Flight Attendants Cheer in the U.S.

THE 50,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines represented by the Association of Flight Attendants, received the news of the passage of a five-year FAA Reauthorization Bill including a 10 hour minimum rest provision to combat Flight Attendant fatigue. The bill includes more Flight Attendant safety priorities including forever banning knives on planes, no voice calls on planes, and extending the smoking ban to e-cigarettes. 

Serving as the voice for Flight Attendants in the workplace, in the aviation industry, in the media and on Capitol Hill, AFA has transformed the Flight Attendant profession by raising wages, benefits and working conditions. Nearly 50,000 Flight Attendants come together to form AFA, part of the 700,000-member strong Communications Workers of America.

BA cabin crew to strike for 48 hours

UNITE cabin crew members working for British Airways ‘mixed fleet’ announced a 48-hour strike starting Tuesday 10 January, after the airline refused to extend the mandate of the strike vote to allow for talks to resolve an ongoing dispute over ‘poverty pay’ to continue.

Warning British Airways of needlessly seeking conflict, Unite said its members were legally required to take industrial action within 28 days of voting for it, unless the airline agreed to an extension.

A two day stoppage scheduled for Christmas day and Boxing day was suspended to allow Unite members to vote on the offer.
