Our Fellow Pilots,
The Colgan MEC would like to express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all those on board Flight 3407, including our fellow aviators, Captain Marvin Renslow, First Officer Rebecca Shaw, and Captain Joe Zuffoletto, as well as flight attendants Donna Prisco and Matilda Quintero.
ALPA quickly responded to news of the accident, dispatching a team including Colgan pilots and ALPA staff, as well as representatives from a number of other ALPA pilot groups, to support the NTSB in its investigation. As ALPA is a party to the investigation, the union cannot comment on the accident at this time. Please NOTE: If you are contacted or approached by anyone regarding this incident, please do not comment; direct reporters to media@alpa.org.
ALPA has also made available volunteers through its Critical Incident Response Program (CIRP). Volunteers involved in the CIRP Committee are trained in peer support for pilots. They will be available in our crew lounges in EWR, IAH and IAD, or by contacting ALPA CIRP Committee Chairman Louise Cullinan (MAG) at (970) 291-9367.
In addition to the assistance from our union and fellow ALPA members that we are already receiving, many of our ALPA brothers and sisters have offered their personal support and assistance. ALPA is inviting members and others to donate to ALPA’s Emergency Relief Fund to assist the family members affected by this tragedy. You can make a donation by following the links found at www.alpa.org.
We sincerely appreciate the generous outpouring of support that has been made to our pilot group today, which is another example of how the ALPA family comes together to help fellow pilots.
Fraternally,
Capt. Mark Segaloff, Temporary MEC Chairman
First Officer Carla Widman, Temporary MEC Vice-Chairman
Capt. Timothy Newkirk, Temporary MEC Secretary/Treasurer
