        Mahalo From Your AFA Hawaiian Communications Committee

        June 19, 2025 13:00

        This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

        Aloha Hawaiian Flight Attendants,

        On behalf of your AFA Hawaiian Communications Committee, we would like to extend our heartfelt mahalo to each of you for your engagement and support throughout the years. It has been an honor to serve you and to help ensure that important communications reached you in a timely and meaningful way. This work has always been a team effort, and we are deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in us.

        As of June 1, 2025, our Communications Committee has officially merged with AFA Alaska to bring you a more unified voice. On June 10, 2025, we held our final meeting as the AFA Hawaiian Communications Committee, and we wanted to provide some final updates. You may begin to notice, or may have already seen, changes in the design and delivery of some of our messages. Please know that while the MEC-level communications have merged, local communications will continue to operate as they always have. Your voices continue to matter, and every Hawaiian Flight Attendant remains a priority.

        Email Handle

        The communications@afahawaiian.org account will be deactivated and preserved as an archive. This address was primarily used for administrative purposes. If you have this email saved in your contacts, please update accordingly.

        In order to help you reach your LEC Officers more easily going forward, we’ve created a few new email shortcuts. If you’re based in HNL, you can reach your Council 43 officers at hnl@afahawaiian.org. If you’re LAX-based, you can reach your Council 47 officers at lax@afahawaiian.org. Emails sent to either of these addresses will automatically route to the inboxes of all your LEC Officers.

        Website

        The hawaiianafa.org website is currently undergoing revisions to improve accessibility and communication during our transition. As part of this process, some links may now redirect to afaalaska.org. This change is intended to streamline updates and reduce the need for duplicate work across multiple websites, allowing us to share important information more quickly. Centralizing content also helps ensure that members have a single, reliable source for the most current updates, contacts, and resources.

        Facebook / Instagram

        These current accounts are inactive, and the future of these accounts is still under discussion. We will share an update as soon as leadership makes a final decision regarding their use moving forward.

        Questions Form

        The MEC Questions Form will be discontinued. Going forward, please direct any inquiries, comments, or suggestions to your Local Council officers: https://www.hawaiianafa.org/contact-us

        Thank you again for your continued solidarity as we navigate this merger.

        Seniority Merger Integration Committee Update – May 2025

        May 28, 2025 17:00

        History And Importance Of AFA’s Seniority Integration Policy

        The pre-merger Hawaiian and pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants cannot be combined and begin working together until FAA oversight of safety policies and procedures is completed, a joint contract is ratified, and our seniority lists are merged and accepted.

        Nearly 35 years ago, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) established a seniority integration policy designed to minimize division among Flight Attendants during a merger. Having a clear and transparent policy allows us to focus on our other priorities such as maintaining job stability, improving pay, benefits, work rules, and the quality of life at the merged airline.

        Following the merger of TWA and American Airlines, where all TWA Flight Attendants were placed at the bottom of the combined seniority list, our Union pushed for a law to ensure “fair and equitable” seniority integration for airline workers affected by mergers.

        To address this inequity the McCaskill-Bond Amendment was enacted in 2008, mandating fair seniority integration practices. This law ensures that AFA’s Constitution and Bylaws seniority integration policy is followed, providing a standardized approach during mergers when AFA represents Flight Attendants from both pre-merger airlines.

        How Will Our Two Seniority Lists Be Integrated?

        The Seniority Merger Integration Committee (SMIC) consists of representatives from each pre-merger airline: two Hawaiian Flight Attendants and two Alaska Flight Attendants, along with assistance and oversight from the AFA International Office. 

        As the SMIC works to combine the seniority lists for the merged Alaska-Hawaiian Flight Attendant group, they will: 

        • Compile employment data for all Flight Attendants from their respective airlines
        • The C&B only allows changes for initial Flight Attendant training [Section X.C.3.c]
        • Send out a Seniority Verification Letter (SVL) to each Flight Attendant to confirm your current seniority date
        • A verification period will allow each Flight Attendant to review their seniority date before the list is finalized
        • Adjust seniority dates to align with the first day of Flight Attendant Training
        • Determine a consistent method for integrating initial classes with the same start date
        • Maintain everyone’s existing seniority order; no Flight Attendant may leap-frog over anyone else
        • Generate our integrated seniority list based on each Flight Attendants adjusted seniority date
        • The AFA Seniority Merger Integration Process does not permit changes to seniority dates that have been handled through a grievance
        • The SMIC cannot change previous seniority integrations

        Solidarity Always

        Your AFA SMIC, Joint Negotiating Committee, MEC, and International Officers are working to ensure that our rights are protected, and Flight Attendants benefit from this merger. While mergers are often stressful as employees work through integration and many things we cannot control, we must focus on those things that we can; how we react and how we treat each other. Commit to having each other’s backs and lets eradicate any “us” versus “them” thinking as we are all on this journey together.

        Joint Contract Negotiations Session 3 – May 2025

        May 23, 2025 13:00

        This message is for both pre-merger Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendants

        • Our JNC met with management this week on May 20 to May 22 in Seattle; our next negotiation session is scheduled for June 17 to June 19
        • A tentative agreement was reached regarding Buddy Bidding for Training aimed at formalizing a current bidding practice utilized by Hawaiian
        • Our JNC is currently developing the next survey where a comments section will be included based on your feedback

        Negotiations Update

        The AFA Alaska + Hawaiian Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) met this week for three days of collective bargaining with management.  The JNC met with management on May 20 to May 22 in Seattle, WA.  At the negotiating table for this session were:

        Representing AFA and our Flight Attendants  Representing Management
        Tim Green, Joint Negotiating Committee ChairpersonMatt Prainito, Vice President of Inflight, Alaska
        Martin Gusman, Joint Negotiating Committee MemberCarmen Williams, Managing Director, Labor Relations, Alaska
        Jeffrey Fuke, Joint Negotiating Committee MemberTami Becker Gomez, Managing Director and Associate General Counsel Labor and Employment Law, Alaska
        Virgina Fritz, Joint Negotiating Committee MemberMike Link, Labor Relations Program Manager, Alaska
        Heather Reier, Joint Negotiating Committee MemberKaren Themelis, Senior Labor Relations Business Partner, Alaska
        Paula Mastrangelo, AFA Senior Staff NegotiatorKalani Sloat, Senior Director, Labor Relations, Hawaiian
        Seth Heiple, Alaska MEC Air Safety Health and Security Committee ChairpersonAllen Thieman, Managing Director, Crew Scheduling and Crew Pay, Hawaiian

        As we proceed with the JCBA negotiations, we have continued with focusing on addressing the less contentious and non-economic sections. During this session, section proposals listed below were exchanged back and forth between the JNC and management. As we delve deeper into these sections, the issues become increasingly complex. Provisions that initially appear straightforward have numerous interconnected concerns that require careful consideration as we work through them.

        In the intervening weeks since our last in-person session, and to help us to develop our proposals with management, we consulted and collaborated with AFA’s Hawaiian and Alaska subject matter experts and MEC Committee Chairs in the areas of safety, uniforms, hotels and training.

        Seth Heiple came to the table to bring his expertise on Section 25 – Air Safety Health and Security, where he spoke to different safety meetings that AFA participates in with management.  He also educated the group about various safety concerns including various serious incidents, including crewmember assaults and fume events. Seth was also able to emphasize aspects of the Hawaiian contract, such as the standardization of emergency equipment.

        We successfully formalized a buddy bidding practice that Hawaiian currently uses. This allows a Flight Attendant to waive their seniority during the training bidding process. As a result, they can be paired with a junior Flight Attendant and both can attend training together with the same schedule.

        Section by Section Progress

        Tentative Agreements (TAs) reached in this session:

        • Buddy Bidding for Training LOA (HA CBA Section 10.G.6.a)

        Sections discussed in this session:

        • Section 13 – Uniforms (HA CBA Section 6)
        • Section 18 – Reduction in Force (HA CBA Section 16)
        • Section 25 – Air Safety Health and Security (HA CBA Section 28)
        • Section 30 – Training (HA CBA Section 26)
        • Section 33 – Charters (HA CBA Section 12)
        • Section 34 – Lodging and Transportation (HA CBA Section 4)
        • Section 36 – Commuter Policy (HA CBA Section 34-28)

        Sections also in ongoing discussion:

        • Section 6: Seniority (HA CBA Section 9)
        • Section 15: Leaves of Absence (HA CBA Section 17)
        • Section 19: Grievance Procedure (HA CBA 23)
        • Section 27: Association General (HA CBA Section 22)

        What’s Upcoming

        Our next session with management is scheduled for June 17 to June 19. We are actively working on the next survey and have listened to your feedback regarding the Commuter Survey. The next survey will include a section dedicated to comments.

        Meet Your Merged MEC Committee Chairpersons

        May 19, 2025 17:00

        We’re excited to introduce our first group of newly elected merged MEC Committee Chairpersons, who will begin their roles on June 1. These leaders are dedicated to representing the interests of our Flight Attendants as they coordinate activities across the merged committees of both airlines. They’ll work closely with the Local Committee Chairpersons from all eight Local Councils, ensuring that the voices of both pre-merger Alaska and pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants are heard and advocated for. Below, you’ll find brief bios that showcase their backgrounds and experiences as they prepare to support our combined Flight Attendant group.

        Brian Palmer, MEC Communications Committee Chairperson

        Brian began his career with Alaska Airlines as a Flight Attendant in 2006. Initially based in Anchorage, he has also been based in Los Angeles and Portland and is currently based in Seattle. His involvement with AFA began in 2009 when he joined the Council 39 (Portland) Reserve Committee, driven by a desire to improve the quality of life for his fellow reserve Flight Attendants. Over the years, Brian has taken on various leadership roles to advocate for Members’ needs. He has served as the Council 39 Reserve Committee Chairperson, Council 39 LEC Vice President, and Alaska MEC Vice President.

        Now, as he steps into the role of MEC Communications Committee Chairperson for the combined Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendant group, he remains focused on ensuring that every Member feels represented and heard. Brian is deeply committed to empowering our Flight Attendants and improving communication by sharing information more broadly, creating connections, and building networks that make resources easily accessible to all members. His primary objectives include strengthening the Local Communications Committees, developing a new AFA website tailored for the combined Flight Attendant group, and introducing more engaging short-form video content across AFA communication channels.

        Before joining Alaska Airlines, Brian held various leadership positions in the hotel and retail banking industries. After more than a decade of commuting from the East Coast, he now resides in the Seattle area.

        Bruni Agosto-Pinal, MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson

        Bruni began her career as a Flight Attendant in May 2018. She holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree and has had experience in several industries, mostly centered around people and the protection of those who are most vulnerable. Bruni has goals of obtaining a J.D. when the time is right. Both her parents were Union leaders in Puerto Rico in the 80s and 90s, and this idea of having strength in numbers has always resonated with her. Bruni naturally has an interest in politics and social issues and discovered in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic how Congress could have a say in her career as a Flight Attendant; she received a WARN notice, and she, along with many others, would be furloughed unless the Payroll Support Program was passed. This is how she became involved with the Government Affairs Committee, and since then, she hasn’t looked back! Recognizing that our voices deserve to be heard at the local, state, and federal level, she focuses on educating her flying partners about the legislative process and actions that Flight Attendants can take to make a difference. She participated in the latest fly-in to Washington, D.C., to meet with lawmakers regarding the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Bill, which includes provisions regarding cabin air safety, PUMP guidance for airlines and nursing crewmembers, and temperature in aircraft cabins, to name a few. 

        Bruni’s vision is to continue nurturing the passion displayed by Flight Attendants on issues that are important to them and use the momentum past leaders have created within this committee to continue addressing Flight Attendant priorities affecting the safety, income, job security, and overall careers of our Flight Attendant group on all legislative levels. She would like to increase FlightPAC contributions of our membership by at least 20% to ensure our voices continue to be heard in Washington, D.C. Finally, she would like to create a space where Flight Attendants can be empowered to take action and no longer be afraid of politics- because at the end of the day “you may not do politics, but politics is going to do you!” so, why not have a say in the matter? Bruni enjoys spending time with her family in South Florida and the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Family ties and culture are extremely important to her. She loves reading, any beach-related activities, anything beauty and makeup related, and live music. 

        Chip Hestle, MEC Human Rights Committee Chairperson

        Chip began his career as a Seattle-based Flight Attendant for Alaska Airlines in 1991. As the new merged MEC Human Rights and Equity Committee Chairperson, Chip will continue to promote activities that foster greater understanding of one another and the diversity of our membership to build bridges and strengthen our Union. He is also a sitting member of the AFA-CWA International Human Rights and Equity Committee. 

        Before joining Alaska Airlines, Chip was a Pan American Flight Attendant based at JFK. His life experiences and understanding of the world and its complexities created his passion for human rights and diversity. 

        When Chip is not working, he spends time with his husband, Ross, also a Seattle-based flight Attendant, and their family. He enjoys traveling, karaoke, and volunteering in the community. 

        Chase Vandergrift, MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson—Alaska Brand

        Chase started his career at Alaska as a Flight Attendant in 2005. A UCSD grad with a degree in media, he found his way to the skies shortly after college. When the San Diego base opened in 2013, he was thrilled to return to his college town. Over the years, he’s taken on roles that let him support and connect with his fellow crew members. He has served as the San Diego Chairperson of the Inflight Service Committee for nearly a decade and contributed to the AFA Scheduling Committee. He’s passionate about making the in-flight experience as smooth, friendly, and fun for crews as possible.

        A lifelong traveler, Chase grew up on the standby list—his mom was a United Flight Attendant who spent over four decades in the skies. That upbringing sparked a love for adventure and a curiosity for places off the beaten path. When he’s not flying for work, he’s often chasing powder on a ski trip or exploring somewhere unexpected—recent destinations include Kurdistan, and Moldova, Europe’s least-visited destination.

        Bianca McKee, MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson—Hawaiian Brand

        Bianca started her career as a Flight Attendant in 2015. Having been born and raised on Oʻahu, she pursued her higher education under the University of Hawaiʻi system, where she majored in Business and Travel Industry Management. Before joining Hawaiian Airlines, Bianca dedicated eight years to the restaurant industry, gaining experience in serving, bartending, and training new employees. Her enthusiasm for hospitality and dynamic work environments naturally led to a successful career as a Flight Attendant.

        Bianca’s involvement with Union work began in 2024 with Honolulu’s Council 43, where she joined the Medium Haul Service Committee for the new Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Through gathering feedback, the committee successfully implemented several changes to benefit AFA Members. Drawing on her extensive experience with the Dreamliner aircraft, Bianca further volunteered to serve on the Long Haul Service Committee with the company. Her participation in these committees, on both the Union and company sides, has provided her with a deep understanding of the complexities involved in tailoring inflight services. Bianca is highly motivated and committed to upholding the Hawaiian Brand as we move towards achieving a single operating certificate. She is eager to serve as a strong source of support for Union members during this period of new routes and evolving flight operations.
