Krystle Berry

LEC President

Krystle has been a Flight Attendant at Alaska Airlines since 2006. With more than 15 years of volunteer service within our Union, she has held a variety of leadership positions. She served three terms as the AFA Vice President for Council 39 in Portland. She served as the Local Mobilization Chairperson for Council 19 during the 2014 contract negotiations and completed two terms as the MEC Government Affairs Committee Chairperson. In addition, she has held positions representing Flight Attendants within both the CWA and the AFL-CIO.

She carries with her the knowledge, passion, commitment, and dedication instilled over the last 15 years by remarkable mentors and activists. In the early days of her activism, while lobbying on Capitol Hill to prevent knives from being allowed back into aircraft cabins, a mentor helped her find her voice and recognize her strength and purpose. That experience continues to guide her work and commitment to the Flight Attendant group today.

It is with deep gratitude and great honor that she has been elected to serve as the next Council 39 LEC President. It is a privilege and responsibility she takes very seriously, and she will continue to be the advocate and fighter members have come to know her as.

Krystle lives in the foothills of Mount St. Helens with her husband and young son. She enjoys outdoor activities, including daily walks with their lovable Labrador, fishing, hiking, traveling, and spending time appreciating the beauty of the PNW.
