        Pre-Merger Alaska MEC Committee Election Results

        September 19, 2025 13:05

        This message is for pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants

        During this week’s MEC Meeting, our MEC held interviews for the first group of pre-merger Alaska MEC Committee positions to be elected for the upcoming MEC Officer term. 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 Grievance Committee Chairperson: Stephanie Adams
        MEC Grievance Committee Assistant: Bianca Dew
        MEC Grievance Committee Payroll Representatives: Julie Thornton, Orna Samuelly
        MEC Uniform Committee Chairperson: David Jelinek

        These newly elected MEC Committee Chairpersons and Representatives will carry out their respective roles specific to our six pre-merger Alaska Local Councils as we continue to navigate the merger process. They’ll begin the transition into their roles over the next few months, with their official term beginning on January 1, 2026. They will serve for the upcoming MEC Officer election cycle from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028.

        If you have any questions about the pre-merger Alaska MEC Committee elections, please reach out to your LEC President.
