        Meet Our Merged MEC Committee Chairpersons & Representatives

        October 22, 2025 09:00 Leave a Comment

        We’re excited to introduce our next group of newly elected merged MEC Committee Chairpersons, who will begin their roles on November 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.

        Seth Heiple, MEC Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Chairperson

        Seth Heiple started his Flight Attendant career in 1996 at Northwest Airlines and became an Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant in 2008.

        He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in International Business and Economics and is currently the MEC Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee (ASHSC) Chairperson for the pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants.

        In this role, Seth is dedicated to maintaining and improving the safety, health, and security of both the pre-merger Hawaiian and pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants. He intends to achieve this by supporting the merged ASHSC as it works to ensure the safety of our work environments and advocates for the necessary policies, procedures, and tools that allow us to fulfill our roles effectively as aviation’s first responders.

        Seth is based and lives in Portland, Oregon, with his roommate, grandma (98). In his free time, he enjoys walking Portland’s neighborhoods, listening to audiobooks, game nights with friends, and spending time with his extended family in Portland and San Francisco.

        Kerri Ruiz, MEC Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Vice Chairperson

        Kerri started her Flight Attendant career with Alaska Airlines in 1998 and then joined Hawaiian Airlines in 1999. She was based in Los Angeles for over 10 years and was an active member of the Local Air Safety, Health, and Security (ASHS) Committee. When she transferred to the Honolulu base, she held various AFA positions, including LEC Secretary, MEC Membership and Benefits Committee Chairperson, and, most recently, MEC ASHS Committee Chairperson. However, her affinity and forte have always been working in safety.

        Kerri has one daughter, several stepchildren, and several grandchildren. She enjoys traveling to new destinations with friends and family while nurturing her ties throughout the Hawaiian community.

        Brad Young, MEC Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Vice Chairperson

        Brad has been a San Francisco–based Flight Attendant since 2010. He began his career with Virgin America during its early years, when the airline operated just a few aircraft and served a limited number of destinations.

        His in-depth AFA involvement began when he was appointed the Local Safety Committee Chairperson for the AFA Alaska Council at the newly established SFO base following Alaska Airlines’ acquisition of Virgin America in 2017. Later that same year, he was elected to office, marking the start of his formal leadership within our Union.

        After being re-elected as Council Representative in 2019 and again in 2022, Brad continues to advocate for his peers with dedication and experience. He is enthusiastic about representing over 10,000 Flight Attendants as the combined Alaska/Hawaiian merger approaches Single Operating Certificate (SOC) in October 2025.

        Brad has also served as the MEC Air Safety, Health, and Security Committee (ASHSC) Vice Chairperson since 2018, where he holds primary responsibility for member representation in both the ASAP and Fatigue Review Board (FRB) programs. He is honored and humbled to have been elected to serve a third term as MEC ASHSC Vice Chairperson..

        Deb Wallstrom, MEC Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Air Quality Representative

        Deb began her career as a Flight Attendant with Alaska Airlines in 1998. She is currently based in Anchorage, though she has previously been based in Los Angeles and San Diego. In 2013, she became involved in AFA work with the Air Safety, Health, and Security Committee and is now the Chairperson for Council 30 (ANC) of the ASHSC. Additionally, she serves on the Benefits Committee. As the Air Quality Representative, Deb is dedicated to ensuring that Members are well-informed and is passionate about helping support Flight Attendants following an air quality event.

        Outside of work, Deb enjoys hiking, reading, and knitting. She frequently travels between Alaska, Seattle, and Southern California to visit family.

        Hotel Committee Meeting Recap – October 2025

        October 20, 2025 13:00 Leave a Comment

        On Monday, October 13, our AFA Local Hotel Committee Chairpersons met in person in Seattle to receive an update about current layover hotels and transportation providers and discuss concerns with management. Representing you at the meeting were Dori Marron (ANC), Jarod McNeill (SEA), Kelly Hepworth (PDX), Hilary Streem (SFO), Chris Cardenas (LAX), and Kanani Vallot (SAN), with MEC Hotel Committee Chairperson James Bozanich facilitating the meeting.

        The Committee met with Director of Crew Planning Trisha Bennett, Manager of Crew Hotels and Administration Diane Szubert, Senior Crew Hotels Support Specialist Nichole Turner and Crew Hotels Support Specialist LaFay Williams. Managing Director of Operational Staffing and Resource management Brittany Audette also joined for a portion of the meeting.    

        Our next meeting with management is scheduled for Monday, November 10.

        Topics of Discussion

        The committee reviewed several items during the meeting with management, most of which focused on hotel decisions and challenges in our layover markets. Some items discussed include:

        • Relationship Management: Although API is our hotel vendor, Crew Hotels is working on increasing direct communication with our contracted properties. This will help build relationships, especially with our newer properties. Crew Hotels will begin communicating with our new properties within six months of usage and perform yearly check-ins at all properties.   
        • Use of Ride Share Transportation:  Due to the changing nature of the ground transportation environment, the use of ride share vehicles is becoming more common. The Committee is aware of this and has been having ongoing discussions around minimum standards. Transportation should always be ordered that can accommodate all crewmembers and their luggage safely and comfortably. If there is ever a concern with the transportation provided, do not get into the vehicle and contact Crew Scheduling immediately to resolve the issue.    
        • TBDs in Bid Packet (pmAS):  There was a high number of TBDs in the bid packet for November. This is due to the process the Hotel Committee requested, which is to place a TBD placeholder in the pairing when the layover hotel is not known before uploading into NAVBLUE. This new process makes these layovers stand out more, but adds greater transparency to the bid. The November TBDs are all due to our rooms being over-capped (that is, the requested rooms are above the contracted usage at our crew hotel in that market) in that particular market. Our hotel usage fluctuates as our network is adjusted. 
        • Recurrent Training Hotel Support (pmAS): Earlier this month, a glitch in the reservation system at one of our training hotels resulted in lost reservations. As this happened over a weekend, it was unclear which Inflight department was responsible for offering support and correcting the issue. In debriefing the event, additional guidance will be added to the Recurrent Training SharePoint site to address who to contact with hotel issues outside regular business hours.  

        Hot Topics

        • Hotel Etiquette: We greatly value the positive relationships we’ve established with our contracted properties as part of our hotel program. During layovers, please remember that you represent the company while staying in a company-provided hotel room. We kindly ask all Flight Attendants to keep this in mind and ensure that any personal charges are settled before checkout. Enjoying hotel amenities responsibly also goes a long way in helping us maintain these important relationships. The Committee works hard to select quality hotels that provide added perks, such as complimentary breakfast, to enhance your comfort and convenience. If you encounter any issues during your stay, we encourage you to approach hotel staff with courtesy and respect. Should you need any further assistance or be unable to resolve a concern, please feel free to reach out to your Local Hotel Committee for additional support. We’re here to help make your layover experience a positive one!

        What The Committee Is Working On

        1. Conducting Hotel Site Visits: The Hotel Committee conducts visits to hotels that are under consideration by management to ensure that the selected options provide the safest and most comfortable layover experience for Flight Attendants. Crew Hotels has provided the Committee with the remaining cities that will be visited in 2025: SAN (Oct), CUN (Oct), BNA (Nov), SFO (Nov), MCO – Long Stay (Nov), ORD – Short Stay (Dec), and SJO (Dec). We are also looking at options in SIT and plan to have a site visit there before the end of the year. Market reviews are triggered by factors such as contract expirations, crew complaints, and opportunities for cost savings. Depending on the outcome of these reviews, additional site visits may be arranged in those cities.
        2. Hotel Gainshare Program: The parties met on September 26 to continue discussing this program. The items needing more time to research center around scheduling issues and processes. We are getting closer to seeing a program come to life. The next meeting is scheduled for October 24. 

        We Want to Hear From You!

        Our Hotel Committee relies on your feedback, whether positive or negative. Please report via CrewCare (pmAS) or the hotel and transportation feedback reporting form (pmHA), which ensures your experience with a layover hotel or ground transportation is addressed. These are the only official way to report issues, as the Committee does not monitor social media channels.

        Each CrewCare and feedback form submission is forwarded to our AFA Hotel Committee, Crew Hotels (Alaska/Hawaiian management), API, and the hotel or ground transportation provider. This ensures quick action can be taken to correct or fix the issue for the next crew member. It also allows us to monitor hotel and transportation trends. Pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants can quickly file a CrewCare report using the web app on your IMD home screen or by clicking here.

        Do you have any other feedback you would like to share with the Committee or any specific items you want us to bring up with management? Please let us know! Your Local Hotel Committee is here to represent you and ensure management hears your voice. You can find our contact information on the Hotel Committee page of the AFA Alaska website.

        Hawaiian Brand Inflight Service Committee Update – 3rd Quarter 2025

        October 15, 2025 09:00

        Our AFA Inflight Service Committee holds regular meetings and discussions with management to receive updates, address Flight Attendant concerns, and advocate for improvements in our workplace. Although our Inflight Service Committee has now merged, meetings with management continue to focus primarily on the Alaska or Hawaiian brands individually. This particular update is centered on the Hawaiian brand.

        As we move forward, the Committee remains dedicated to providing comprehensive updates on service for both the Alaska and Hawaiian brands. We aim to present this information in ways that reflect the distinct work being done for each brand, whether individually or collectively.

        Representing you in conversations with management is MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson—Hawaiian Brand Bianca McKee. Representing management are Senior Inflight Experience Program Manager Wendy Kong and Principal Product Manager Service Strategy Jesse Starmer.

        Development of the Boeing 787-9 Service

        The company put together a Medium Haul and Long Haul Focus Group to develop the inflight service prior to putting the 787 into service. Flight Attendant volunteers and AFA Representatives worked to evaluate and provide feedback to marketing and inflight service management. This included testing the service and catering to identify core issues and areas for improvement. The company Focus Groups continue to meet periodically to address continuing issues and to improve the effectiveness of the service. The Committee is actively involved in the Focus Groups while also meeting on a regular basis to address new and ongoing concerns.

        Key Highlights for 787-9 SEA International Service

        SEA-ICN

        • “Zone” to “Train”: To account for the standard crew of nine Flight Attendants, the main cabin is left with five Flight Attendants to complete main cabin service. The feedback we received was that servicing with an odd number of Flight Attendants resulted in lengthy service times, lopsided delivery, heavy Flight Attendant workload, and overly complicated cart set-up and breakdown. We have worked with management from servicing specific zones to serving from front-to-back in a train-style method. Train service was launched with the inaugural of SEA-ICN. We’ve since found areas for improvement, updates to the service flow are expected to be implemented on October 15. Please check the IFS website SEA-NRT/ICN Onboard Service for updates (HA login required).
        • Main Cabin Mid-Flight Sandwich Service: The Committee was unsuccessful at eliminating this service entirely. We were able to find a compromise with management by removing beverage refills on both SEA-ICN and ICN-SEA to allow for mid-flight service on the SEA-ICN leg. The mid-flight cold sandwich service will only occur on daytime operated departures. Diurnal (red eye) departures will have cold sandwich offerings available in the aft galley upon request.
        • Mid-Flight Sandwich Options: The Committee advocated for a one-option sandwich choice. Similar to our North America Medium Haul Service, vegetarian options are to be served upon request only.
        • Meal Service: Meal carts include racks for entree loading and meals will no longer need to be loaded on to individual TSUs.
        • Main Cabin 1st Meal Service: Starting October 15, TSUs will no longer be double stacked.
        • Main Cabin 2nd Meal Service: We have received numerous reports regarding the ineffectiveness of the quarter-meal tray. The negative feedback included flimsy trays, difficulty to load and reach, did not link to each other, and would get stuck on the cart stabilizer. The Committee has suggested transitioning back to a “bagged” meal service or to source a more effective tray. Management is working with their supplier to source new trays with a delivery date of early 2026.

        SEA-NRT

        • Transition from the A330 to 787: Zone-style service will continue on the A330 until the route transitions to the 787 in January (subject to change).
        • Main Cabin 1st Meal Service: Despite evaluating several other options, we were unable to eliminate the double-stacked TSU’s. Primarily due to space constraints.
        • Mid-Flight Ice Cream Service: The ice cream service was moved to mid-flight on daytime operated departures to align with SEA-ICN service flow. In alignment with SEA-ICN, beverage refills were removed.
        • Main Cabin 2nd Meal Service: Parallel to the SEA-ICN, management is working to source a new quarter-meal tray with a delivery date of early 2026. Meal carts include racks for entree loading to alleviate set up time. Meals will no longer need to be loaded on to individual TSU’s.
        • Diurnal (red-eye) Service Flow (NRT-SEA only): With the elimination of the first beverage service, the first meal service is to commence after take-off followed by hand delivered ice cream.

        Other Service Updates

        Hawaiian Catering to migrate to the Alaska IFX System

        • Catering Change Requests: On hold until February 1, 2026, unless service flow changes are deemed necessary or a safety concern is identified.
        • December Domestic & South Pacific Menu Change: On hold. The current menu will run until January 31, 2026.
        • New Cart Diagram & Carrier Tags: Will go live on November 5 for domestic flights and December 10 for international flights. Please follow the IFS website Catering and Service for details (HA login required).

        Pre-Recorded Announcements (PRAM)

        • 787 Pre-Recorded Announcements: in progress, target date early 2026
        • Digital Agriculture Form Announcement: in progress

        Extra Comfort to change to “Premium Class”

        • Premium Class: Seats previously designated Extra Comfort will be sold as “Premium Class” starting on October 14. Please follow the IFS website for details.
        • Headrest: All HA metal Extra Comfort headrests will be replaced with a Premium Class headrest.
        • Retrofit Chart: The Committee has requested to have a retrofit chart posted on the Aircraft Initiatives page on the FS website once retrofit begins (HA login required).
        • Premium Class: To launch on HA flights in April 2026. Information has been shared to the public on Alaska Air News Hub and on the IFS website (HA login required).

        Beverage Updates

        • Mai Tai Predeparture Box: Options are being explored to have pre-departure mai tais available in a larger format as opposed to individual mini bottles. 
        • Juice Boxes: Will be returning in early 2026.

        Turbulence Awareness

        • Safety First: As we enter the winter season, please feel empowered to put your safety first. No onboard service should be held above Flight Attendant safety. Continue to Intelex service deviations and safety concerns.

        Continued Discussion with Management

        The Committee meets with management monthly to discuss ongoing concerns and new developments. We are actively engaging in conversations with management to address staffing issues, which have been identified as a primary concern by Flight Attendants. 

        As we navigate through challenging transitions under new management, it becomes increasingly important to drive changes through reporting. Please continue to submit Intelex Reports regarding any service issues.  Issues with catering can be submitted by email to ha.catering@hawaiianair.com. 

        The Committee is committed to advocating for Flight Attendants by driving positive change for inflight services. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your LEC Officers and our Inflight Service Committee at inflightservice@afaalaska.org.
