Associate Analyst Jobs in Olney, MD (NOW HIRING)

Associate Airline Economic & Financial Analyst

The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), the largest airline pilot union in the world and the largest non-governmental aviation safety organization in the world (representing over 80,000 pilots at 42 U.S. and Canadian airlines) seeks an Associate Analyst for our office in Tysons (McLean), Virginia. The Associate Analyst supports the Economic and Financial Analysis (E&FA) department by maintaining the databases and analytical resources that staff and pilot members rely on—including airline financial and operational data, macroeconomic indicators, and equity analyst research. Specific responsibilities include supporting analysts on collective bargaining and research projects, helping design and analyze pilot surveys, maintaining the pay and contract comparison tools that staff and pilot members reference in preparation for and during negotiations, help prepare legal exhibits for grievances and arbitrations, and contributing to monthly industry articles for Air Line Pilot magazine.

More particularly, as the central point of contact (POC) for E&FA databases, they maintain monthly Canada/U.S. economic indicators; quarterly Key Indicators for the U.S., Canadian, and Cargo sectors; quarterly Wall Street airline consensus forecasts; and, annual summaries covering executive compensation and historical profit-sharing — while keeping the consolidated pay-rate database current and producing contract comparisons across U.S. and Canadian passenger, cargo, and FFD sectors. As an analyst, they provide ad hoc statistical, economic, and financial analysis in support of negotiations; help design and analyze pilot surveys; support research and strategic projects for department analysts and leadership; and, at times, may be called upon to assist in preparing for arbitrations and other legal proceedings. They also contribute to outreach, drafting articles for the Air Line Pilot magazine and support the planning and running of E&FA's scheduling workshops, as well as assisting with departmental participation of hosted workshops and meetings.

Staff in this role generally advance to the Analyst level, where they work directly with pilot members on bargaining and economic projects. This position contributes meaningfully to the department and Association while building the industry knowledge and technical foundation that progression requires.
