We had a good discussion with @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, President of @afacwa.org, at this week's @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. Flight attendants keep us safe in the air, and they deserve fair pay, strong protections, and respect on the job.

Congrats to @uaw.org workers at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant! Workers made history in 2024 by voting to form their union with UAW, and they just did it again by securing a historic tentative agreement. Solidarity gets the goods. #OrganizeTheSouth

Always energizing to spend time with my friend @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants–CWA, AFL–CIO. She’s an outstanding labor leader, & together we’re fighting to ensure flight attendants get the fair pay & strong protections they have earned.

Great to see my friend, @afacwa.org President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social and @afadelta.bsky.social yesterday at the Labor Caucus. Your work keeps us safe in the skies, and we stand with you.

There is power in a union! Join Labor 4 Democracy for a virtual training & discussion about ways we can use our union power to protect working people and the poor, defend democracy and human rights, and defeat authoritarianism & the erosion of our rights. actionnetwork.org/events/worki...

Yesterday, @laborcaucus.house.gov had a great discussion with @afacwa.org President, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, on the importance of flight attendants’ rights to organize.

The working men and women of the Association of Flight Attendants are there no matter the destination. Today, I met with @afacwa.org President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social as part of @laborcaucus.house.gov to discuss how Congress can better support flight attendants and airline workers.

ICYMI: Last week, the President posted online that he was “decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada” until Gulfstream planes were certified to fly. The White House clarified that it doesn’t affect planes in operation.

AFA celebrates Black History Month, an annual national observance that highlights the power and impact of the Black community. This month is a time to celebrate the lives, careers & contributions of those who paved the way for a more equal world — and commit to continuing the fights they started.

On this day in 2000, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crashed into the Pacific Ocean about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) north of Anacapa Island, California, after suffering a catastrophic loss of pitch control. Flight 261 was a PVR-SEA flight, with a stop at SFO.

On this day in 1974, Pan Am Flight 806, a New Zealand to LAX flight, crashed on approach to Pago Pago International Airport. Ten crew members and 87 passengers were killed.

One year after the tragic mid-air collision near DCA, we mourn and remember the crew & passengers of Flight 5342. We implore Congress to honor them by acting to make our skies safer, and call on the House to pass the ROTOR Act. Our statement: ttd.org/news-and-med...

Remembering PSA/ American Eagle Flight 5342

Today marks one year since we lost Danasia Elder & Ian Epstein, our ALPA brothers Captain Jonathan Campos and First Officer Samuel Lilley, 60 passengers & the crew of an Army black hawk. On Jan. 29, 2025, PAT 25 collided with American Eagle PSA Flight 5342 on final approach to DCA.

We stand with @mnaflcio.org ICE OUT NOW. This is our brother and caretaker of the community. Every worker must prepare to follow the lead of Minnesota. mnaflcio.org/news/stateme...

The combined group of nearly 3,000 Mesa and Republic Flight Attendants voted this week to ratify the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) by 91%.

This weekend, a powerful winter storm is forecast to bring travel issues to many throughout the South and the East Coast. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings in 19 states.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final cause was in Memphis walking with AFSCME sanitation workers. They were on strike for better working conditions after two of their own were killed on the job.

Contract NOW, United!

“We are the first responders. We are safety professionals. We go through extensive training and we just want to be recognized.” #FlightAttendants @afacwa.org fightbacknews.org/articles/uni...

Thank you Senator @warren.senate.gov for your support of United Flight Attendants! #ContractNOW

Standing with @afacwa.org United as they continue their fight for a fair contract. When Flight Attendants stand together, our entire profession is stronger. #ContractNow #UnionStrong

United's CEO is the highest paid CEO in the industry, while their flight attendants are paid the least – by far. That's not right. No CEO should make 1,173 TIMES what a first year flight attendant makes. I'm standing with @afacwa.org. They deserve a fair contract now.

United Airlines made over $3.1 billion last year. Instead of reaching a fair deal with its flight attendants, United paid its CEO almost $34 million and provided over $162 million in stock buybacks to shareholders. United must respect its flight attendants and reach a deal NOW.

@afacwa.org Contract now!

HAPPENING NOW: United AFA Flight Attendants on the picket line at Willis Tower in downtown Chicago demanding #ContractNow #1u

When companies profit, workers should too. I’m proud to support @afacwa.org Flight Attendants who are picketing today demanding a fair contract from United Airlines. When we fight, we win! #UnionStrong #ContractNow

It's been 17 years since US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the icy waters of New York’s Hudson River! The "Miracle on the Hudson" would not have been a miracle without everyone doing exactly what needed to be done at just the right moment. We are aviation’s first responders.

We strongly co-sign this message from the flight deck. As your Flight Attendants, we’re calling on you—the bond holders—to do your part. “Spirit’s labor groups have stepped up... Now, the financial stakeholders who have the ability to finish this restructuring must do the same.”

Bread. AND Roses.

On this day: The Bread and Roses Strike begins in Lawrence, Massachusetts, redefining what Solidarity could look like and providing a rallying cry for generations of workers to come.

Aviation's First Responders all over the world are wearing blue today to mark National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Flight Attendants, as 100,000 Eyes in the Skies, are uniquely positioned to identify human traffickers and assist their victims.

Time to pay up, Scott. Willis Tower, January 15th at 10am CT. RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

In January 2025, PSA Airlines announced plans to move its headquarters from Dayton to Charlotte. While the airline now celebrates the opening of its new headquarters, it has forgotten the workers who keep the airline flying.

On January 5, 2024, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 suffered from an explosive decompression event after a door plug on the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft blew out. Thanks to the heroic and decisive actions of the Flight Attendants and Pilots, everyone made it to the ground safely.

January is National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month. We can take a stand by recommitting ourselves to end it on our planes. As Flight Attendants and aviation's first responders, we are uniquely able to identify human traffickers & assist their victims. www.afacwa.org/slavery_huma...

Happy New Year from AFA! We're looking forward to 2026. We are Stronger and Better Together!

On December 28, 1978, United Airlines Flight 173 departed Denver bound for Portland, OR. The flight ran out of fuel and crashed in a suburban Portland neighborhood. Two crewmembers, Flight Attendant Joan Wheeler and Flight Engineer Mendenhall, and 8 passengers died. We will never forget.

Happy Kwanzaa to all who celebrate!

Flight Attendants across the industry are proud of the heroic actions of aviation’s first responders on NWA Flight 253 on December 25, 2009. This AFA crew successfully stopped the Christmas Day “pant bombing” attempt.

Wishing you and your families Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas!

Thank you Flight Attendants and aviation workers who spend the holidays bringing family and friends together. We do this year ‘round to ensure safe passage of those in our care.

Mesa & Republic Flight Attendants reached a tentative agreement for a joint contract that includes boarding pay that matches the standard mainline formula (50%) and other improvements, while maintaining the right to full Section 6 negotiations in Jan 2027. www.afacwa.org/mesa_republi...

HAPPENING NOW: PSA Flight Attendants are holding a system-wide Day of Action at CLT, DAY, DCA, DFW, and PHL. We’re standing with our labor and community allies calling on AA & PSA management to deliver a living wage #ContractNow. #1u

TOMORROW: Join AFA PSA Flight Attendants in CLT, DAY, DCA, DFW, and PHL for a system-wide Day of Action to demand a Contract now. See you on the picket line ✊ RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Happy Hanukkah! We wish you a holiday full of light.

ICYMI: The House of Representatives passed a bill that rolls back the critical safety protections in place following the tragic crash of Flight 5342. Section 373 is not only reckless and indefensible, but undermines the NTSB’s safety guidance.

Welcome home, brother.

Spirit AFA Flight Attendants voted 74% to pass the Bankruptcy Conditions ballot. Now that this agreement has passed, let's look to the future & focus on the journey to restoring the airline to health so we can prosper again. Our solidarity is the only way forward.
