Dear Flight Attendants,
The second phase of the follow up AFA negotiations survey by Hart Research Associates will begin this afternoon, Friday, April 25th. The first phase was a phone interview, which was capped at a limited number of respondants. The second phase is an online survey.
An email invitation from Hart Research Associates will be sent to all members for which the Master Executive Council (MEC) had an updated email address as of the beginning of the week. In order to prevent duplicate responses, Flight Attendants who completed the phone survey will be excluded.
Important: An individual link to the online survey will be sent in an email invitation by Hart Research Associates. The email address used by Hart for the invitations is FlightAttendantSurvey@hart-research.com. Please ensure this address is in your contact list so that your spam filter does not block the email or place it in your junk folder.
