Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

  • Our Hawaiian Seattle Domicile Negotiating Committee has reached an agreement with management
  • The Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement (SEA LOA) has been ratified by the Hawaiian voting members of the Master Executive Council (MEC) per the AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws
  • The Seattle domicile is planned to open in April 2026 and Hawaiian Flight Attendants are encouraged to review the SEA LOA and attend virtual roadshows

Agreement Reached

After months of negotiations following the Seattle domicile announcement, AFA and management have reached an agreement establishing the Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Letter of Agreement (SEA LOA).  The SEA LOA provides an orderly process for establishing the base and enhanced contractual provisions that will protect Hawaiian Flight Attendants. 

Per AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws, Section IV, the Hawaiian voting members of our Master Executive Council (MEC) have ratified the SEA LOA. MEC ratification of this LOA is in line with our history of establishing new domiciles outside of Section 6 negotiations. Letters of Agreement considered for membership ratification include issues that affect the vast majority of our Flight Attendants including new aircraft type negotiations and restructuring agreements to avoid bankruptcy or as a part of bankruptcy. We would like to emphasize that the SEA LOA contains only improvements to our current contract provisions.

Management is preparing to open the SEA domicile in April 2026. Flight Attendants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the enhanced contractual provisions secured by your AFA Negotiating Committee. Please review the SEA LOA and the Question and Answer (Q & A)to answer your immediate questions.

More information will be forthcoming in addition to virtual roadshows that the Negotiating Committee will be hosting. We ensured that there is adequate time between this announcement and the first vacancy bid closing for Flight Attendants to evaluate whether they would like to submit a vacancy bid for the Seattle domicile.  For any questions not answered in this Q & A, please email the Negotiating Committee at sea@hawaiianafa.org. We will continue to update the FAQ and post more information as it becomes available.

Vacancy Bid

  • OPEN: December 15, 2025
  • CLOSE: January 12, 2026
  • AWARD: January 14, 2026

Please check your company email for details. Information will also be posted to the company IFS website.
