AFA Leadership Orientation

This month, your Council 47 officers had the opportunity to meet with our newly appointed committee chairs at the AFA office in Seattle. During the meeting, we reviewed the AFA structure, discussed the roles and responsibilities of our committees, and began planning how we can best support our LAX and SEA Flight Attendants.

We were also honored to hear from AFA International officers, Sara Nelson, Dante Harris, and Keturah Johnson, who shared updates on AFA, the aviation industry, and words of encouragement as we continue strengthening our Local Council.

Throughout the day, we strategized on member support, planned upcoming trainings, meetings, and conferences, and discussed ways to continue growing our representation. We are excited to have such a dedicated and knowledgeable group of committee chairs and committee members and look forward to continuing to build and expand our team.

Uniform Committee

Dreamliner Uniform

If you are planning to order 787 uniform pieces or are still awaiting your complete order, please be aware that some items are currently backordered until July. As a result, you may receive an approved off-the-shelf replacement item instead of the standard 787 piece. These items are designed to closely match the approved uniform but may have slight differences in color or appearance compared to that actual uniform.

Immersion Training Per Diem Overpayment

Over the past several months since Immersion Training began, AFA has been actively working with the company regarding the payment of immersion training per diem. Unfortunately, there have been multiple payroll errors throughout this process. We understand the frustration these issues have caused and want you to know that we have been working behind the scenes to ensure the company complies with its contractual obligations and corrects these errors.

Issue #1:

We were initially made aware that no per diem had been paid for immersion training. AFA immediately notified the company of its contractual obligation under Section 4.A.2. to pay a minimum of eight (8) hours of per diem for each day of training.

Issue #2

When attempting to correct the issue, the company processed payments at each Flight Attendant’s hourly rate of pay rather than at the negotiated per diem rate, creating additional payroll inaccuracies.

Issue #3

While correcting the overpayment through the recovery process outlined in Section 27.K.2., the company failed to provide advance notification to affected Flight Attendants prior to making deductions from paychecks. This lack of communication caused unnecessary confusion, anxiety, and frustration.

We recognize that ongoing payroll errors have been burdensome and have eroded confidence in the payroll process. We share your concerns and continue to hold the company accountable for these repeated mistakes.

We encourage all Flight Attendants to carefully review their pay statements and verify that they are being paid correctly. If you identify any discrepancies, please report them to HA.fapay@alaskaair.com and copy your Council 47 Officers at 47@afahawaiian.org. Keeping us informed helps us track trends, advocate on your behalf, and apply additional pressure for timely and accurate resolutions.
