This message is for both pre-merger Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendants
During this week’s MEC Meeting, our MEC held interviews for the first group of merged MEC Committee Chairpersons. We want to thank everyone who expressed interest in the available positions and their willingness to serve. After careful consideration and deliberation, the following candidates have been elected:
MEC Communications Committee Chairperson: Brian Palmer
MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson: Bruni Agosto-Pinal
MEC Human Rights Committee Chairperson: Chip Hestle
MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson—Alaska Brand: Chase Vandergrift
MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson—Hawaiian Brand: Bianca McKee
These newly elected MEC Committee Chairpersons will coordinate the activities of their respective merged committees across both airlines. They’ll support the Local Committee Chairpersons from all eight Local Councils—both pre-merger Alaska and pre-merger Hawaiian. Their official term will begin on June 1, 2025. They’ll serve for the remainder of the current MEC Officer election cycle (January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025), as well as for the upcoming cycle (January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028).
If you have any questions about the MEC Committee Chairperson elections, please reach out to your LEC President.
