Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

  • Our Hawaiian Seattle Domicile Negotiating Committee has reached an agreement with management
  • The Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement (SEA LOA) has been ratified by the Hawaiian voting members of the Master Executive Council (MEC) per the AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws
  • The Seattle domicile is planned to open in April 2026 and Hawaiian Flight Attendants are encouraged to review the SEA LOA and attend virtual roadshows

Agreement Reached

After months of negotiations following the Seattle domicile announcement, AFA and management have reached an agreement establishing the Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement (SEA LOA).  The SEA LOA provides an orderly process for establishing the base and enhanced contractual provisions that will protect Hawaiian Flight Attendants. 

Per AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws, Section IV, the Hawaiian voting members of our Master Executive Council (MEC) have ratified the SEA LOA. MEC ratification of this LOA is in line with our history of establishing new domiciles outside of Section 6 negotiations. Letters of Agreement considered for membership ratification include issues that affect the vast majority of our Flight Attendants including new aircraft type negotiations and restructuring agreements to avoid bankruptcy or as a part of bankruptcy. We would like to emphasize that the SEA LOA contains only improvements to our current contract provisions.

Management is preparing to open the SEA domicile in April 2026. Flight Attendants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the enhanced contractual provisions secured by your AFA Negotiating Committee. Please review the SEA LOA and the Question and Answer (Q & A)to answer your immediate questions.

More information will be forthcoming in addition to virtual roadshows that the Negotiating Committee will be hosting. We ensured that there is adequate time between this announcement and the first vacancy bid closing for Flight Attendants to evaluate whether they would like to submit a vacancy bid for the Seattle domicile.  For any questions not answered in this Q & A, please email the Negotiating Committee at sea@hawaiianafa.org. We will continue to update the FAQ and post more information as it becomes available.

Vacancy Bid

  • OPEN: December 15, 2025
  • CLOSE: January 12, 2026
  • AWARD: January 14, 2026

Please check your company email for details. Information will also be posted to the company IFS website.

Save the Date – Virtual Roadshows

  • Session #1 – Monday, December 1, 2025 from 3 PM to 4:30 PM HT

Council 47 LAX – Uniform Points

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Los Angeles Based Flight Attendants

Time to Use Your Uniform Points

Aloha LAX,

As the year wraps up, please remember to use your remaining uniform points before December 31.

Under Section 6.C of our Collective Bargaining Agreement, Flight Attendants are credited with 650 uniform points each January 1, valued at one dollar per point. These points can be used toward the purchase of replacement uniform items or company-approved optional pieces through the uniform vendor. Unused points do not roll over into the new year and will be forfeited if not used by December 31.

To make the most of your allowance:

  • Place your order early to avoid end-of-year processing delays.
  • Inspect your uniform items for wear or damage and replace them as needed.
  • Remember that you can pay the difference if your order exceeds your annual 650-point balance.

Useful Links:

In Solidarity,
Your Council 47 AFA Leadership Team

SEA Domicile Negotiations Update – November 2025

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

  • Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee is close to finalizing an agreement with management

Negotiations Update

Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee continues to work with management on the SEA domicile provisions. We are nearing a final agreement, with our priorities focused on ensuring that Flight Attendants who transfer have the right to return to their former domicile, as well as addressing staffing and other provisions that will protect Flight Attendants who transfer to the SEA domicile.

As you recall, our priorities were:

  • Transfer Processes – strengthening protective elements of the transfer process for those who may be interested in moving to the new domicile
  • Return to HNL or LAX Domicile – addressing the concern of Flight Attendants transferring to SEA and potentially wishing to return to their Hawaiian domicile before the merging of the Hawaiian and Alaska SEA domicile
  • Staffing – ensuring that staffing is sufficient to meet operational demands
  • Moving Expenses – advocating for fair and comprehensive compensation related to any necessary relocation
  • Operational Concerns – defining the type of flying and pairings that will be constructed in the domicile
  • Safeguarding Existing Bases – protecting our HNL and LAX domiciles during this transition

Even after the SEA Domicile Letter of Agreement is finalized, we anticipate that additional issues and concerns will arise as management moves forward with implementation, and we remain committed to addressing these matters. We are hopeful that we will be able to conclude these negotiations and share further updates with you by the end of the week.

As always, we remain committed to getting you, the Hawaiian Flight Attendants, the best protections for those of you considering transferring to the new domicile. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local leadership or email the SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee at sea@afahawaiian.org.
