• Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee is close to finalizing an agreement with management

Negotiations Update

Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee continues to work with management on the SEA domicile provisions. We are nearing a final agreement, with our priorities focused on ensuring that Flight Attendants who transfer have the right to return to their former domicile, as well as addressing staffing and other provisions that will protect Flight Attendants who transfer to the SEA domicile.

As you recall, our priorities were:

• Transfer Processes – strengthening protective elements of the transfer process for those who may be interested in moving to the new domicile
• Return to HNL or LAX Domicile – addressing the concern of Flight Attendants transferring to SEA and potentially wishing to return to their Hawaiian domicile before the merging of the Hawaiian and Alaska SEA domicile
• Staffing – ensuring that staffing is sufficient to meet operational demands
• Moving Expenses – advocating for fair and comprehensive compensation related to any necessary relocation
• Operational Concerns – defining the type of flying and pairings that will be constructed in the domicile
• Safeguarding Existing Bases – protecting our HNL and LAX domiciles during this transition

Even after the SEA Domicile Letter of Agreement is finalized, we anticipate that additional issues and concerns will arise as management moves forward with implementation, and we remain committed to addressing these matters. We are hopeful that we will be able to conclude these negotiations and share further updates with you by the end of the week.

As always, we remain committed to getting you, the Hawaiian Flight Attendants, the best protections for those of you considering transferring to the new domicile. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local leadership or email the SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee at sea@afahawaiian.org.

• Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee met with management on October 21 to October 24 in Seattle
• Our Negotiating Committee stressed the significance of having adequate resources and experience to ensure long-term success

Negotiations Update

Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee met with the company on October 21 to October 24 in Seattle. At the negotiating table for these meetings were:

Representing AFA and our Flight Attendants	Representing Management
Tim Green, Committee Chairperson	Allen Thieman, Vice President, Inflight, Alaska
Martin Gusman, Committee Member	Joe Wonderly, Vice President, Labor Relations, Alaska
Joshua Aoki, Committee Member	Carmen Williams, Managing Director, Labor Relations, Alaska
Jeffrey Fuke, Committee Member	Kalani Sloat, Senior Director, Labor Relations, Hawaiian
Paula Mastrangelo, AFA Senior Staff Negotiator	Karen Themelis, Senior Labor Relations Business Partner, Alaska
Lea Franzoi, Committee Support Representative

Talks continued this past week on reaching an agreement on opening the Hawaiian Seattle Domicile. After a disappointing session in Honolulu earlier this month, the parties agreed to carve out some time to continue discussions in Seattle between Joint Collective Bargaining negotiations. Your Negotiating Committee took advantage of all members being present for the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) negotiating in Seattle to meet with management in early morning sessions.

Fortunately, we did make progress and are very close to resolving the remaining outstanding issues. We have made progress on many of our issues, but staffing and the “new inflight service” concerns remain. We had a very open and productive discussion and look forward to hearing management’s response. They have committed to reviewing and researching our feedback on the service, as these are significant issues that will impact our work life on the plane.

Due to the essential and time-sensitive nature of these negotiations, both parties are committed to continuing discussions. The company is projecting a base opening of Spring 2026. We are looking to come to an agreement soon, as timelines for hiring, posting, and planning are approaching. Everyone involved wants Flight Attendants to have concrete information and ample time to evaluate their options and make an informed decision on the SEA base.

Despite the abbreviated timeline and pushback from management, your Negotiating Committee has been carefully considering all options and working to negotiate the most favorable improvements possible.

What’s Upcoming

Your Negotiating Committee will continue remote discussion with management the week of October 27. No formal meetings have been set, but management’s response to our concerns is expected this week.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your local leadership or email the SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee at sea@afahawaiian.org.
