Master Executive Council (MEC)
- Our AFA Alaska Master Executive Council (MEC) met on Tuesday, November 14, to conduct their ongoing work to represent our Flight Attendants.
- In solidarity with our Negotiating Committee, the MEC canceled the planned meeting with management.
- The next regular MEC Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 5, and Wednesday, December 6.
Our MEC held its regular meeting for November 2023 on Tuesday, November 14. The MEC Officers, LEC Presidents, Grievance Committee, and Scheduling Committee provided updates during the meeting. The MEC also reviewed written reports from other AFA MEC Committee Chairpersons regarding their ongoing work.
Meeting with Management
Our MEC was initially scheduled to have a meeting with management this month. However, it was decided to cancel the meeting to show our full support for the Negotiating Committee’s decision to cancel the November negotiations session. This decision was made in response to management’s insulting proposals at the bargaining table. Instead of the meeting, the time was utilized to discuss contract negotiations and strategize our mobilization efforts.
Contract Negotiations and Mobilization
Our MEC had a productive meeting with the Negotiating Committee and MEC Mobilization Committee Chairperson to discuss yesterday’s direct passenger outreach preparations and our upcoming Day of Solidarity informational picketing. We are confident about plans for the December 19 event, and our Negotiating Committee is counting on us to show up and join the picket lines. We also had an in-depth discussion about plans for other forthcoming mobilization activities yet to be announced.
Questions?
If you have any questions about this month’s regular MEC Meeting, please get in touch with your LEC President.

Should we be suggesting passengers contact alaskalistens for questions about negotiations? They won’t get the truth there…
Brian Palmer (MEC Vice President) says
Since we cannot discuss negotiations with passengers while on duty, sending them to Alaska Listens is intended to let them send messages of support for us to management. Example: “I’m not allowed to discuss contract negotiations on the airplane, but it would be great if you could leave a message of support for us on Alaska Listens.”
