What is Spouse Support Network / Family Engagement?
APA believes that a successful career includes a successful family life. We want to include the entire family and give them the tools they need to support their pilot. We are here to provide support, information, and the opportunity to socialize and have some fun! This is a joint effort within APA and the Family Awareness and Family Navigation committees. However, this is a Spouse/Partner lead group with APA support. This is your group and where it goes is up to you! So, if you are interested in volunteering please reach out.
Newsletter
A quarterly newsletter will be emailed with important information, upcoming deadlines events. Fun submissions are welcome.
An informational Facebook page will be active for the group to post about current events and activities. Posting will be restricted to Local Chapter organizers and monitor approved postings.
Local Chapters
Our goal is to build support groups in local areas where our pilots live. We will help organize meetups and events as to support your efforts. Smaller cities might have one group. Large areas like DFW will have the opportunity to have multiple. We want them close enough to be easy to join. But it is up to you.

What is Family Awareness?
APA Family Awareness Program focuses on the importance of a pilot's family in his or her decision-making regarding career choices, livelihood, support for union activities, and contract negotiations.
The role of the Family Awareness Committee is to create and maintain pilot group and family unity in support of the goals of the union. This entails educating families on union issues, keeping them informed of rapidly changing events, building support structures, and creating two-way communication between leadership and pilot families.
