        Alaska-Hawaiian Merged MEC Officer Election Results

        Notice of Election for Officers of Joint Alaska-Hawaiian MEC

        December 9, 2024 16:30

        AFA International

        Dear Alaska and Hawaiian AFA Members:

        As your merger moves forward, so does your representation. Our AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws calls for the merger of the Master Executive Councils in order to address our issues with the power of one voice. That starts with the election of MEC Officers. All of the Local Councils and your elected representatives will remain in place until the ratification of a Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA). After the ratification of the JCBA the dual Councils at LAX will be merged as well.

        The MEC Officer elections for the merged MEC will be conducted on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, with an effective date of March 1, 2025. The Alaska and Hawaiian Local Council Presidents and the respective MEC Officers will meet in person in San Francisco for these elections.

        Also on the agenda for the in person meeting is a discussion about how to start to merge MEC Policy and Procedures and Committee functions. As a reminder, enforcement of each pre-merger contract with Grievance and System Board will remain separate until a JCBA is ratified. Other Committees may transition to one committee in the immediate months following the March 1, 2025 merger of the MECs, and some committees may work jointly with representatives from each pre-merger airline. More details on that transition process will be communicated following the January 29, 2025 in person meeting. In all cases, only Local Presidents representing Flight Attendants from each respective airline may vote on issues specific to each pre-merger contract.

        The International Office will collect Willingness to Serve forms and resumes for consideration by the Local Council Presidents representing both Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendants.

        • Submit your Willingness to Serve through this form.
        • Email your resume to Int’l Secretary-Treasurer Dante Harris at dharris@afacwa.org

        MEC Officer Duties and Responsibilities are detailed in AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws Article VII.

        • MEC President
        • MEC Vice President
        • MEC Secretary-Treasurer

        We recommend submission of resume and willingness to serve no later than January 15, 2025 in order to provide ample time for consideration of all candidates. The International Office will provide a list of candidates and their resumes beginning January 7, 2025, with updates to the list completed at the end of each business day.

        This communication is focused on the notice for these elections. We will continue to provide merger updates in the coming weeks and months.

        In Solidarity,

        Sara, Keturah, and Dante
        AFA International Officers
