Today is National Coming Out Day. Decades before the law caught up, we worked together to negotiate job protections for LGBTQ+ workers & secured domestic partner benefits in contracts. We’re proud of our history. While we continue the work to protect our rights & dignity, there's still more to do.
There’s only one place to be on December 9 – walking the picket line. Save the date and join Regional Flight Attendants across the industry for a National Day of Action to demand an end to poverty wages, tiers in aviation, and improve quality of life.

I will forever love our Spirit @afacwa.org members (“Bees”) and find inspiration in the way they fought for each other with great SPIRIT. As they find their new homes I was lucky enough to pin wings and welcome 23 of them to United AFA as “Blue Bees” alongside 79 Newbies! #SolidaritySpiritForever
Cheers to @epic.org for weighing in with support for @afacwa.org in this incredibly important fight for worker data rights. We’ll look back at this as a really consequential moment in that long battle. epic.org/epic-files-a...
