This week, we highlighted Flight Attendants from Frontier and Endeavor.
Martinique Coleman, Mentor Chair, Frontier LEC 81.
“Martinique has been a Flight Attendant with Frontier for 11 years, but has been in the industry for 30 years. Martinique volunteered for this position to set the example – to show new hires that they can have longevity with positivity. Martinique set them up for success, not failure, and has built a solid group of over 30+ mentors to help out for Council 81. I'm excited and proud to nominate Martinique for Black History Month and want to continue and highlight all of her success at Frontier and Council 81.” – Ronald Bowman, AFA FA9 Council 81 LECP.
Karen Koonce, EAP MEC Chair, Endeavor
“The unsung hero of our Flight Attendant work group. Karen is the epitome of ‘working with a service heart’ and she deserves to be recognized for all of the Flight Attendants she helps behind the scenes. She's the one who is there for us when we need a helping hand.” — Elizabeth Mullins, Endeavor AFA MECP
