        Upcoming 2022 AFA Board of Directors Meeting

        Originally posted May 9, 2022

        Members of our Master Executive Council (MEC) and other AFA Representatives will be attending the AFA Board of Directors (BOD) Meeting later this week.  The BOD meeting is where business affecting all AFA airlines is conducted.  Your LEC President is your representative at the BOD meeting and will be voting on your behalf regarding approval of the AFA International budget, proposed amendments to the AFA Constitution & Bylaws, and the election of AFA International Officers.  If you have any questions about the BOD meeting, submitted agenda items, or international officer elections, please contact your LEC President.

        The Saga Continues: June 2022 Bid Awards Delayed

        Originally posted May 11, 2022

        Due to hundreds of errors identified in the June bid packet, our MEC has insisted that management conduct a systemwide rebid.  Management sent a communication by company email to all Flight Attendants earlier today with details on the new bidding timeline, which opened today at 9 AM PDT and will now close at 9 AM PDT on Monday, May 16.  It is well past time for management to take ownership of their repeated errors, actually fix the problems, and honor our contract!
