This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants
- Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee is close to finalizing an agreement with management
Negotiations Update
Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee continues to work with management on the SEA domicile provisions. We are nearing a final agreement, with our priorities focused on ensuring that Flight Attendants who transfer have the right to return to their former domicile, as well as addressing staffing and other provisions that will protect Flight Attendants who transfer to the SEA domicile.
As you recall, our priorities were:
- Transfer Processes – strengthening protective elements of the transfer process for those who may be interested in moving to the new domicile
- Return to HNL or LAX Domicile – addressing the concern of Flight Attendants transferring to SEA and potentially wishing to return to their Hawaiian domicile before the merging of the Hawaiian and Alaska SEA domicile
- Staffing – ensuring that staffing is sufficient to meet operational demands
- Moving Expenses – advocating for fair and comprehensive compensation related to any necessary relocation
- Operational Concerns – defining the type of flying and pairings that will be constructed in the domicile
- Safeguarding Existing Bases – protecting our HNL and LAX domiciles during this transition
Even after the SEA Domicile Letter of Agreement is finalized, we anticipate that additional issues and concerns will arise as management moves forward with implementation, and we remain committed to addressing these matters. We are hopeful that we will be able to conclude these negotiations and share further updates with you by the end of the week.
As always, we remain committed to getting you, the Hawaiian Flight Attendants, the best protections for those of you considering transferring to the new domicile. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local leadership or email the SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee at sea@afahawaiian.org.
