Master Executive Council (MEC)
AFA Representatives have been informed that several flights experienced severe turbulence yesterday, resulting in injuries to some Flight Attendants. Since then, various AFA officers and committee members have been actively working with inflight management to ensure that all affected Flight Attendants receive the necessary care and that all contractual provisions are upheld.
We want to recognize the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by our outstanding crews in handling these challenging situations. These events highlight the role of Flight Attendants as safety professionals and first responders onboard the aircraft. AFA Representatives are providing support to all Flight Attendants affected by these incidents.
As a reminder, detailed information about turbulence and procedures for responding to different levels of turbulence can be found in Section 2.400 of the Flight Attendant Manual. Regularly reviewing this information is beneficial for ensuring your safety and that of your fellow crew members and passengers.
Additionally, our AFA Employee Assistance Program (EAP)/Professional Standards Committee is available to provide support whenever needed. Please feel free to reach out at (949) 470-0493 or find contact information at afaalaska.org/eap.
