More than 150 flight attendants, joined by U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Garcia (D-Ill) and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill), picketed outside O’Hare Airport on Tuesday to protest the lack of contract negotiations and demand better wages and working conditions. The flight attendants in Chicago were joined by thousands of other flight attendants across major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles and Boston, as part of the Worldwide Flight Attendant Day of Action. More than two-thirds of U.S. flight attendants across 24 airlines are in contract negotiations, including with Chicago-based United Airlines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines. “We are the faces of our carriers. We deserve better work rules, we deserve shorter work days and we also deserve longer rest periods,” said Dray Howard, Chicago-based president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, during a news conference. Flight attendants at American Airlines haven’t seen a salary or cost-of-living increase in five years, Howard said, and some new hires can barely survive, even when picking up trips on their days off, she said.

The 80+ year old pilot/mechanic I’ve been volunteering with at the museum gave me a bunch of articles and aviation pamphlets he saved thru the years hoping someone else might find them interesting, I told him I will share them with many others who may also find them interesting. This one in particular he pointed at this one and said, “Oh I’ve done that. Strike. Many, many times. Never be afraid to do so when needed.”  “In this industry especially, you will never know how many lives that will save.”

Why appoint Sam Wilkins, a known company cheerleader, who also has a history of bullying flight attendants and violating the Railway Labor Act? Chris Click finished third in the 2018 NT elections. He applied for the newly appointed NT position.

And Chris didn't get the appointment. Are you serious, TWU 556 Executive Board? Why Sam?
