Retirees Speak Up!

Thank you for keeping us retirees informed of what is going on with the LAX family. Thank you also for posting the pictures on the memorial for our colleagues. Sometimes the names fade from our memory, but never the faces. -- Lisandre, LAXSW Retired

I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you how much I admire the local AFA website. So user friendly and it looks great. And it's so full of the kind of info every FA needs. -- LAXSW Retired

This website is awesome, even after retirement! It keeps me up to date and active on the issues that retirees and active F/As need to know about. I love having the ability to continue supporting my fellow F/As. - LAXSW Retired

Your website is awesome! -- LAXSW Retired

What a good looking website! Thanks for the Retiree Page! - LAXSW Ret'd
