AIRCRAFT MECHANICS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES APPLAUD THE PASSAGE OF THE CARES ACT

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – March 27, 2020 – Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) National Director Bret Oestreich, released the following statement:

On behalf of the over 4,000 aircraft mechanics representing Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, and Southwest Airlines, AMFA applauds the U.S. Congress passage of bipartisan legislation to provide financial stability to the hard-working men and women on the front lines providing safety and security to the American flying public during this unparalleled time of adversity. In addition to the unprecedented health crisis we are facing, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has brought with it devastating economic consequences. And now, the airline workers are at the front line of one the most economically impacted industries.

AMFA strongly urges all U.S. passenger air carriers to participate in the financial relief programs established in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act will provide direct payroll support to a U.S. passenger air carrier to provide salary and benefits for aviation workers. This support is critical to our workforce and critical to the future of U.S. aviation.

AMFA encourages the President’s swift action to sign this bill immediately.
