 * The Allied Pilots Association (APA) is the current union which represents the American Airlines pilots but pilots previously represented by two separate unions are not yet an integrated work force. During the attempted integration of the pilot labor force starting in 2013, APA represented pilots from the pre-2013 merger American Airlines while the US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA) represented USAirways pilots. USAPA was created after US Airways pilots were not satisfied with binding arbitration (2007 Nicolau Award) between the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) representing USAirways pilots and ALPA representing America West pilots, where 500 USAirways pilots were placed on the top of the seniority list but gave former America West pilots higher senority than their date of hire. The USAPA withdrew representation of their member pilots after an unfavorable 2015 ruling by a U.S. federal appeals court regarding their ability to adequately represent former America West pilots.
