the ALPA Board of Directors (BoD). The BoD last reviewed the president's compensation at the 2014 BoD meeting. The president's compensation is updated by the director-finance at least annually per the calculation approved by the BoD. The general manager's compensation is approved by the president and the director-human resources. Other key employee's compensation is approved by the general manager and the director-human resources. The review process for key employees was undertaken during 2015. |
