MIA Bid Sheet Survey

This is a friendly reminder to complete the Miami Bid Sheet Survey. To complete the survey, please click the link or scan the QR code below.

Professional Standards and EAP

Professional Standards and EAP calls now go through the hotline at 833-214-2002.

Please use Professional Standards for issues that can’t be resolved on the airplane. Keep it out of the office.

If you need to speak with Professional Standards mid-sequence to keep a situation from escalating, please call. If a dispute arises mid-sequence that cannot be resolved and a crew member removes themselves from the trip, Inflight becomes involved and an investigation ensues. This is what we always hope to avoid.

In Solidarity,

Nick, Alba, and Your APFA MIA Base Representatives
