Dear Fellow Flight Attendants:
On Thursday, May 9, the way that you contact your PDX AFA Representatives, Committee Members, and Officers will change. We are pleased to introduce an easy and accessible way to get ahold of your AFA Representatives when you need them—The PDX AFA Hotline. The PDX AFA Hotline will provide one contact telephone number that will help guide you to who you need to speak to and connect you automatically. No longer will you need to attempt to find contact information, reference committee lists, and guess who can best help you with a situation–everything will be contained within one telephone number.
Why Are We Making This Change?
Based on feedback from Flight Attendants, we learned that people have a difficult time knowing who is on a Committee, what their contact information is, and who to call about what. The PDX AFA Hotline makes contacting Committee Members and Officers easy by having one telephone number for every need. You will now need to save one telephone number and use it for whatever you might need.
What’s Going To Happen?
On Thursday, May 9, the PDX AFA Hotline will go live. You’ll receive an email from the LEC Officers with the new telephone number as well as a list of the options within the system so you can dial ahead. This list will also be posted on the AFA bulletin board in the PDX Inflight Office and on the AFA website at alaskamec.org/pdx.
In addition, new lanyard/wallet cards with the telephone number and options list will be distributed to mail files near the end of next week. This will provide an easy-to-reference reminder about the Hotline and will make it easy to dial ahead in the system if you’d like. The lanyard/wallet cards can also be used as a bag tag with the addition of a bag tag loop or rubber band (not provided)
Who Do I Contact If I Have Questions?
Any questions or feedback about the PDX AFA Hotline should be directed to LEC Vice President Brian Palmer (bpalmer@alaskamec.org).
We are excited to bring this new system to Portland and look forward to making your AFA Representatives easy-to-reach and more accessible to you!
In Solidarity,
Cathy & Brian
Your LEC Officers
