DFW Flight Attendants,

Today, we begin a new chapter at DFW. Amber and I are so excited and most importantly very honored to serve you as your newly elected DFW Base President and DFW Base Vice President. Communication is Key. It’s time that you, our fellow DFW members be kept completely informed. It is so important to always be up-to-date with any and all changes that affect our base, contract and our day to day lives as professional Flight Attendants at the biggest base in our system. While that is no small task, I truly believe that communication is of upmost importance. We will ALWAYS have the lines of communication open and we will always be transparent with you.

With that said, mark your calendars. We will be hosting our first APFA DFW Base meeting which will be followed by the APFA Negotiating Committee Roadshow.

It is time for UNITY. It is time we stand shoulder to shoulder as fellow unionized sisters and brothers. We must all work together and stand strong as ONE. Contract negotiations are upon us and we must show our strength and solidarity……TOGETHER.
