“We have the power! Nothing can move without our labor.” Today, delegates heard from our union sister, @afacwa.org President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social. Thank you for supporting letter carriers and standing in solidarity with our members.
AFA-CWA, The Flight Attendant Union
@afacwa.org
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, (AFA) AFL-CIO represents nearly 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines. Proudly #1u.
On the eve of the 25th remembrance of 9/11/01, the current Administration is pushing a new privatization program TSA Gold+ at airports in Charleston, SC; Des Moines, IA; & Tampa, FL. Any move back to private screeners compromises passenger safety & introduces vulnerabilities into our nat'l defense.
Join AFA and CWA activists for a virtual phone banking session on August 6th at 7 pm ET to support @kaela15.bsky.social: action.cwa.org/events/natio... Kaela is an Endeavor AFA Flight Attendant, union leader, mom, and MN State Representative running for Congress in MN-02.
Remembering the six crew and 83 passengers who perished after Delta Air Lines Flight 723 crashed on approach at Boston’s Logan International Airport on July 31, 1973.
We made a promise to Never Forget the events of 9/11, & never allow them to be repeated. This year on the 25th remembrance, our 11th annual AFA Honor Guard will attend services at the national memorials to ensure the public remembers the sacrifice of Flight Attendants. afacwa.org/2026-afa-hon...
I've been fighting for workers my whole career. That's why I got into this race. But don't take it from me, take it from my union President, Sara Nelson. Thank you for having my back @afacwa.org
Today I had to miss Leprechaun Days in Rosemont for my annual Flight Attendant safety training. That's just a day in the life when you're still working while running for Congress. I couldn't ask for a better team. Thanks so much to everyone who came out today!
In 2025, AFA EAP assisted one-third of AFA members. Of those assisted, 35% were first-time users. 91% of users improved or resolved their problem w/ AFA EAP support. We are so grateful to our AFA EAP reps! No matter the problem, AFA EAP is just a phone call away. Call 800-424-2406 to get started.
Mesa and Republic Flight Attendants start getting their contractual boarding pay today - thanks in large part to AFA and IBT working together to hold management accountable. (1/3)
Just as Sara and flight attendants stand with us in our fights, we stand with them. Please click here and learn how you can help workers at Delta organize. deltaafa.org/news/hello-a...

My union sister @flyingwithsara.bsky.social walks the walk - even if that walk is 36,000 feet in the air. I know we can count on her to stand up for workers everywhere, and I’m so thankful she could join us for our convention this year. www.aft.org/news/flight-...

Sara Nelson is all-in for the AFT in our own fights. She deplored the conditions too many educators work under. She also struck a note of deep solidarity with AFT values: “Education is a foundation of democracy, and healthcare is a human right.” @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

Today marks 37 yrs since United Flight 232 crash-landed in Sioux City after a failure of the tail engine & loss of most flight controls. The crew is credited for saving 185 of the 296 lives aboard in what most believed would have been a complete loss of life w/o heroic efforts.
Known Crewmember (KCM) is continuing its transition to the new program called Crewmember Access Point (CMAP), which is managed by TSA. KCM is planned to sunset by the end of 2026. TSA is rolling out field testing for CMAP in the coming weeks. More info: afacwa.org/cmap-rollout...
Glad to have you on board 👏
Listen to Flight Attendant instructions. Every second counts during an emergency. In the event of an evacuation, leave all bags behind and don’t film or take photos. @iata.org, the FAA, the EASA, and @ifalpa.bsky.social on this critical public safety campaign: www.iata.org/en/youandiat...

We remember 153 people who died after Pan Am Flight 759 crashed outside of New Orleans on July 9, 1982, including Flight Attendants James Fijut, Lucille Brown, Vivian Ford, Dennis Donnelly, as well as Capt. Kenneth McCullers, F/O Donald Pierce and Flight Engineer Leo Noone.
Our flying partners in Guam need our help. Guam was hit by Typhoon Bavi, which was even more intense than the destructive Typhoon Sinlaku that hit the island just months ago. Help our flying partners in Guam by donating to the AFA Disaster Relief Fund: unionly.io/o/afadrf/rel...
13 yrs ago Flight Attendants onboard Asiana Airlines Flight 214 that crash-landed at SFO safely evacuated 288 passengers from the burning plane. In the face of danger, even after 2 Flight Attendants had been ejected from the aircraft on impact, Aviation’s First Responders took action to save lives.
Wishing a safe and happy 4th of July to all of Aviation's First Responders!
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
