New AFA Pin at Alaska Airlines!

April 11, 2013

  Dear Flight Attendants,

  The Master Executive Council (MEC) is pleased to announce that we passed a resolution to change the appearance of our AFA pin at Alaska Airlines. As a sign of solidarity with the Negotiating Committee, the AFA pin will be worn in combination with a 1 1/4” diameter dark green pin “backer” that reads “SHOW US THE MONEY” in white font. The pin backers are being distributed effective today. Please contact a VOICE committee member or AFA officer to receive a backer and special instructions for wearing it. A higher resolution photo of the new pin may be found linked below in ‘References.’

 The next negotiations session is scheduled for next week: April 15-18, 2013, in which we expect management to respond to AFA’s comprehensive proposal and show us the money!

In solidarity,

Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Terry Taylor, Yvette Gesch, Melanie Buker, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn and Sandra Morrow

   Your Negotiating Committee – MEC President Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Tracy, Karina Cameron-Fetters, Jake Jones and AFA Staff Negotiator Paula Mastrangelo

   Your VOICE Committee – Adam Clarey, Lisa Pinkston, Shannon Hyde, Shawn Grill, Stacey Uebelhor and all the men and women who help get out the word

 “Five Bases, One Voice”

Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Meeting Recap – 1st Quarter 2022

Our AFA Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee (ASHSC) Chairpersons met on Thursday, January 13 to discuss their ongoing program of work to represent Flight Attendants interests related to safety, health, and security in our workplace. The Committee also met with management to receive updates and discuss issues and problems that Flight Attendants are facing onboard the aircraft. Reporting safety concerns is more important than ever given the challenges we are currently facing as a work group.  Flight Attendant Irregularity Reports (FAIR), Aviation Safety Action Reports (ASAP), and fatigue reports can all be filed through Report It!  Please contact a member of your Local ASHSC if you need assistance.

Grievance Committee Update – 3rd and 4th Quarters 2021

Our Grievance Committee works to protect all Flight Attendants from arbitrary and unjust disciplinary action and to uphold our collective bargaining agreement.  This update provides a short summary of the committee’s work over the past two quarters. Management has issued discipline lately for a variety of reasons.  Read on for more information about the reasons why management is disciplining and terminating Flight Attendants. If you’ve faced a situation that you believe might be a contractual violation, please report the issue through the AFA Online Support Center.  AFA Representatives review each report submitted and will follow up to help you determine options and a course of action. 

Recurrent Training 2022

The 2022 Recurrent Training (RT) program is underway at all training locations.  Read on for information about preflight oral evaluations and acceptable deviations to emergency evacuations commands. For those who are attending RT in Seattle, be aware that the training facility has moved this year.  Check the RT website for information about the new location, directions, and parking. Safety measures such as continued social distancing and HEPA filtration systems in RT classrooms will be in place as a result of AFA advocacy.  These measures should be in place as of January 12. 

Human Rights Committee Meeting Recap – 4th Quarter 2021 (Rescheduled)

Our AFA Human Rights Committee Chairpersons met on Tuesday, January 11 to discuss their ongoing program of work to advance human rights within our workplace and community. The Committee also met with management to receive updates on what progress has been made on concerns that had been previously brought forward and address new concerns that have been brought forward.  The meeting with management was originally scheduled to be held on December 6 but was cancelled at the last minute due to inflight management changes that took place at around the same time. If you have ideas, thoughts, or feedback for the committee, your Local Human Rights Committee Chairperson would love to hear from you!
