        Council #19 – Base Update

        We have a few base events and some changes to procedures that are worth a reminder. 

        Supplemental Benefits Open Enrollment

        From September 9th-13th, National Group Protection will be visiting Seattle. This is the yearly open enrollment period with the group that provides supplemental benefits for AFA-CWA Flight Attendants. Time and location will be available shortly. 

        Retirement Planning Session – Seattle

        We have had a number of Council #19 Flight Attendants retire over the last few years. Vanguard has a wealth of planning information and resources available through the website, including one-on-one phone appointments. We have also been asked if  ‘in-person’ seminars are available. The Alaska Air Group Credit Union has scheduled seminars over the next few weeks. The information below includes a link for registration. The seminar will be provided by the Oppenheimer Investment Group.

        September 12th, 1:00PM

        Alaska Air Group Credit Union – Seattle Branch

        19530 International Blvd S, Suite 108. SeaTac, WA 98188

        Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Negotiations – March 2026 Update

        March 2, 2026

        Management currently requires Flight Attendants to provide proof of relocation to receive the flat-rate moving expense, a policy that the AFA is formally challenging through the grievance process. While this dispute is ongoing, Flight Attendants able to submit proof of relocation must submit two forms of documentation, such as a lease or updated driver’s license, within 60 days of transfer if they wish to be paid under management’s terms. The union continues to advocate for a fairer process and encourages members to keep records of all related interactions.
