Pilots Discuss Safety Culture
The Coalition for Airline Pilots Associations (CAPA), consisting of pilots from Airborne Express, AirTran, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and UPS, hosted its annual safety conference in Dallas Oct. 21-22. This year's theme was "One Level of Safety," focusing on pilot fatigue and safety communications. CAPA President Capt. Paul Onorato said "fatigue is an issue in today's environment of increased productivity and extended duty days. This conference provided CAPA pilots the opportunity to share information and experiences unique to their operation with the intent to improve safety throughout our industry." CAPA Director of Safety Capt. John Gadzinski said "this safety event brought together key personnel responsible for investigations and safety management to further professional skills, share knowledge, and promote best practices in fatigue, investigations, and risk management. This event was an important milestone in our work as we continue to promote one level of safety for all commercial pilots." CAPA is committed to promoting modern safety practices. It is working to address fatigue and runway safety issues, and promote vital safety programs such as ASAP.
