Master Executive Council (MEC)
- On April 26, our AFA International President convened a virtual meeting with the Alaska and Hawaiian Master Executive Councils (MECs).
- The group met to review progress on the demands set by the MECs’ previous unanimously adopted resolution. While there has been progress, the first demand — an industry-leading AFA Alaska contract — has not been met.
- The group passed a resolution extending the deadline for determining our support, opposition, or neutrality to the merger. The Alaska and Hawaiian MECs will reconvene the week of May 20th to evaluate conditions and review management’s action/inaction to review our position.

Alaska Airlines as a company has top leading attorneys working for them concerning our award winning contract. Who exactly are our top leading attorneys? We certainly pay monthly for AFA to be able to afford top lawyers. This is an important contract and we need to “battle” on equal footing.
Respectfully,
Sarah
