    Stay In The Loop: Manage Your AFA Newsletter Subscription

    July 25, 2018 19:00

    As a reminder, AFA representation for Legacy Virgin America (L-VX) Flight Attendants will shift on August 1.  LAX-based Flight Attendants will move to AFA Council 18, the currently established Local Council that represents Legacy Alaska (L-AS) Flight Attendants based at LAX. Going forward, AFA Council 35 will only represent SFO-based Flight Attendants.

    The AFA newsletter system allows Flight Attendants to manage their own account and subscribe to the AFA Local Council(s) of her/his choosing.  L-VX Flight Attendants who are LAX-based might wish to subscribe to Council 18 AFA email newsletters to ensure that they receive correct Local Council emails and up-to-date information.  Additionally, the manage subscription function can be used to make changes in the event of a base transfer.

    How To Manage Your Subscription

    To manage your subscription, click “manage your subscription” link at the bottom of your email. To ensure security, this is the only way to access the subscription management page.

    Once on the subscription management page, check the box for the AFA Local Council(s) you would like to subscribe to emails from.  At the bottom of the page are fields to update personal subscription information (name, email address, airline, base, and employee/PeopleSoft number). After making changes, click the blue “submit” button at the bottom of the page to save any changes.

    Questions?

    If you have any questions or need assistance with your AFA newsletter subscription, please contact your LEC Officers.  If LAX-based, email lax@afaalaska.org; if SFO-based, email sfo@afaalaska.org.

    [L-VX] Introducing Your MEC Scheduling Committee Vice Chairperson – Legacy Virgin America

    June 15, 2018 12:00

    This message is for pre-merger Virgin America Flight Attendants

    Your Council 18 and 35 Presidents as well as other members of your Master Executive Council (MEC) conducted interviews earlier this month for the new MEC Scheduling Committee Vice Chairperson—Legacy Virgin America position. The MEC would like to thank the candidates who demonstrated willingness to represent our Flight Attendants. After thorough deliberation, SFO-based Flight Attendant Bianca Dew has been appointed to the position.

    About Bianca

    Bianca began her position with Virgin America in 2015 as an SFO-based Inflight Teammate, which is also where she is currently based. After working on the line for some time Bianca upgraded to the role of an Inflight Team Lead, then proceeded to gain some more working knowledge as a Flight Attendant before upgrading to an Air Transportation Supervisor. Prior to coming to Virgin America, Bianca earned her AA in Behavioral Science and a BS in Kinesiology. Her previous role before becoming a flight attendant, was in finance as a mortgage loan specialist/banker. Bianca currently resides in Washington and in her free time she enjoys hiking, reading, a variety of outdoor activities, and traveling.

    About The Position

    The MEC Scheduling Committee Vice Chairperson – Legacy Virgin America works under the umbrella of the MEC Scheduling Committee and is responsible for working with management to advocate for Flight Attendant interests in all matter pertaining to Legacy Virgin America Flight Attendant schedules.  Additional information about the position can be found by clicking here.
