Stand Together for the Future of Our Airline!

A video message from your Base Presidents

Last month, your APFA Board of Directors issued a Vote of No Confidence in CEO Robert Isom because the evidence is undeniable. Under Isom’s leadership, American Airlines has fallen far behind its premium competitors, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. Profitability continues to lag, operational performance has placed us near or at the bottom of the industry, and frontline Employees are bearing the consequences of these failures.

The future of American Airlines is at stake.

American’s continued poor financial and operational performance is all too familiar to those of us who have been at American Airlines or its predecessor airlines for years, and the writing is on the wall:

Flight Attendants will not accept wage and work-rule concessions to rescue failing top leadership. We have sacrificed before, and we will not be asked to do it again to cover for strategic missteps at the top. It is time to course correct and move this airline in a fundamentally different direction with bold, visionary leadership that knows how to compete, not just cut.

As we continue this effort, Solidarity and visibility matter. Flight Attendants are encouraged to wear the red APFA pin that many of us saved from negotiations as a visible sign of Unity. If you do not have your red pin, please make sure to wear any APFA lapel pin and your APFA blue lanyard every time you come to work. Your Base President/ Vice President will have pins and blue lanyards available. You may also visit the APFA Solidarity Shop for pins, lanyards, t-shirts, and more!

Every visible show of solidarity demonstrates that Flight Attendants stand together and remain engaged as we hold leadership accountable and fight for the future of our careers at American Airlines.

In Solidarity,
