Earlier this month, DHS revealed that it would charge airlines $19 a year per crew member to use CMAP. With a workforce of more than 47,500 pilots and flight attendants, American Airlines faces a $2.64 million annual fee to allow its aircrew to use CMAP… That is, of course, if all crew members consent to their participation in the program.
And the KCM program concludes at the end of 2026. Surprised that airlines — notoriously generous with their money — aren’t protesting the change.
