The drastic changes to April flying have resulted in an unprecedented number of ongoing systemwide disruptions to Flight Attendant schedules: pre-cancellations, flight time changes (“re-times”), flight routing changes, et cetera.

Unfortunately I’m flying tmrw, the 2nd, for our meet & greet event. Although, why attend Andy’s social event. Personally, I choose to refuse to participate in any of these ‘feel good’ events, until we have a new contract for our FA group!! Why would any of us want to attend???
Laura Masserant (SEA LEC President) says
Hi Terri,
In June Council 19 also hosted a meeting prior to Andy’s Town Hall. The purpose for these meetings is simple: It provides Flight Attendants a forum to discuss their concerns with the management team. How else is Andy, or any member of management, going to understand our concerns if we don’t share them? In the June session the company’s negotiation team attended the Town Hall and the Flight Attendants did not hold back! The Town Hall forum is separate from the Social Hour and many Flight Attendants chose to attend the Town Hall, but not the Social Hour. I highly encourage Flight Attendants to come to the event tomorrow, get their RED HOT AFA t-shirt, and show the company our solidarity! Ask them your questions, share your comments, and let them know why we deserve a contract that values the work we do every day!
