Hotel Committee Meeting Recap – 1st Quarter 2024
Originally posted February 6, 2024
On February 1, our AFA Hotel Committee Chairpersons met to discuss their ongoing work to protect and improve the quality of hotel accommodations and ground transportation providers for Flight Attendants. The Committee met with management and representatives from the company’s crew accommodations vendor to discuss current trends and concerns regarding layover hotels and transportation. If you encounter problems or have positive feedback about hotels or transportation, please report it through CrewCare. Your feedback is crucial as it provides the Committee with essential data to support keeping high-quality hotels and push for change when conditions are unacceptable.

Alaska & Hawaiian MECs Meet To Discuss Proposed Merger
Originally posted February 6, 2024
On February 2, our AFA International President held a Constitutional Section X Merger meeting with the Alaska and Hawaiian Master Executive Councils (MECs) in Los Angeles. The Flight Attendant leadership from both airlines unanimously passed a resolution that sets clear demands to management for what is required if our Union is to support, rather than oppose, this merger. The Alaska and Hawaiian MECs will reconvene on March 25 for a status update and again on April 26 to review management’s action/inaction to determine whether our Union will support or oppose the proposed merger.

This week was our second Mediation session with management and the mediator assigned by the National Mediation Board. We made progress on several outstanding provisions, including a tentative agreement on Section 9: Junior Available and Premium Open Time. Our next Mediation session is scheduled for April, and both parties plan to meet separately in March to prepare for future discussions.
