        AFA Listening Tour: First Stop LAX

        January 27, 2017 05:00

        AFA Listening Tour – LAX

        We are launching an AFA Listening Tour this winter and spring with Local, MEC and International Officers. We want to hear from you!

        Our union is not an institution. It’s you and me and all of aviation’s first responders. To ensure our union is reflecting the needs and hopes of Flight Attendants today, these meetings seek to gather your questions, concerns and ideas.

        Our first meeting is scheduled for February 16, 2017, in Los Angeles where we have Local Councils at Alaska, Compass, Hawaiian, and United. In addition to our International Officers, we’ll have Local and MEC Presidents from all four airlines to ensure we can address any issue. All Flight Attendants are welcome!

        First Listening Tour Meeting: Los Angeles
        February 16, 2017
        11 am- 2 pm

        Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel
        6101 West Century Boulevard
        Los Angeles, CA, 90045

        RSVP HERE >

        AFA Officers Scheduled to Attend:

        Timothy Green, AFA Alaska Council 18 President
