Teamsters Airline Division Underwing Director Bob Fisher and Underwing Safety Coordinator Chris Moore represented the union on Friday, Nov. 8, during the 18th Annual Aviation Education & Career Expo in Hagerstown, Maryland.
The event brings together more than 1,000 high school and college-aged students from the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area to learn more about career opportunities in the aviation industry and engage directly with experts from across the field, including Teamsters.
“It’s always great to see the next generation eager to learn more about how the industry works and the different paths available to them,” Fisher said. “Everyone in the aviation industry play critical roles in making it the safest form of transportation in the world, and it’s important that the Teamsters continue that record by getting students engaged as soon as possible.”
The Teamsters Airline Division served as a sponsor for the event, which will award over $180,000 in scholarships for students.
“We come to these events to let students know that when they think about a career in the aviation industry, the best ones are with the Teamsters,” Moore said. “Whether they want to be a pilot, a technician, a flight attendant, or anything else, the best way to make sure they gain the most out of their futures is by joining the Teamsters — the top union for aviation professionals in the world.”
