InfoReps-

They’re at it again. The company smells unity and they scramble to put together a glossy, graphic intense document in a feeble attempt to negotiate directly with you.

Don’t drink the Kool-AAid.

They dramatically highlight their document with modifications and withdrawals, and claim to have moved toward APFA in several areas of the contract. What they fail to mention is that the movements are so minuscule they would not register as a blip on any radar screen and when all is said and done you will still be financially well below 2003.

APFA is in the process of creating a booklet that exposes the truth about the company’s proposals and how they will affect you. We will go to print sometime next week and the booklet will be mailed to every Flight Attendant as well as posted on the APFA website.

Informational Road Shows are also scheduled around the system in April and May. I strongly urge every InfoRep to attend one of the meetings. Please encourage your co-workers to attend as well. Much information will be shared and your questions will be answered.

Locations are being finalized and will be announced soon. All meetings will be held from 11:00-14:00 local base time. Here are the dates:

April 12 – DFW
April 13 – BOS
April 14 – NYC

April 21 – STL

A PDF version of the road show calendar is available here for printing.
