We’ve Reached an Agreement!!!

After several late nights, long hours and a flurry of activity here in Chicago, management and your Negotiating Committee have reached an agreement in concept.

The next step of the process is the Negotiating Committee will present the agreement to the Master Executive Council (MEC) for approval per the AFA Constitution and Bylaws (C&B). Pending MEC approval, the details of the Tentative Agreement (TA) will be made available to the membership. There is still a fair amount of work to be done and your Negotiating Committee will complete a comprehensive review of the entire TA prior to releasing to the membership.

Thank you to those of you who were planning to bid off for the November solidarity events. At this time, AFA will be canceling the event. Hopefully this will give you enough time to change your bid.

We know you will have a ton of questions, but the Negotiating Committee cannot answer any of them at this time. However, we will get you information as soon as possible.

In solidarity,

Your Negotiating Committee—MEC President Jeffrey Peterson, Kristy Stratton, Lisa Pinkston, Jake Jones, Christina Frees and AFA Senior Staff Negotiator Paula Mastrangelo

“Five Bases Standing Strong”

Go For AFA Blue at the Company Meeting October 9th.

Your LEC Officers are thrilled with the overwhelming show of solidarity by the outpouring of advanced t-shirt requests from our strong and very united membership.  Go AFA!

With this awareness comes the realization that our original plan to set aside t-shirts for those ordering in advance, is not possible.  Therefore all t-shirts will be handed out on a first come, first served basis prior to the meeting.  We will do our best to provide you with a fit as close to your size as possible.

Although we are not anticipating it, if we run out of shirts entirely, we’d like you to come prepared with a shirt in the same color scheme (royal/cobalt blue).  We’d also like to request that AFA sits together in a sea of AFA blue.

Your AFA officers will be in the lobby of the Grand Californian at 1 PM!

We apologize for not being able to respond to each email we received.

Thank you all for you commitment and dedication to our over 3000 member strong Union at Alaska.

We look forward to seeing you on the 9th

In solidarity,

Sandra, Kelly, Kelese and David

Hawaiian Flight Attendant Seattle Domicile Negotiations – March 2026 Update

Management currently requires Flight Attendants to provide proof of relocation to receive the flat-rate moving expense, a policy that the AFA is formally challenging through the grievance process. While this dispute is ongoing, Flight Attendants able to submit proof of relocation must submit two forms of documentation, such as a lease or updated driver’s license, within 60 days of transfer if they wish to be paid under management’s terms. The union continues to advocate for a fairer process and encourages members to keep records of all related interactions.

Joint Contract Negotiations Session 12 – February 2026

During this negotiation session, we made progress on Sections 15 (Leaves of Absence) and 22 (Expenses). The JNC advocated for positive developments from the Hawaiian CBA to strengthen our proposals. We also introduced our initial proposal for Section 28 (Domiciles) and remain committed to meaningful improvements in all areas of discussion.
