White House Signals It Feels Pressure to Save Airline Jobs. But Congress Must Act.

August 26, 2020 — Dear Flight Attendants:

Our actions to save our jobs are working. We are creating pressure with our calls, emails, and direct actions at Congressional offices.

We Need Relief Now

August 19, 2020 — NEW! Tomorrow, August 20th at 10am ET, join AFA International President Sara Nelson and ALPA President Capt. Joe DePete on Facebook Live on our fight to extend the aviation Payroll Support Program. By taking action together, we can get this done. View Live on AFA's Facebook Page >

Does Your Representative or Senator Support the PSP Extension?

August 19, 2020 — Flight Attendants and aviation workers do not accept inaction from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Congress. We need #ReliefNow and to #ExtendPSP. An overwhelming majority of Congress supports an extension to the Payroll Support Program for aviation workers to avoid massive job loss in October. We need a COVID-19 relief package with our payroll support passed TODAY.

Update on Our PSP Extension Fight

August 14, 2020 — Flight Attendants and other aviation workers will not accept inaction from Congress. Even though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has recessed the Senate, both he and Speaker Pelosi have stated they will bring Congress back to vote if an overall COVID-19 relief deal is reached. Congressional staff is still working and leadership is still able to meet.
