Before writing an opening proposal, our Negotiating Committee has an important responsibility to gather feedback from our Flight Attendant group. In an effort to make every voice heard, the Negotiating Committee will be hosting a series of Listening Sessions to hear about what’s important to you during upcoming contract negotiations. Listening Sessions are your opportunity to meet and interact with the members of the Negotiating Committee in a small group setting. You’ll have the chance to share your thoughts, ideas for change and improvement, challenges you’ve experienced under the current contract, or anything else that’s on your mind about negotiations. This is your opportunity to get involved in the process–your voice matters!
All Listening Sessions will be conducted using Zoom videoconferencing. Attendance at each session will be limited to allow the members of the Negotiating Committee with as much opportunity as possible to personally interact with each participant. As with all AFA meetings and activities, the AFA mutual respect policy applies at all sessions.

Not Able to Attend a Listening Session?
If you’re not able to attend a Listening Session, you’ll still have the opportunity to share your thoughts in the upcoming Negotiations Survey. The survey, currently scheduled to be conducted in June, is another key component used by our Negotiating Committee to determine our bargaining priorities. You can also provide direct feedback to our Negotiating Committee at any time by email or using the online Negotiations Feedback Form.
Isn’t it hard to schedule an appointment without having our May schedules?
Our Negotiating Committee wanted to make sure that enough advance notice was provided to allow people to adjust their bidding in order to attend a session if that was their preference. As of right now, there’s still space in all scheduled sessions and there will be another reminder sent out after bids are awarded.
