5.31.23 – International Flight Attendant Appreciation Day 2023: Do You Feel Appreciated?

International Flight Attendant Appreciation Day: Do You Feel Appreciated?

Wednesday, May 31, 2023

Today is International Flight Attendant Appreciation Day, a day first observed in 2015 to celebrate and recognize Flight Attendants for their commitment to safety and their contributions to the success of airlines worldwide. Today and every day, we celebrate Flight Attendants at American Airlines and across the industry.

American Airlines Flight Attendants feel grossly underappreciated, unsupported, and ignored. A draconian attendance policy makes Flight Attendants feel like just a number and management’s lack of empathy and respect for their hard-working employees could not be more evident.

Earlier this year, Miami-based Flight Attendant Pete Enriquez was spit on and punched by a passenger during a flight to London. Surrounded by passengers and crew, he diffused the situation to prevent further violence and protected the safety of the aircraft and everyone onboard. After accompanying him to the hospital, the company offered no continuing support for Pete and pursued zero accountability for the man who assaulted him. Click image to watch:

American Airlines demands accountability from Flight Attendants. Who holds our management team accountable for the extreme lack of support and empathy?

The lack of care for employees is no way to run an airline. Not on International Flight Attendant Appreciation Day. Not any day.

#NoAAccountability
No respect.
No way to work.
American Airlines, do better.
