Onboard Service Reductions
Originally posted January 8, 2022
Our AFA Representatives have been successful in getting management to agree to additional onboard service reductions in light of the current spike of COVID-19 cases nationwide. Any flight currently scheduled for more than one beverage service will be reduced to only one service regardless of the length of the flight. Additional reductions include changes to the food pre-order system based depending on the length of the flight. Changes take effect today and are scheduled to be in place through January 31, 2022. As always, please continue to report any safety-related issues with onboard service using a Flight Attendant Irregularity Report (FAIR) in ReportIt! Please report any catering issues using the catering feedback function in Block2Block. Management needs to hear about the challenges we’re facing!
Human Rights Committee Meeting Recap – 4th Quarter 2021 (Rescheduled)
Originally posted January 12, 2022
Our AFA Human Rights Committee Chairpersons met on Tuesday, January 11 to discuss their ongoing program of work to advance human rights within our workplace and community. The Committee also met with management to receive updates on what progress has been made on concerns that had been previously brought forward and address new concerns that have been brought forward. The meeting with management was originally scheduled to be held on December 6 but was cancelled at the last minute due to inflight management changes that took place at around the same time. If you have ideas, thoughts, or feedback for the committee, your Local Human Rights Committee Chairperson would love to hear from you!

The 2022 Recurrent Training (RT) program is underway at all training locations. Read on for information about preflight oral evaluations and acceptable deviations to emergency evacuations commands. For those who are attending RT in Seattle, be aware that the training facility has moved this year. Check the RT website for information about the new location, directions, and parking. Safety measures such as continued social distancing and HEPA filtration systems in RT classrooms will be in place as a result of AFA advocacy. These measures should be in place as of January 12.
