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.

Facebook

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.

What is Family Navigation?

APA Family Navigation is a subcommittee of The Compass Project. Its goal is to provide support and resources for new and expecting parents and their families. Below is a list of the available resources. Please ask your pilot to take you to the APA website, Compass Project menu and scroll down to the Family Navigation menu.

What is Fini Flight?

Volunteer for Fini Flights. Send an email to: APA Public Email Address

Fini Flight is a Family Awareness program that organizes small celebrations to ensure that every retiring pilot's last flight is special.

We meet pilots right at the gate with cake, a party crew, and the pilot's loved ones to celebrate their careers, honor this milestone, and help them start a new chapter with wonderful memories of all they've achieved.

What is Critical Pilot Response (CPR)?

We are a matchmaker for people with resources and people in need when a natural disaster occurs! APA Family Awareness is here for you in times of need. The pilots of American Airlines are a family, and we believe in helping each other. If you experience a significant life event and are in need, please reach out. If you are able to help those in need, please let us know. We will do our best to connect you together to build and support our community.
