All in Wear Your Pin This Holiday Season
November 22, 2022 — The AFA pin is a symbol of our collective strength as Flight Attendants, our history and power. It tells the world that we are united by wings. It means that we are never alone! It means that we have the right to speak up and we will use our voices to beat back discrimination and press forward on the issues that matter to Flight Attendants today.
It’s our legal right to wear our pin as a part of our uniform – including our newest flying partners still on probation. Wearing our pin means we take pride in our work as aviation’s first responders and we will always take action to defend our careers and our contracts.
With 54.6 million people expected to travel over the holiday period, this Thanksgiving is expected to be the third busiest since AAA started tracking travel volume in 2000. (The number peaked in 2005 and was second-highest right before the pandemic in 2019.)
Tens of thousands of Flight Attendants are in negotiations across the industry. Others are working to improve our careers outside of Section 6 contract negotiations. Let’s show management and the flying public our solidarity. Stand with your flying partners and put on your pin every single time you go to work.
No matter the uniform we wear, the routes we fly, or the years we have worn our wings, we are AFA. All in, wear your pin!
