        Tell Management: It’s Time To Make it Right!

        Originally posted May 18, 2022

        Our MEC will be approaching management this week to discuss a meaningful remedy to the recent bidding errors and delays.  We have heard loud and clear that Flight Attendants expect that any remedy will include an element of compensation in order to hold management accountable.  Stand in solidarity and support our MEC by sending management a letter telling them it’s time to make it right!

        Have You Written Your Letter to Management? 

        Have you and your flying partners written your letter to management yet?? 

        Let them know that we’re tired of:

        ❌ Meaningless apologies
        ❌ Empty promises to “do better”

        And let them know it’s time for:

        ✅ Management accountability
        ✅ A meaningful remedy with compensation for F/As

        Help get the word out and tell management that it’s time to make it right!!!

        Keep the Momentum Going!

        Thank you to everyone who has already written their letter to management telling them to Make it Right! We’ve made great progress but still have a ways to go to make sure management hears everyone’s voice! Help keep the momentum going by checking in with your friends and flying partners today to see if they’ve sent letters to management as well. Save this QR code, let your crew scan it, and they’ll be able to send their letter to management in less than two minutes.

        Let’s show management that we are one unified work group standing together in solidarity! It’s time for them to Make it Right!

        Negotiating Committee Listening Sessions Start Tomorrow

        Negotiating Committee Listening Sessions start tomorrow! Listening Sessions are your opportunity to meet with our Negotiating Committee in a small group setting and share your thoughts, ideas, experiences, or anything else on your mind about negotiations. There’s still space available to participate in many of next week’s sessions.  Register for a session today and get involved in the process—your voice matters!
