        Introducing Your MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson

        July 25, 2016 08:00

        Your Master Executive Council (MEC) conducted interviews last week for the position of MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson.  We would like to thank the candidates who expressed a willingness to serve and interviewed for the position.  After thorough consideration, the MEC has appointed Krystle Cook to the position.

        Krystle’s career with Alaska began in February 2007 in Anchorage.  It was here she called home for seven years.  Three of those years she was extremely active volunteering her time on various committees.  In 2014, Krystle made the move and transferred, back home, to the greater Seattle area and was appointed the SEA Local Government Affairs Chairperson.

        Together with AFA activists, she has worked tirelessly to prevent knives from being allowed in the cabin of our aircrafts, lobbied to stop voice calls by passengers in flight, and is pushing members of Congress to enact 10-hour minimum rest rules and a fatigue risk management plan for all Flight Attendants.

        She is the first and only representative of the Association of Flight Attendants to sit on two different young worker committees.  Krystle is the AFA Lead Activist for the CWA Next Generation Program and a committee member of the AFL-CIO Young Worker Advisory Council.  Both of these committees focus on issues that are directly affecting workers under the age of 36.  These committees focus on issues such as student debt, economic struggles, racial injustices, and leadership development and trainings.

        Krystle says, “”I am beyond honored to continue to fight for Alaska flight attendants, and all AFA members, as well as working people across the country.  My passion for social and economic justice will be a driving force in ensuring we have the safest and best work environment possible.”

        In her role as MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson, Krystle will work closely with the Local Government Affairs Committee Chairpersons and the AFA International Government Affairs department to represent and advocate for Flight Attendants.  Her term of appointment is concurrent with the term of the MEC Officers and she reports directly to the MEC

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Yvette Satterlee, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Tim Green and Brice McGee
