Chapter 4-"The Airmail Pilots' Strike of 1919"

from Flying the Line · host Air Line Pilots Association, International

The Airmail Pilots' Strike of 1919 was one of the earliest organized actions taken by pilots. This 4-day strike led to concessions by Post Office management to eliminate the practice of "weather pushing" and to increase safety for airmail pilots. The roots of modern-day pilots' unions can be traced back to this important event in aviation history.
