Established in 1971 at Delta, The Professional Airline Flight Control Association (PAFCA) is a non-profit labor organization designed to protect and promote the profession of operational control personnel.

PAFCA is made up of locals (PAFCA-DAL, PAFCA-UAL, PAFCA-ASA) which create the International.  The International Board is made up of the local presidents and a Chairman of the Board, along with a International Secretary/ Treasurer. The goal of PAFCA is to allow the locals to run their own business and look to the International for guidance.
