8.25.25 – APFA LAX Base Brief – LAX Base Vice President Newsletter: September 2025

I have been gathering data to present to Base Manager Andrew Masiello regarding the reliablity of the Nonrev Shuttle. If you have been delayed or the schedule was not followed, please email me as much information as possible at [email protected].
Some of LAX’s great BCRs and I are currently working on a Reserve Quick Reference Guide to help you gain quick access to the information we need the most while on Reserve. What information do you feel you need on reserve? Email me!
Your feedback is instrumental to how I lead as Vice President. Find the “LAX Suggestion Box” review video HERE!
Did you miss our Reserve Daily Bidding Class? Find the recording HERE!
With the support of Base President John Nikides I am representing LAX FAs in meetings with management to ensure the CBA is followed and FAs are represented strongly and fairly.
On Reserve in October? Join our Reserve Bidding Refresher Class September 29 at 09:00 AM (PT). Join HERE!

It’s been 6 months since I was elected your Base Vice President. Please join me in person (or virtually) for my first Base Vice President Town Hall September 29 at 10:00AM PST in operation’s large conference room. Come meet me, ask question and see how I am honoring your vote by supporting our base president John Nikides, the LAX base and YOU. Click Here!
Ever wonder how to read all the information at the top of your HI1? Check out this DECS guide HERE!
Report! Report! Report! Hold AA accountable by reporting and documenting via APFA Report Forms!
With feed back from SCMs (Senior Crew Managers), don’t forget, we are able to make sales on flights with no WIFI (Hawaii) ! To make this work, be sure to do a “dummy sale” when connected on the ground first! See the High Priority CCI Dated 7/22 “Onboard Payments: Now with or without Wi-fi!”
Check when your LAWA badge expires as if it does without a renewal, the process to get a new one is much longer!
The Wings Foundation needs your support!! Please find out more and start your donation HERE!
Flight Attendants are encouraged to contact the APFA Employee Assistance Program to resolve conflict rather than requesting action from management. For Professional Standards assistance call: 833-214-2002

It is important to me you always feel you have a voice. I have created a “Bookable” time if you would like to connect with me for a 1-1 chat about whatever you like. This is your time. Book a time HERE.
Want to voice a concern but want to stay anonymous? Connect via our “LAX Suggestion Box” Click HERE.

IMPORTANT – If calling or texting me, please send your full name and employee number so I can best assist you. Emails sent to [email protected] may not be received or replied to.
