APA is the Largest Independent Pilots’ Union in the World
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Capitol67 Strategies, LLC (Cap67) has signed The Allied Pilots Association (APA), the certified collective bargaining agent for the 16,000 professional pilots who fly for American Airlines. APA was founded in 1963 and is the largest independent pilots’ union in the world.
Cap67 is a recently launched government affairs firm in Washington, DC and Harrisburg, PA co-founded by longtime political experts Keith Pemrick, Andrew Robreno, and Jane Clements. Cap67 will assist APA in carrying out their legislative, regulatory, and political agenda in Washington, DC. During the 2024 election cycle, APA supported 201 House and Senate candidates, with a bipartisan split of 101 Democrats and 100 Republicans, with over $2.5 million in contributions.
"APA is excited to establish our partnership with Capitol67 Strategies in Washington, DC,” stated Nick Silva, APA President. “Keith & Andrew bring unmatched energy and a keen awareness of the issues impacting APA and our 16,000 pilots of American Airlines. Their bipartisan approach and backgrounds, as well as experience working in aviation policy, will elevate APA's standing in Washington."
“We are incredibly grateful to Nick and APA for bringing us onto their team,” said Keith Pemrick, Cap67 Co-Founder & Managing Partner. “I had the honor of working with APA for the past 15 months on the political side only, so I’m excited to bring my policy chops to the table and maximize APA’s political strength. Their Government Affairs Committee, comprised of pilots from across the country, are dedicated professionals whose top priority is promoting safety for the flying public.”
“APA represents the best and the brightest in aviation,” said Andrew Robreno, Cap67 Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “With a membership that includes highly skilled and dedicated pilots, charged with flying passengers and crew for the largest airline in the world, they are committed to excellence in flight safety, professional standards, and advocacy.
