        The survey is open now and will close on Friday, August 19th at 12 PM (noon) Pacific Time.  As we prepare for upcoming contract negotiations, we ask that you take the time to complete this survey.  Your participation is very important because your responses will be used by your AFA Negotiating Committee to develop the strategy and priorities/objectives for bargaining. We need to know your priorities, so the time you spend in completing the survey will make a difference in shaping our collective future as Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants.
