FORT WORTH, TX– American Airlines, in conjunction with the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU), announce the FAA’s renewal of the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for American’s mechanics.
American and TWU have had a program in place for 11 years and with the FAA approved renewal of the program, ASAP will be extended for two more years. The TWU/American Airlines ASAP maintenance program is the longest running in U.S. commercial aviation.
ASAP is a safety partnership organized by American, the union, and the FAA, designed to encourage employees to voluntarily report safety-related information. The reports help identify potential precursors to serious safety incidents. For the first time in the program’s history, the ASAP program will now have a “Just Culture” provision that will go beyond specific incidents and explore the systems, policies and procedures that may have contributed to an event or a possible incident.
