        Scheduling Committee Meeting Recap – December 2023

        Originally posted December 28, 2023

        Our AFA Scheduling Committee Chairpersons met on Tuesday, December 26 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!

        Survival

        Could you survive on $26,946 annually? This is only one of the reasons Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants are voting to authorize a strike. We are asking management, if they couldn’t live on these wages, why do they expect their hard-working Flight Attendants to do so?
