ALPA Pilot Assistance Forum

L-R: FO Travis Ludwig, Captain Murray Munro, and FO John Taylor

Pilots from Canada, the United States and around the world met in Virginia in May to examine current
and ongoing air line pilot health and wellness issues at the ALPA Pilot Assistance Forum, Trained For
Life. The varied programming included workshops in Critical Incident Response Programs (CIRPs), Pilot
Peer Support (PPS) training programs, and more.

Presentations on a variety of topics included Leadership in Pilot Assistance, current issues in air line pilot
health and wellness, the latest on sleep science, cabin air quality, CIRP case studies, and much more.

Following the Forum Programming, ALPA held an awards reception at the National Air and Space Mu-
seum. IFALPA volunteer, Captain Murray Munro of Canada (see page 18), was awarded the Presidential
Citation. ALPA’s Air Safety Organization’s Canadian Pilot Assistance Chair for 15 years, Captain Munro was
instrumental in the development of IFALPA’s Pilot Assistance Manual. Munro has played a crucial role in
the development of many pilot wellness programs and resources, both nationally, and on the interna-
tional level.
