MEDIA ADVISORY:

WASHINGTON, D.C.---The president of the Air Line Pilot’s Association, Capt. Duane Woerth, will be available Sunday afternoon and evening for telephone interviews during the countdown to a potential pilot strike at Comair.

Woerth will be coordinated through the Comair pilots’ strike center in Cincinnati using a special temporary cell phone number, (301) 325-0635. Reporters should provide a number where they can be reached with a call-back on Sunday afternoon.
