This is Communications Committee member First Officer Scott Shankland with the APA Information Hotline for Friday, April 3.
NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE:
Negotiations between APA and management resumed this week for only the third scheduled bargaining week this year. There were no substantive discussions this week on compensation, scope, work rules or any other core contractual issues. A thorough update on the issues discussed will be posted to the APAnegotiations.com Web site on Monday. AA negotiators continue to reject our offer to meet without the mediator present. The next mediated bargaining sessions are scheduled for the first full week of May.
APA NATIONAL OFFICERS ROAD SHOW CANCELLED:
In an e-mail message to the membership yesterday, APA President Captain Lloyd Hill announced that the remaining National Officers’ road show meetings were cancelled. Captain Hill’s message may be accessed via the home page of the alliedpilots.org Web site.

Elected to the committee were First Officer Scott Shankland, First Officer Tom Hoban, Captain Russ Dennis, First Officer Kent Calvin, First Officer Mark Fowler, First Officer Dennis Tajer, First Officer Jennifer Ewald and First Officer Craig Railsback.

SPC TRACKING EXERCISE “BLUEBERRY”:
APA SPC will conduct tracking exercise “Blueberry” for all ORD and STL domicile pilots on Tuesday, April 7 through Wednesday, April 8. Participation in this exercise will require precise attention to detailed instructions. Day one of the exercise includes all ORD and STL domicile pilots on duty.
