The JNC Blog has been up and running over the holiday weekend
The Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) Blog has been up and running over the holiday weekend, and the JNC thanks everyone for the engaging questions. We are ultimately endeavoring to answer new questions on the blog within 24 hours of submission, but during this initial period we’re asking for your patience. The JNC is running a little behind on our response time, and we’re also waiting to answer several questions until after we’ve had an opportunity to consult with our resources at AFA headquarters tomorrow.
Q&A Only on the JNC Blog
Please note that in order to facilitate clear communication, the JNC will post only questions and answers on the blog. Opinions and/or comments included in questions will be edited to distill to the basic question(s). Duplicative questions may be condensed into a composite question in order to streamline the posts.

The roadshow schedule may be found on the Merger TAs & Info page along with other TA-related resources. Any pre-merger Alaska Airlines (pmAS) or pre-merger Virgin America (pmVX) FAs are welcome to attend any and all sessions. Please be aware that only AFA members in good standing may vote on the TA, so it is extremely important that pmAS FAs are current on their dues and pmVX FAs have completed an AFA membership application prior to the vote.
