        New Reserve Committee Member

        Please join us in welcoming Bethany Gilbo to the Reserve Committee, effective February 12, 2014.  Bethany has been an Alaska Flight Attendant since December 2011 and was with Horizon prior to joining Alaska.  This is her first time being involved in a union position.  She is looking forward to helping Reserve Flight Attendants gain knowledge about their work group and contract while working to make the transition to their new career as easy and understandable as possible.

        The main purpose of the Reserve Committee is to help Flight Attendants to interpret and understand the reserve portion of the contract and serve as a liaison between Crew Scheduling and Flight Attendants holding a reserve schedule.  They may be contacted through the PDX AFA Hotline at (503) 396-4089, option 4 or through the AFA website at http://alaskamec.org/pdx/reserves.

        Yours In Solidarity,

        LEC President Cathy Gwynn, LEC Vice President Brian Palmer, and Local Reserve Committee Chairperson Hannah Winit
