Negotiations Survey Review
The Opener
Negotiations Survey Review
A special mahalo to all of you who completed the AFA Negotiations Survey and/or attended a roadshow meeting. Your comments and suggestions were valuable in helping us formulate our priorities for the upcoming negotiations. The respondents were a good cross-section of our Flight Attendant group. Your responses indicated that wages, work rules, and retirement are essential goals in these negotiations.
