THANKING DOUG MATTSON FOR HIS SERVICE ON THE UNITED AIRLINES MASTER
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
______
HON. ADAM SMITH
of washington
in the house of representatives
Friday, May 28, 2021
Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Doug Mattson for his work on the United Airlines Master Executive Council Legislative Committee.
A Washington native, Doug went on to serve honorably in the United States Air Force. During his time in service, Doug Mattson flew T-37s, T-43s, and C-40Bs and went on to finish his time in the military as a Captain.
After his service to our country, Doug couldn't keep his feet on the ground and became a pilot for United Airlines flying Boeing 787s. For the last eight years, he served on the Executive Council Legislative Committee where he worked to protect and promote the careers of pilots, concentrating on safety, pay, working conditions, benefits, and job security. He played a key role in preparing the next generation of pilot advocates to lead on these key issues.
Doug provided a steady hand over his eight years and is an Air Line Pilots Association member his colleagues came to depend on. His ability to mentor pilots of varying political persuasions is a testament to his commitment to ensuring that the Executive Council Legislative Committee fulfilled its duty to ensure that pilots voices are heard on Capitol Hill. No matter the day or flight, he always had a smile on his face.
Even though Doug has been busy dividing time between flying and advocating for pilots nationwide, he is a family man and enjoys spending time with his lovely wife Sharon, and their two sons Eric and Cameron.
Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to thank Doug Mattson for the time he spent advocating for his fellow pilots on the United Airlines Master Executive Council Legislative Committee.
