    I am currently wearing AFA pin. I saw some new hires had AFA bag tags. Are you distributing any of these in the crew room soon? I have not seen them anywhere. Any plans for more bold colored AFA pins during negotiations or lanyards? I just feel we need more solidarity in our work group and want to show the company we are unified and are serious about this contract. Pilots did a great job of this in their last contract.

      Thank you for wearing the AFA pin, Carrie! I’m looking into the bag tag question, so please stand by on that.

      With regarding to the “solidarity swag” (bold colored bag tags, pins, etc.), we are not planning to distribute those quite yet. Normally those come after there has been an escalation of mobilization actions. Keep in mind the pilots were in negotiations for around three years, while we have been in negotiations for just over six months — and bargaining has been going relatively smoothly so far. Once we hit a snag, then we’ll start looking at next steps.

      Update: We’ve checked around, none of our officers or reps recall giving new hires AFA bag tags in recent memory. If you have more details, then we can try and chase down the specific circumstances.

What's on your mind?

Let us know what you're thinking. We'd like to hear from you.
