    LEC Vice President Melinda Jorge

    Melinda was born in a small town in Northern California.  Her family owned 80 acres of ranch land where she spent time riding horses, taking care of animals, and spent numerous hours outside enjoying life with her brothers… Later she moved to the Seattle area in 1987, where she attended Highline Community College.   After that she began her career with AAG in 1992.  In 2000 she started her Flight Attendant career at Alaska, and has always been based in Seattle.  During her career as a flight attendant Melinda has been involved with the Reserve Committee and was a Mentor for New Hire Flight Attendants.  She has served on the Voice Committee, and is a current member of the Seattle Scheduling Committee.

    Melinda is most proud of her four boys who range in age from 20 – 34.  She’s involved in rescue and foster work for animals without homes…  She loves the great outdoors, hiking, camping, road trips, most sports and travel in general.  She hopes to be a role model using compassion and wisdom in her role as Council 19 LEC Vice President.
