        Upcoming AFA Alaska Phone and Email Outages

        Originally posted March 18, 2025

        We’re working to combine some communication systems with AFA Hawaiian this week, which will result in some disruptions. Starting March 18 at 5 PM PT, AFA Alaska phone lines will be offline until early next week. Email systems will also be unavailable from March 21 at 5 PM PT until March 24. During this time, use alternative contact methods like direct phone numbers from the AFA Alaska website for LEC Officers and Committees.

        Joint Contract Negotiations Begin

        Originally posted March 21, 2025

        Our Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) has started negotiations for the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) that will cover both Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendants. Initial discussions focused on less controversial sections, with tentative agreements reached on several areas. To make sure everyone’s voice is heard, we’ll be sending out surveys to gather Member feedback on targeted issues as the process moves along.
