Congratulations to @samforstag.bsky.social on winning his primary! Let’s keep the momentum going all the way to November. As Sam says, “we can’t count on the changing weather to fight fires. We have to bring our own rain.” Get involved in this inspiring working class campaign.

Flight Attendants are Aviation’s First Responders. We show up every single day to make sure millions of people get home to their families safely. For over 80 years, we’ve fought through our union to make this job a career for anyone. Happy International Flight Attendant Day!

Spirit AFA members putting a face on the more than 17,000 workers who lost their jobs and healthcare overnight. Today was a bankruptcy court hearing. There are still benefits to be paid out to workers and the Court should put the people of Spirit first! 🐝💛🖤✊#foreverspirit

I'm so excited to be endorsed by one of my heroes @flyingwithsara.bsky.social and the nearly 55,000 flight attendants across 20 airlines she represents as President of @afacwa.org!

@flyingwithsara.bsky.social great speech in Missoula! Thank you for being on Team @samforstag.bsky.social!!!!

This Memorial Day Weekend, we honor the sacrifice of so many. We rededicate ourselves to honoring their sacrifice by fighting for good jobs and healthy communities at home. Memorial Day must live in our hearts every day. Stay safe and take care of each other.

We spent all night at Delaney Hall and I’m grateful to Governor Sherrill, Senator Kim, and our NJ colleagues for continuing the fight this morning. We will not stop until we get answers for the families and loved ones of those inside.

United AFA Flight Attendants just ratified their new contract by 82%. Union Flight Attendants raise the bar, while our compensation & work rules fall short due to hidden costs. A contract can put in writing compensation with scheduling protections, incentives, & benefits that are guaranteed.

Official summer travel season has kicked off! TSA expects to screen 18.3 million passengers and crew between Thursday, May 21, and Wednesday, May 27. Thank you to all of Aviation's First Responders and aviation workers who keep passengers safe!

Twice each year, the FAA hosts an aviation safety conference called InfoShare. The goal of this industry-wide session is to improve safety by sharing best practices and lessons learned. AFA Safety Reps and staff attended.

“Last night, CBS's Late Show with Stephen Colbert went dark and with it close to 200 good paying union jobs disappeared as did a vital platform for performing artists for whom even just one appearance on the show could be a career maker.” @wbai.org

Power in action with workers. We stand with them. fortune.com/2026/05/17/l...

@flyingwithsara.bsky.social issued the following statement in support of LIRR workers: "The @mta.info need only accept the reasonable recommendations of the PEB to ensure workers are not falling further behind & 250k+ New Yorkers are not disserviced." afacwa.org/stand-with-l...

Listen to Flight Attendant instructions. In the event of an emergency, LEAVE ALL BAGS BEHIND. Material possessions are not worth your life or another passenger's.

United AFA Flight Attendants voted 82% to ratify their new Contract, with 88.9% participating. United Flight Attendants will receive a 31% average wage increase and boarding pay this summer, and many other improvements. afacwa.org/united-fligh...

We should see how much of a CEOs job could be replaced by AI. And how much it would lead to “better outcomes”

To Flight Attendant Mothers, Mothers of Flight Attendants, and all of the Aunties who make us better Mothers - we wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!

“We will continue to support the crew and all affected by this tragic accident and engage directly in the investigation process.” AFA EAP is available for any crew needing support at 800-424-2406

“The Flight Attendants expertly performed their jobs as aviation’s first responders to ensure the safety of all onboard. We commend the quick and professional actions of the pilots and the firefighter first responders who ensured the fire did not spread as everyone onboard was ushered to safety.

“Our union responded throughout the night to support the crew of Frontier Flight 4345 who safely evacuated 231 people w/ smoke in the cabin after the horrific loss of life of the person on the runway. We are deeply saddened by this loss & offer our love to their family.” afacwa.org/statement-on...

“Affordability” must be more than another poll-tested slogan that politicians throw around. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

“The way that other Flight Attendants & pilots from other companies have treated us throughout this whole entire process, it just shows you how special this industry is... We always say ‘united by wings,’ but it’s really true.” Spirit AFA FA Colleen Burns & @flyingwithsara.bsky.social on Spirit.

@flyingwithsara.bsky.social helps us all understand the real issues facing our society

@flyingwithsara.bsky.social sent a letter to DOT Sec. Sean Duffy and Acting Sec. of Labor Keith Sonderling laying out clear demands and actions needed to protect Spirit workers: "Spirit Flight Attendants are not just some asset to be written off in this process." afacwa.org/protect_spir...

House Democrats are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the labor movement as we fight back against Trump’s anti-worker agenda. This #MayDay, I asked a few of my friends what “solidarity” means to them.

Today is May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day. On May Day and every day, we remember the workers who fought and died for our rights — and stand in solidarity with our union siblings across the country and world as we fight for a better future.

"Spirit Airlines provides opportunities for people like me to build a life, support our families, and serve communities that rely on affordable travel."

"Every flight, I try to make a real impact; whether that’s helping a nervous passenger feel safe, creating a moment of joy for someone who needs it, or just showing up for my crew on long, challenging days."

LIVE today at 2pm ET— @samosterhout.bsky.social is joined by Association of Flight Attendants International President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social to discuss general strikes & union organizing https://open.substack.com/live-stream/182929?utm_source=post-publish

Prescription drugs. Groceries. Housing. Utilities. Childcare. Gas. Vacation time. What do they have in common? They cost too much. And they'd all get cheaper under the @USProgressives New Affordability Agenda, out today. Check it out → progressives.house.gov/press-releas...

Offense! Setting demands and a vision forward is critical. We can advance our overarching demands while also taking decisive steps to achieve real gains - results are important and every step forward makes us stronger for the next one. Thank you @repcasar.bsky.social and @usprogressives.bsky.social

I loved @benmckenzie.bsky.social's new movie exposing the greed & grift of the crypto industry. Can’t wait to take these lessons to Congress so we protect people, not scammers. (1/2)

Because this is what decision-makers need to see: The real people behind this airline. The careers. The families. The communities. Call Congress: (202) 816-5673 Call the White House: (202) 793-8329

We are first responders for our passengers. We are the constituents of the deciders. We are people. We are caregivers. We are students. We are veterans. We are homeowners or renters. We are Spirit.

Right now, decisions are being made that will directly impact thousands of aviation workers and our families: us. Conversations in Washington DC are ongoing, and support is not guaranteed. So we need to make something very clear: We are not numbers on a balance sheet.

“The labor movement hasn’t had a national strike fund. [That] is a fundamental issue, a fundamental roadblock to organizing.” @flyingwithsara.bsky.social #unionnow prospect.org/2026/04/20/u...

Now is the time ⏰ for our union 💜 We’re the largest work group at Delta, and our collective voices have power. When we stand together, Delta will have to listen. ✊ #UnionNow #UnionStrong #Delta #AFACWA

📣🚨Super excited that SARA NELSON @flyingwithsara.bsky.social will be this year’s UCLA STRATEGIC LABOR RESEARCH CONFERENCE’S Keynote Speaker‼️ Checkout our conf website for the latest workshops announced‼️ @californialabor.bsky.social @thelafed.bsky.social @uclairle.bsky.social @uclalabor.bsky.social

Chilly weather and a tight connection were nothing for the Alaska-based flight attendants who gathered outside U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan’s Anchorage office on Friday to protest his support of the Republican efforts to upend how Americans vote.

Recently, we sent letters to airlines we represent asking them to join us in stopping a low odor oil from hitting the market while encouraging the certification of oils like TN 940SE that are removing harmful toxins.

Contaminated bleed air events have been an issue for decades. One of the contributors is heated engine oil. Crews can identify the onset of a fume event & respond accordingly by smelling the odor of the heated engine oil (typically described as “dirty socks” & “foul”).

Workers have a right to form & join unions and to bargain first contracts but the reality is it’s still too hard. Proud to stand with workers, NYC unions, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, Manny Pastreich, Henry Garrido @dc37nyc.bsky.social, @mayor.nyc.gov at the launch of Union Now.
