TSA expects to screen nearly 18.7 million travelers at U.S. airport security checkpoints between Tuesday, June 30, and Monday, July 6. Thank you to all of Aviation's First Responders and aviation workers keeping passengers safe every day and over the July 4th travel weekend.

Thanks to Flight Attendants organized in our unions, airlines have come a long way with respect & inclusion for LGBTQIA+ employees. But that wasn't always the case. AFA has fought for decades to ensure LGBTQIA+ Flight Attendants have equal rights at work. More on our blog: afacwa.org/gar-traynor-...

We celebrated Pride by marching with our union siblings in ANC, MSP, NYC, ORD, SEA, and cities across the country this weekend. There are still a few Pride Parades coming up in SAN, PDX, and CAK. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

I’m proud to stand in solidarity with @afadelta.bsky.social Flight Attendants as they organize to form a union, and I call on Delta to adopt a neutrality agreement and negotiate with them in good faith.

Airline workers should have the right to start unions. Today, over 80% of three of the four largest airline workforces have joined their unions. I am concerned by reports that Delta has engaged in union-busting behavior, denying their workers that right.

Today, we remember the two Captains, two First Officers and North Central Airlines Flight Attendant Frances M. Rabb, along with 8 passengers, who perished after Air Wisconsin Flight 671 and North Central Airlines Flight 290 collided over Lake Winnebago near Appleton, Wisconsin on June 29, 1972.

From the moment you board to the moment you disembark, flight attendants work tirelessly to keep passengers safe✈️ For years, Delta flight attendants have been fighting for their right to form a union. Delta must respect their workers' voice on the job & their right to unionize.

@laborcaucus.house.gov Co-Chairs @debbiedingell.house.gov, @norcross.house.gov, @pocan.house.gov, & @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social – alongside 169 Reps – sent a letter to Delta CEO Ed Bastian urging the company to adopt a neutrality agreement & not interfere with union organizing activities.

172 Representatives just signed a letter to Delta mgmt urging them to remain neutral in our organizing campaign. This is huge. Lawmakers sent a clear message to mgmt that union busting won’t fly – & they’re doing everything possible to support our right to organize.

Delta flight attendants have the right to organize without intimidation from management. I stand with Delta AFA as they organize to form a union. #Unionstrong

Delta Air Lines' internal policies state "harassment has no place" at the airline. Four current and former flight attendants say that has not been their reality.

Please return your seat backs to their upright and locked positions: we just earned the endorsement of the incredible flight attendants at @afacwa.org!

Newly elected Flight Attendant Officers from Alaska, Envoy, ATI, Endeavor, Frontier, Hawaiian, Norse, Omni, Piedmont, PSA, and United gathered for a three-day New Officer Orientation ahead of the start of their terms on July 1, 2026. Welcome, Officers-elect!

To all the Flight Attendant Fathers, Dads of Flight Attendants, and all of our Step-Dads, Uncles, Grandpas and Father figures in our lives: wishing you the best Father's Day!

Juneteenth is a celebration of unwavering strength & spirit. It’s also a reminder that we cannot ignore hate & prejudice in this country. Equality is an ongoing commitment. We will continue to fight for equality and justice wherever we can, in our workplaces and in our democracy.

“As a U.S. Senator, she'll work to put power back in the hands of working people and remove the roadblocks that union busters use to try to keep us from organizing our unions to fight for what we deserve. AFA-CWA is proud to endorse Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate.”

“As an organizer and a state senator, she stood with working people on picket lines and fought for us in the halls of power. Julie is always accessible and ever ready to put up a fight or strategize on how to win.”

"It's never a question whether Julie Gonzales will stand with working people because she always has. It's not a political assessment with Julie. It's just who she is and on which side she chooses to stand" said @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

Let’s go Julie! ✊

Horizon AFA Flight Attendants vote 99.8% to authorize a strike. “We have dedicated our lives to Horizon and the communities that we serve. We are simply asking for the pay, benefits, and improvements we have earned,” said Lisa Davis Warren, Horizon AFA MEC President.

In the past few days @afadelta.bsky.social Flight Attendants have swapped stories w/ Amazon workers and @uaw.org VW workers. Different workplaces, but same union busting. Same struggle to break through fear. Same awakening to power in our workplace by owning our #UnionNow Not so different after all.

May 31st is the Date of Signing for the new United AFA contract, and many improvements are now in effect. Know your NEW contract! Check out Letter of Agreement (LOA) 9 for the full implementation schedule: sites.google.com/unitedafa.or...

@rweingarten.bsky.social & @flyingwithsara.bsky.social released the following statement: “Our response to the Great American AI Act is simple: Hard no. This bill is a giveaway to the AI industry and a handful of trillion-dollar companies, at the expense of workers." afacwa.org/union-leader...

As AI reshapes our communities and our workplaces, “workers deserve the right to help guide that transition, not simply be subjected to it,” writes AFA Alaska Council 30 President LeiLauni Scheideman in the Anchorage Daily News.

Congratulations, @samforstag.bsky.social, on your MT-1 primary win! Sam is a true champion for working people. He's fought for others as a smokejumper and federal sector union leader. Winning his primary is the first step — let’s get Sam to Congress!

We remember the 6 crew and 95 passengers who perished onboard Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 293, a military charter that crashed into the sea off the coast of Alaska in 1963.

Starting today the June bid period, GoJet AFA Flight Attendants will now earn pay for boarding passengers. GoJet Flight Attendants are the first regional Flight Attendants to implement contractual boarding pay.

June is #Pride Month! AFA-CWA supports all LGBTQ+ Flight Attendants and workers as we fight for protections on the job and in our communities.

We remember the Pilot and 10 passengers who perished as American Airlines Flight 1420 crashed upon landing at Little Rock International Airport in 1999. Four Flight Attendants were among the 134 people to survive the crash.

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!

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.

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.

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!

We remember the 8 crew and 37 passengers who perished on Continental Airlines Flight 11 on May 22, 1962. Flight 11 was flying from Chicago to Kansas City when it exploded and crashed in a field near Unionville, Missouri.

We won paid sick leave in Virginia! This is a huge victory for Flight Attendants & crewmembers — airlines fought to exclude us from the law, and our advocacy efforts made sure we were included.

May is Military Appreciation Month. From military service to aviation’s first responders, we’re celebrating the military union veterans of AFA. Veterans, be sure to request an Armed Forces Veterans Pin to show your union veteran pride: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Thank you for your service!

ICYMI: @duckworth.senate.gov and @baldwin.senate.gov are demanding answers from the FAA about the agency’s decision to allow a Flight Attendant to cover two emergency exit doors on some widebody aircraft. We’ve been sounding the alarm on cabin configurations and staffing minimums for years.

@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...

Congrats to our United @afacwa.org union siblings on ratifying a historic new contract! 31% wage increases, boarding pay, job security measures and more — flight attendants’ solidarity delivered. It’s #BetterInAUnion!

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.

Congratulations to our @afacwa.org United Airlines Union Siblings!

AFA-CWA Flight Attendants have voted to ratify their new contract at United!

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...

Never Forget ValuJet Flight 592.

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!

“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...

“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.

Spirit Airlines has ceased operations, leaving thousands of Spirit Flight Attendants and other frontline workers without their income, healthcare, and livelihoods. You can help @afacwa.org members impacted by donating to the Disaster Relief Fund: afacwa.org/drf
