52nd IFATSEA General Assembly
October 21–25, 2024
The LINQ Hotel
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

The Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, AFL-CIO, is proud to sponsor the 52nd IFATSEA General Assembly as it allows us the opportunity to interact with major players in the field of aviation from over 70 countries, benefit from their vast experiences and knowledge, and familiarize the delegates with the struggles and success of the aviation system in the United States.

Things continue to evolve rapidly, but we are clearer on the upcoming expectations for “reentry” and I want to share some expectations and next steps with you.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Earlier this month, I sent a message outlining what we knew at the time about the FAA’s reentry plans and the status of telework. Agency messaging, however, continues to be confusing, and I want to provide up-to-the minute clarity regarding telework as reentry continues. 

PASS continues to actively discuss the reentry process with management. Policy is still in development amending some definitions of telework and remote work. We continue to negotiate those policies to best provide clear, measurable standards and ensure fair and consistent application throughout the bargaining unit.
