The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) is the largest airline pilot union in the world and the largest non-governmental aviation safety organization globally. Representing over 80,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines, ALPA is a member-driven, staff-supported union dedicated to advancing the safety and professional interests of its members.
The Airline/Aviation Economic & Financial Analyst serves as a critical support pillar for the Economic and Financial Analysis department. This role is designed to deliver high-level economic, financial, industry, contract, and bargaining analyses to elected pilot representatives and committee volunteers. The Analyst monitors airline-industry and macroeconomic developments, conducts airline-specific financial analyses, and develops cost models to quantify pilot and company contract proposals.
In this position, you will provide strategic recommendations on compensation and direct-cost provisions to support complex, time-sensitive negotiations. Your work will involve examining airline-specific cost, revenue, and productivity data, designing pilot surveys, and supporting legal proceedings through analysis and expert testimony. Additionally, you will contribute to ALPA's broader analytical resources, including operational and macroeconomic databases, and periodically author articles for ALPA's Air Line Pilot magazine covering key industry topics.
Success in this role requires active listening, sound judgment, and the ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to varied audiences. You will establish effective working relationships with pilot representatives, elected leaders, company counterparts, and other stakeholders. This position is on a path toward the Senior Analyst level, offering opportunities to operate with greater independence and manage more complex portfolios based on performance.
This position is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Applications are reviewed based on the combination of education and professional experience required for the role.
