In this episode, we chat with two AFA-represented regional airline Flight Attendants, Katiauna Dates from Envoy and Wendy Kaihara from Horizon. Katiauna and Wendy have gotten more involved with their unions at the LEC* level to support their coworkers. 

Here are some of the topics we discuss during this podcast: 

Reserve Policies - Definitive contractual provisions in place improve the quality of life of reserve Flight Attendants. 

Management Accountability - Contractual language that holds management accountable and compensates Flight Attendants when violations occur.

Commuter Policies - The latest improvements to commuter policies and how they provide Flight Attendants with more flexibility in planning commutes and protection from discipline when commutes don’t work out as planned

Contractual Attendance Policies - When attendance is addressed in the contract, it eclipses company policy. We discuss how attendance policies protect AFA-represented Flight Attendants, including those on probation. 

New Hire Retention - Mentorship programs have increased new hire retention. AFA-run programs such as EAP and Professional Standards help Flight Attendants resolve issues without involving or alerting the company and remain completely confidential.
