US Airways’ pilots have narrowly voted to switch representation, in a landmark decision that will take the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) out of the negotiating seat and give it to the new US Airline Pilots Association, which will represent more than 5,200 pilots.

“Earlier this hour, the National Mediation Board (NMB) released results of the US Airways pilot union representation vote and the independent union – US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA) - won the election by a 2,723 to 2,254 vote,” reveals US Airways management in a notice to employees.

The NMB told the unions and the company that it will certify the vote tomorrow.

This vote means that USAPA will now represent US
