The March 2022 Regular MEC Meeting was held this week on Tuesday, March 8. The meeting consisted of updates provided by our MEC Officers, LEC Presidents, Grievance Committee, and Scheduling Committee. Our MEC also reviewed written reports submitted by other AFA MEC Committee Chairpersons about their current programs of work.
Meeting with Management Cancelled
As part of this meeting, the MEC was scheduled to meet with company management and a group of union leaders from the other union-represented workgroups within the company. The intent of these meetings, usually held once per quarter, is to receive updates from management and allow for a broader discussion of issues and concerns facing all company employees. Unfortunately, management had to cancel the meeting due to scheduling conflicts.

Last month, Krystle Berry stepped down from the MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson position to allow her to focus on other responsibilities. The MEC thanks Krystle for her years of service in the position and commitment to our Flight Attendants. Krystle will continue to serve in her role as Council 39 Portland LEC Vice President.
