Negotiations Are Underway!

Last week, our Negotiating Committee met with management for the start of negotiations. Review Opening Proposals from our Negotiating Committee and from management here. For a recap of the first session, read our communication or watch a video from the Negotiating Committee.

The Negotiating Committee and management agreed to an aggressive bargaining schedule, meeting twice per month starting with our next scheduled session on October 11-13. Additional updates will be shared after each session.

Negotiating Committee Blog

Today, we launched our Negotiating Committee Blog as a resource for the negotiations process. Review this page often for answers to questions we hear from our workgroup. Send your questions directly to the Negotiating Committee at negotiations@afaalaska.org. The first few questions we answered include:

• What does “address” mean in management’s opening proposal?
• Does the Negotiating Committee want to limit the number of probationary Flight Attendants per flight?
• Management wants to increase the 4K distance, the 480 requirement, and the duty day! Is the Negotiating Committee considering any of these?
