Do your own research. You would have to check all 50 states to be sure, but here are Georgia & Virginia where our association and employer are located.

Member Search

Virginia State Bar - Member Directory Search

Attorneys can also be admitted to the Bar in a State on a temporary basis "pro hac vice" or "for this turn." To be clear, I have little doubt any law school graduate working for ALPA could be admitted under the right circumstance.

In reality, our MEC can get advice from any consultant they desire. But this political advice comes in a form that makes it appear to be authoritative legal advice. It would be good to clarify and distinguish the practice of law from the practice of politics.

I know you already know the answer, but the answer is that an ALPA national attorney would have to advise for the pilot's firing. To do anything else would be a breach of their duty to represent their client's best interest. Their client of course is ALPA national...not the line pilot. That individual pilot's defense is up to the "association", and even that duty is only to fairly represent. Not to represent like a pit bull.

That's why you always hire outside counsel with expertise in wrongful termination if you're ever faced with this. With ALPA representation, your fate hangs on whether your continued employment serves the interests of ALPA national.
