Dear Members,

AFA BOD Update - Agenda Item #3

News from the BOD

The members in committee reconvened last night after the BOD recessed for the evening. This was to further discuss Agenda #3 and to send a "FOR" or "AGAINST" vote to the floor of the BOD today. At approximately 8pm local (11pm EST) last night the committee voted 9 to 1 AGAINST Agenda #3 and recommended a "NO" vote to the floor of the BOD today.

The agenda item was presented to the floor around 3pm local time today and a motion was made to table this agenda item (tabling an agenda item means that once the BOD meeting is adjourned today, the Agenda Item # 3 can not be brought forward and is closed). DATE OF HIRE will prevail in the merger of our seniority lists.

MECP Mike Flores shows a PowerPoint presentation on "Date of Hire - A Tradition" to the Committee

After the tabling of the agenda item, the America West MEC introduced a letter of agreement between the AMW MEC and the USA MEC which clearly reaffirms the commitment to DATE OF HIRE as contained in the AFA constitution and bylaws. This letter also stipulates that the Company (USA & USA/AMW) remain uninvolved in the Seniority Integration

We will be following the section of the C&B policy that governs the merger of seniority lists, which is DATE OF HIRE, and collective bargaining agreements between the two merged carriers.

We wish to thank all of the flight attendants that sent letters to the Board of Directors. The emails and letters helped the Board understand how strong we felt about date of hire in ours or any merger of AFA carriers.

Thank you again for all of your support.

Mike Flores MECP and your MEC/LEC Officers
