    Alaska Air Group Non-Revenue Travel Embargo

    January 24, 2018 14:17 By Brian Palmer (MEC Vice President)

    Earlier today, Alaska Air Group management posted an article on Alaska’s World outlining a non-rev travel embargo that is planned in conjunction with the cutover to a single Passenger Service Computer System (PSS) at the end of April.  AFA disagrees with any company-imposed restrictions surrounding the use of non-revenue travel benefits by our members.  We will be addressing the planned embargo with management and will provide more information once discussions have occurred.

    In Solidarity,

    Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Terry Taylor, Mario de’Medici, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green and Brice McGee
