Proportional Domicile Staffing
Originally posted August 22, 2022
The AFA Alaska MEC sent a letter to Alaska Airlines management last week advocating for growing each domicile proportionally via vacancy awards and new hire domicile assignments through 2023. We have all read and heard “we appreciate you” and “we care” in one form or another, but management must now demonstrate its values to do the right thing by turning those words into action. Management acknowledged receipt of the MEC’s letter and indicated they will respond early this week.
AFA Alaska Online Support Center Outage
Originally posted August 24, 2022
As we initially reported last Thursday, August 18, we are continuing to experience an outage to the AFA Alaska Online Support Center. Though we were initially advised by our hosting provider that the issue would resolve within 48 hours, that has not been the case and the website remains inoperable. The issue has been escalated with our hosting provider and we are continuing to monitor their progress. Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated time that the website will return to operation.
Scheduling Committee Meeting Recap – August 2022

Our AFA Scheduling Committee Chairpersons met on Tuesday, August 23 to discuss their ongoing program of work to represent Flight Attendants interests related to lineholder scheduling. The Committee also met with management to receive updates and discuss issues and problems that Flight Attendants are experiencing with scheduling, pairings, and bidding. Your Local Scheduling Committee is available to answer questions, provide clarification, or help to resolve any lineholder scheduling-related issues. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

We are pleased to report that the AFA Alaska Online Support Center (support.afaalaska.org) is now back online and fully operational. AFA representatives have started the process of reviewing outstanding tickets that were filed prior to the outage occurring last Thursday, August 18. If you filed a ticket prior to August 18th or after the system came back online today, your patience is greatly appreciated as our AFA volunteers begin to work through the backlog.
