        Introducing Your MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson

        April 14, 2016 18:00

        Your Master Executive Council (MEC) conducted interviews this week for the position of MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson.  We would like to thank the eight candidates who expressed a willingness to serve and interviewed for the position.  After thorough consideration, the MEC has appointed Stephanie Garnett to the position.

        Stephanie is a Seattle-based flight attendant and she has just completed her 17th year with Alaska Airlines.  Previously she was a stewardess for Pan American.

        Stephanie is a graduate of Washington State University with a degree in mathematics.  She has been a member of the Inflight Service Committee in Seattle for about 10 years and has also served on the Air Safety, Health, and Security Committee in Seattle for the last 4 years.

        As a part her committee work, Stephanie has had the opportunity to work on some interesting projects including creating the packing for the universal juice drawer, working on the universal aisle cart packing and most recently researching the Space Bins.  She is also a SOAR award winner.

        Stephanie has been married to her husband Dan for almost 45 years.  They have two sons who are married and have given them five grandchildren.  Dan and Stephanie have recently adopted 2 kittens to fill their empty nest.

        In her role as MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson, Stephanie will work closely with the Local Inflight Service Committee Chairpersons and inflight management to represent and advocate for Flight Attendants in all areas related to onboard sales and service.  Her term of appointment is concurrent with the term of the MEC Officers and she reports directly to the MEC.

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Yvette Satterlee, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Sandra Morrow and Stephen Couckuyt
