Tales from the Terminal: Captain Brad Donner, DFW 320

Tune into our podcast to meet American pilots like you collecting cards in our latest series, called Tales from the Terminal. We’ll share their experiences, review lessons learned and discover just how easy it is to help out the cause.

 

We stay in Dallas with Captain Brad Donner, who shares his “why” for collecting cards: leveraging his experience to leave it better than how he found it. 

 

“We have pilots who are at the end of their career and they have spent, in many cases, three decades or more at American Airlines. Their experience means a lot to them, and they absolutely want to leave it better than how they found it. And particularly with the latest contract, that we just recently ratified, they look at how we’re doing in comparison with their peers and even the ones who supported APA now see that we’re simply coming up short. And that we need to change. We have young people who are arriving here - I just flew with one - she will have four decades at American Airlines. Her tenure at American Airlines will represent approximately 50% of her natural life. The union that represents her is a consequential thing.” - Captain Brad Donner, DFW 320
