As reported last month, the MEC Officer elections for the merged MEC will be conducted on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, with an effective date of March 1, 2025. The Alaska and Hawaiian Local Council Presidents and the respective MEC Officers from each airline will meet in person in San Francisco for these elections.
The International Office oversees the process of merging the MECs. AFA’s Membership Department is collecting Willingness to Serve forms and resumes from interested candidates for the three officer positions.

Submit your Willingness to Serve through this form.

Email your resume to Int’l Secretary-Treasurer Dante Harris at [email protected].
On Tuesday, January 7th the candidates who had completed this process were first posted publicly in the merger section of the AFA International website. If there are additional Flight Attendants who submit a willingness to serve, the Membership Department will continue to update the candidate page at the end of each business day at afacwa.org/AlaskaHawaiian. Candidates are strongly encouraged to announce their interest by January 15th for consideration by the Local Council Presidents representing both Alaska and Hawaiian Flight Attendants. Interviews for the positions will be conducted at the January 29th meeting. It is preferred that candidates appear in person in San Francisco. Candidates may request a virtual interview if their schedule and travel prohibits an in person interview.
