NATCA President Nick Daniels addressed the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) Executive Board on Sept. 23, 2026. During his address, President Daniels talked about the growing relationship between NATCA and ALPA, including the two labor union’s’ work with the Modern Skies Coalition.

President Daniels also emphasized the need for aviation labor organizations to work together to ensure modernization efforts are successful across the National Airspace System. He said, “That is what we are fighting for day in and day out, to ensure we get the right tools and equipment into controllers’ hands, to best serve all of you and the flying public.”

Following his address, President Daniels heard comments from ALPA Executive Board members and answered questions. Many of the comments focused on the incredible professionalism shown by NATCA members during the October 2025 government shutdown. NATCA thanks ALPA and ALPA President Capt.
