Details: Published: August 20, 2025

Last week, over 150 PASS delegates, members and guests traveled to Las Vegas for the 2025 PASS Convention. This biennial event is an opportunity for PASS members to conduct important union business, hear from aviation and labor guest speakers, attend informational workshops, and meet with their fellow union brothers and sisters.

National President Dave Spero welcomed attendees on the first day of the convention. His remarks emphasized the critical contributions made by PASS members and the need to ensure the PASS voice is heard now and in the future. “Remember that America needs labor unions; America needs aviation; America needs us; our country needs you!” he said.

National Secretary-Treasurer Carlos Aguirre also had words of encouragement and inspiration for convention attendees. He reviewed the challenges PASS members overcame during the past year and encouraged members to stay strong. “You are the heartbeat of PASS. You are the safety chain,” he emphasized. “You are the reason this system works. Every PASS member is a critical link in the aviation safety ecosystem.”

In addition to hearing from national leaders and national committee members, several special guests addressed the convention. Speakers included Transportation Trades Department, AFL-CIO President Greg Regan; Association of Flight Attendants-CWA International President Sara Nelson; NATCA President Nick Daniels; Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.); Air Line Pilots Association President Jason Ambrosi; and FAA Vice President for Technical Operations Dan Murphy.

Of utmost importance during convention, PASS delegates considered several amendments to the PASS Constitution. More information on the amendments will be made available to members in the coming weeks.
