AFA Alaska success, our contract fight ahead

Congratulations to the dedicated AFA Alaska Flight Attendants on securing a strong new contract! This is an industry-leading three-year agreement that provides an immediate, double digit wage increase for the 7,000 Flight Attendants, boarding pay, and retroactive pay. Their hard work, perseverance, and unity have paid off, setting a powerful example of what can be achieved when workers stand together. This victory is a testament to the demand for fair wages, better working conditions, and the respect Flight Attendants deserve. This shows that when Flight Attendants fight for what’s right, real change happens.

Now, it’s our time to do the same. We urgently need a CBA that treats us like Flight Attendants, not like regional Flight Attendants. Whether mainline, regional, or charter, a Flight Attendant is a Flight Attendant. We must take inspiration from AFA Alaska’s success and channel that momentum into our own fight for a fair contract. Just like them, we deserve better pay, improved benefits, and a contract that truly reflects our value. By standing together, staying strong, and demanding what’s fair, we can achieve the contract we deserve. Let’s make our voices heard and show that we, too, are ready to win!  

Your Negotiations Committee, assisted by your Mobilization Committee, must take the lead in getting everyone engaged, energized, and ready for the fight ahead. They are at the forefront, fighting on our behalf, strategizing, and ensuring our voices are heard. They are our guides through this process—you know they can’t do it alone and you are ready to rally alongside them. It’s not enough for just a few to be involved—every Flight Attendant has a stake in this contract, and we all need to be informed, active, and united. Through clear communication, workplace actions, and mobilization efforts, these committees must energize and empower the entire group to fight together and fight now. When we all participate—whether by attending meetings, wearing union pins, or showing solidarity on the line, we will send a powerful message that we are strong, united, and ready to win. Now is the time to build momentum and ensure every Flight Attendant is engaged in this fight! You are standing united and are waiting to send our powerful message that we are ready to fight for the contract we deserve. Let’s stay strong, stay informed, and stand together to win!

"Stronger Together, Better Together"
