"Tuberville wants to focus on anything except the real problems facing the American public, [cost of fuel]. He could end the Iran War...but instead he's calling Care Bear “violent” to try to distract people from the problems he helped create." - @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

We're all Flight Attendants, but the day to day at each airline may look a little different. Krisandra takes you on a day in her life as an AFA Frontier Flight Attendant. P.S. Frontier Flight Attendants don’t yet get paid for boarding — it’s one of the things we're fighting for in the new Contract.

Tomorrow marks the 25th remembrance of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Remembrances of traumatic events can stir strong and difficult emotions unexpectedly. Read a message from your AFA EAP here: afacwa.org/september-11... AFA EAP is always available at 800-424-2406.
September 11th, 25 Years Later: A Message from Your AFA EAPAs we pause to remember this solemn remembrance, we are also reminded of the remarkable resilience of the Flight Attendant community.

In the years since 9/11, Flight Attendants have faced additional tragedies, public health crises, workplace violence, economic uncertainty, and countless critical incidents. 

Through each challenge, Flight Attendants have continued to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to safety, professionalism and compassion.AFA EAP encourages every Flight Attendant to care for themselves as intentionally as they care for their passengers and flying partners.

If this remembrance brings up difficult emotions, reach out to someone you trust. Talk with a fellow Flight Attendant, a family member, or an AFA EAP rep. Connection remains one of the most powerful tools for healing.

Remember, your AFA EAP is here to listen, provide confidential support, and connect you with additional resources whenever needed. AFA EAP is available 2/47. 

Call 800-424-2406.

Labor Day is our day. Take time to recognize the contributions of a flying partner. Tell someone – thank you, it’s nice to work with you. The truth is, being together is the best part of our job. Happy Labor Day, Aviation’s First Responders!

Under new leadership, the agency scrapped Gold+, which would have allowed private companies to provide the full scope of screening services, technology and maintenance.

Flight Attendants support @sbworkersunited.org’s call to boycott Starbucks. Starbucks is the biggest labor law violator in modern history. It’s time for management to finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting. No coffee until a contract!
Flight Attendants: Support Union Starbucks Workers! Boycott Starbucks. No Contract, No coffee.Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history. The NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company.At a time when working-class people across the country and struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be a Starbucks customer and in support of workers. Choosing to spend money at Starbucks in choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.Flight Attendants support Starbucks workers' call to Boycott Starbucks until a contract is ratified!

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.
