        Urgent Reminders: Early Deplaning and Social Media

        DO NOT Leave the Aircraft During Deplaning

        This is a firm reminder that stepping off the aircraft to commute home while passengers are deplaning is strictly prohibited and may result in disciplinary action. Even when the minimum required crew remains on board, all assigned Flight Attendants must remain on the aircraft until the last passenger has deplaned as outlined in our Flight Attendant Manual (FAM).


        Think Before You Post

        The way we communicate online has changed, and so has the level of attention given to social media activity. We want to remind everyone to be extremely mindful of what you post online.

        Be cautious when posting while on company time, in company uniform, or when discussing Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, coworkers, or company-related matters. Even posts or comments that may seem harmless or are intended for a limited audience can be reviewed if they come to the company’s attention.

        In conversations with other Alaska AFA Local Presidents, social media has consistently been identified as one of the more common sources of disciplinary investigations on the AS side. Posts in private groups (HAL Life, Galley Tea, etc.), comments on social media platforms, or interactions that you believe are only visible to a select audience may still be shared or reported.

        Before posting, ask yourself whether the content could be misunderstood, taken out of context, or reflect negatively on you or your employment. A few extra moments of thought before clicking “post” can help prevent unnecessary investigations or disciplinary issues.

        Remember, nothing shared online should ever be assumed to be truly private. Protect yourself by thinking before you post. When in doubt, don’t post it.

        Hawaiian Inflight Service Committee Update – June 30, 2026

        A Message Regarding the Hawaiian Crew Meal Program

        Aloha Hawaiian Flight Attendants,

        Our work life is currently experiencing overwhelming amounts of change. Part of this change is managementʻs introduction of a new crew meal program with the transition to our business/first class pre-order meal program. Pre-merger Alaska management is now overseeing all crew meals for Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendants. The AFA Officers and Inflight Service Committee have heard your concerns regarding the quality and consistency of what is currently being provided.  We are diligently educating management on our past expectations, their contractual obligations, and the preferences specific to Hawaiian Airlines crew members.

        Management has expressed that the new program was never intended to reduce the quality or integrity of the options available to our crews. They are committed to working with AFA to reestablish meals that meet our needs while fulfilling the $550,000 annual budget increase that was established in the 2020 agreement. We have confirmed that this annual spending budget is being met and we will continue to hold management accountable to these parameters. Solutions will take both a short and long term approach as management works through the logistics with local and international kitchens.

        We appreciate your continued diligence in documenting all of your experiences. Your B2B reports are important and remain the primary driver for these changes. Mahalo a nui loa for your patience!

        In solidarity,

        AFA Inflight Service Committee Chairpersons,
        Bianca McKee, Master Executive Council – Hawaiian Brand
        Thalia Adachi, Hawaiian Airlines Council 43, Honolulu
        Gary Manoi, Hawaiian Airlines Council 47, Los Angeles
