Mental Health Awareness Month
Originally posted May 9, 2023
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Our AFA EAP Committee wants to share a few reminders about mental health, mental illnesses, factors & causes, and available support. You can reach out to your local AFA EAP Committee Members for assistance in connecting with a professional or addressing concerns, for yourself or a loved one.

Our MEC Grievance Committee successfully settled three outstanding grievances related to COVID-19. Flight Attendants who received $200 from the Company for attesting to their vaccination status get to keep the payout. In some cases, Flight Attendant sick leave will be restored.
