Typically, a large number of pilots gathers for the ceremony. Due to COVID-19 restrictions however, this year’s event will be performed via a webcast.

The live stream will begin at 8:30am eastern.
ALPA is the union that represents more than 63,000 airline pilots from 35 different airlines across the U.S. and Canada.
The ceremony had been held each year at a memorial garden built at the ALPA headquarters in Reston VA. This year’s ceremony will take place at ALPA’s new headquarters located in McLean, VA.
Friday’s ceremony will be led by ALPA’s national officers and held in a new Remembrance Garden at the new location.
Also expected to speak in today’s ceremony, remotely, are the Chairman of the United MEC (representing the pilots of United Airlines) and the ALPA Canada president.
