  • Displacement Update - Cancelled

Dear Council AFA-CWA Members,

Displacement Update - Cancelled

Yesterday I participated in a conference call with Hector Adler, Vice President of Inflight Services, concerning the future displacements planned for 67 flight attendants based in DCA.

After he had a chance to review the voluntary transfers for the month of May the number of displacements was reduced to 39. During the call Mr. Adler made the executive decision to cancel the 39 displacements.

The 39 flight attendants were called yesterday to inform them of this change of heart. I would like to thank Mr. Adler for this decision as I believe it is in the best interest of the Company and specifically those flight attendants who were scheduled to be displaced from DCA.

As well I would like to thank Council 41 LEC Secretary Stephen Smith (ssmith2@afausairways.org) and Council 41 Reserve Chair Audra West (awest@afausairways.org) for confronting senior management in CLT during a Crew News session concerning the displacements and the impact that it would have on their lives and those that were scheduled to be displaced. When you have the opportunity, please thank them for their leadership surrounding this issue.

In Solidarity,

Alin Boswell
LEC President, DCA
