Remembering 3 crew & 23 passengers who died onboard Piedmont Airlines Flight 349. The plane crashed on Bucks Elbow Mountain near Crozet, Virginia on October 30, 1959. There was one survivor, Ernest P. “Phil” Bradley, who was seriously injured and found still strapped in his seat.

Today's determination by the National Media Board (NMB) that Train Dispatchers at Union Pacific Railroad collected enough cards to trigger an election for union representation under the Railway Labor Act with ATDA. Read @flyingwithsara's statement: afacwa.org/flight-attendants…

Remembering the 189 passengers and crew of Lion Air flight JT-610. The Boeing 737 Max 8 took off from Jakarta on a 1 hour and 10 minute flight to Pangkal Pinang on an island chain off Sumatra, but crashed at sea only 13 minutes into the flight. Sending love to families.

The Board of Directors of ALPA today reelected Capt. Jason Ambrosi to a second four-year term as president. Ambrosi, a Delta Air Lines captain first elected in 2022, has led ALPA through one of the most consequential periods in its 95-year history.

Rest in power, Dolores Huerta ✊
Rest in Power Dolores Huerta

ALT Rest in Power Dolores Huerta

“Our hearts are with the Huerta family and all of our farm worker siblings. Dolores Huerta gave us all of the empathy, care, and encouragement of a mother for workers everywhere, with a fierce love for people that fueled her principled, relentless, strategic action for results that lifted millions of workers and our families. She never gave up, she never gave in and she fought for a better world to her last breath.

“Through courage and determination, she helped change what the world saw as possible, who the world saw as deserving of rights and dignity. Every worker owes her a debt of gratitude. It’s a debt that we must pay forward by continuing to fight for her dream of a world where no human is exploited and no injustice is written off as someone else’s problem.

And we know the extraordinary power she built by inspiring especially the most marginalized to own the power of our labor and act on love for our families, communities and a world big enough for all of us. (5/5)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A breast self-exam is a way to check for signs & symptoms of breast cancer. Use this guide from the @BCRFcure to learn how to perform a self-exam: nationalbreastcancer.org/bre… AFA EAP is always available at 800-424-2406.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do you know how to do a self-exam?

ALT October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do you know how to do a self-exam?

A breast self-exam is a way to check for signs and symptoms of breast cancer. Regular self-exams allow you to become familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel. This makes it easier to identify any changes or abnormalities. Learn the proper technique and perform self-exams regularly, ideally once a month. Report any changes to your health care providers. Visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation website for more tips and a full guide.

Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Horizon Air flight attendants on the picket line.  Our union workers have always shown up for Alaska – I’ll always show up for them by fighting for better wages, safer workplaces, and their right to organize and collectively bargain.
