Inflight Service Chair Selected – Kekai Lum

Aloha Seattle ‘Ohana,

The Council 47 Officers are pleased to announce the appointment of Kekai Lum as our new Inflight Service Committee Chair – SEA Focus.

Yesterday, we concluded our interview and selection process for this position. We were encouraged by the strong interest from the Membership, with seven Members submitting applications to serve in this role. We appreciate everyone who took the time to apply and participate in the process.

Kekai brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position. In addition to his years of service at Hawaiian Airlines, he is also a former Aloha Airlines Flight Attendant. As a high flyer, he has extensive experience working a variety of routes and is well-versed in both Business Class and Main Cabin service positions. His broad operational experience and firsthand understanding of our onboard service make him well-positioned to represent the interests of our Members in Seattle.

As Inflight Service Committee Chair, Kekai will serve as a resource for Members on service-related matters, work closely with the MEC and Local Inflight Service Committee, and help ensure the perspectives of the SEA Flight Attendants are represented as our 787 service continues to evolve.

Please join us in welcoming Kekai to the Council 47 team and congratulating him on his appointment.

Mahalo,

Action Required: Invalidate and Confirm Your Hawaiian Airlines ID Badge

Aloha Council 47 Members,

We want to remind all former Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendant badge holders that the company continues to require the invalidation of Hawaiian Airlines ID badges in accordance with TSA requirements.

The company has advised that approximately 415 directives have been issued to Flight Attendants between all three domiciles who have not yet surrendered their HA ID badge or provided proof that the badge has been properly invalidated. Flight Attendants who have not completed this requirement may be at risk of missing the directive deadline and could be subject to further disciplinary action.

To comply with the directive, Flight Attendants should ensure their Hawaiian Airlines ID badge has been invalidated by punching two holes in the expiration date:

• One hole through the expiration month
• One hole through the expiration year

If you have already invalidated your badge but have not yet provided proof, please submit a photo clearly showing the badge with both hole punches visible.

It was brought to our attention that some Flight Attendants who previously invalidated their badges, either on their own or with the assistance of management, may have received a directive in error. After discussing this issue with management, the company acknowledged there were instances where invalidated badges were not properly documented. This was a failure in the company’s recordkeeping process, not a failure on the part of the affected Flight Attendants.

We understand the inconvenience, frustration, and anxiety this may have caused and apologize to those who wrongly received certified mail.

If you have questions regarding this requirement or need assistance, please contact HA.inflight.performance@alaskaair.com.

Please do not delay in completing this requirement if you have not already done so.

Mahalo,

🌈 Pride Month | All Month Long 🌈

Pride Month is both a celebration and a call to action. We honor the courage of those who came before us, stand with those facing challenges today, and recommit ourselves to building workplaces and communities where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

What began as a commemoration of the 1969 Stonewall uprising has evolved into a global movement centered on education, advocacy, visibility, community, and celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Solidarity means showing up for one another. When one community is under attack, we are all affected. We proudly celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community every day, and especially during Pride Month.

AFA Pride pins are avaiable in the LAX and SEA Lounges.
