I am truly blessed to have an awesome team at our LAX AFA office!!!

The only reason I was prepared with the right questions in meeting with a supervisor is thanks to you and the AFALAX website. Vital info is quickly and easily available at ANY flight attendants' fingertips.

 

Please know I realize and appreciate everything you guys do!

Our Union in L.A. ROCKS!

You guys work so hard, kudos to you! As always, keep up the good work and thank you for your time, committment and efforts to make sure we have jobs, money and time off!!

 

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on the AFALAX.org website.  I think it's great!  So many questions answered by just a click of the mouse!

Thank you Darren and your office for putting together this website. I am going on a medical leave and having all the forms needed right there at my finger tips to download. Is making this leave a lot easier to deal with. In finding the link to the medical forms I needed I was able to search some of the other links you have available. Wow!! The information you have on here is amazing. You have basically covered every detail we need for LAX and our job. I only hope other flight attendants take the time to play around on the site. The education they will equip themselves with will only help them with our job and  help them KNOW THEIR RIGHTS! Thank you again for your Hard Work!

 

I'm sitting here reading the "heads up" about scheduling contract violations (from the AFALAXNEWS e-newsletter) and realized how important your e-mails are to me. Though I carry my contract, know and read thru it and have flown for almost 40 years as a purser, I still learn (or my brain gets refreshed) about something every time I read your communications. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

Thank you so much for all that you have done on my behalf.  You are truly appreciated J


Thanks again for your super quick response!!


I thank you ALL for your tireless work on our behalf. We don't say it enough but you are close to our hearts.

 

You guys are the greatest...thanks for all the hard work. LAXSW is lucky to have you and Karrie!

 

I want to also thank you for your prompt attention - it is nice to know that we have a Union that really does get back to you, and help you out....I can't tell you how much better that alone makes me feel...Good Job, and thank you so very much for being there for us....

 

Thank you Darren & Karrie! We're so glad you're there for us each and every day! You are both appreciated very much...  

 Jumpseatnews.com Blog (thanks for the thumbs up!)

Finally! Info on MY time, anytime - thanks!


I have to tell you, and I'm sure that you hear it often, but the web site for LAX is really one of the best...all of the info for new hires, the commuters, etc. Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf!

ALL MY BEST TO YOU HARD WORKERS. MANY BLESSINGS!

I can’t thank you enough for the **phenomenal** work you do on our behalf. Many, many heartfelt thanks!


Thanks for all the info---you do a wonderful job for us. You ARE the BEST!!!

 

Thank you so much! Especially for all YOU do for us!

The AFALAX website looks amazing! I am proud to fly with such compassionate and committed people like you.

Thank you for all you do and the time and effort you put in!

Thanks for your quick response and your commitment to our union!

I'm so happy to know LAX have advocates with integrity to assist us in our workplace.


I had FOUR rumors from the line addressed in ONE visit alone!

Sometimes it's easier to talk to an AFA rep, but the information here is truly AMAZING! Thank you!

It's hard not to get jumbled with all the legalities and I am grateful for the printed material, the website and the council members available to help figure them out.

IMPRESSIVE! That's all I've got to say.

Thanks so much for you assistance, it means so much to me. I want you to know what a good job you're doing. The web site wouldn't be there without your efforts!

I want to thank you for your hard work with our union in LA!

I hope to actually meet you one day – you're such a positive asset to our union. I will always be a supporter of our union!


Thank you, thank you for this wonderful website!

YOU GUYS ARE SO ON THE BALL!!!!  YIPPEE for AFA LEADERS who really CARE. KUDOS guys!

This is just the kind of support that we need. Too bad we don't get that kind of support from the company. But at least there are people like you who really DO care.


Thanks for the time & devotion you give to us!

Thank you, thank you for this brilliant website. The pictures on the memorial page are so important!

Just a quick note to say thank you for the tribute section. Sometimes it's hard to place a "picture" with a name, but the new page helps us remember and recognize those that we've lost. Thanks again, Susan

I want to thank you again for the individual attention that you gave me. Thank you for your tireless work that you devote to us all.


AFA needs you! AFA is YOU! Contact your local AFA office and volunteer today!" -Nita (Retired, ORDSW)

Thank you for your follow up phone call and for caring!

I am certainly glad that AFA is out there to clear things up!

 

Thanks for your great job supporting us!


I understand the Letter of Charge steps now and thank you for making it accessible to me from the comfort of my home and on my schedule. We're all busy, so it's nice to know you're there keeping us informed thru the site.

Thank you for all the information provided on the AFA site. I find it very helpful with all the issues and concerns out there.

My sincerest thanks on the wonderful job you've done. Your website is fantastic - the personal time and commitment you provide to the issues facing F/As does not go unnoticed!

It's always easier to complain than to actually do something - I really appreciate everything that you've done to help me..

 

I didn't have to make a single call. All the info I needed was right here. Simple, easy to use, and on my time. Bravo AFA LAX!

Thanks for doing such a wonderful job as our LEC!!!

I am so very proud of your organization's work on behalf of flight personnel. I must admit that it is disheartening to observe that the important duties and heroic roles of the F/As, past and present, continue to go unrecognized by the general public, even in the aftermath of 9/11.-- Cathie Ong (sister of AA Flt 11 F/A 
Betty Ong)

With all the recent media "speculatives" and "tabloid-like talk" - it's nice to find relevant and factual bits of info related to LAX and our careers. THANKS for keeping us sane! Also, for the merger link (AFA Merger Policy) on our home page!

The information provided by AFA LAX regarding
review of my work history fully prepared me for this meeting. It's easy to maintain professionalism when you know what to expect. Thanks again for all the info provided!  -- LAXSW, Nov 2006

I can't believe this doesn't cost us hundreds of dollars! Just maintaining it must not be easy. You've got my attention! Thanks for working so hard to keep F/As informed!

I am glad to see FAs using the power of e-mail and notifying our local AFA volunteers of contractual violations. If everyone would e-mail and document when the company does not come through with what they have agreed to in the Contract, it would strengthen our cause. I commend every FA who calls and e-mails to alert AFA so something can be done. Thank you! At least someone is listening and AFA is trying. Again, thank you for all your efforts, and thank you local AFA! -- Sincerely, Elizabeth, LAXSW

The website is the best communication tool the local council has ever had!

When the TSA mandates changed due to the most recent threat, the AFA LAX site gave the most up to date information. Thank you for getting back to me on my questions right away and for all that you do.

Want you to know what a good job you are doing. The web site would not be there with out your efforts!


Keep up the wonderful work. It's people like you in "our corner" who keep us going!!

Wow, when you get on something you really get it done!

I love the AFA Reference Card...thank you so much! I appreciate your hard work and efforts...

You are a wealth of knowledge and a true advocate for the Flight Attendants at United!

Thanks for all the updates. I've noticed that communications from Council 12 have become more informative & timely. I am very appreciative since communication is paramount to our success as F/As.

I'm impressed - and will remember to check the site as often as I can!

Thank you for all the work you've done for F/As!

I appreciate the true news…I don't buy into or get caught up in the “talk” on the line.  The site helps keep me informed! J

Thanks for keeping an eye out for us reserves, that's what we need...

Thanks for your hard work, more than I can say...


Thanks for always answering my emails in such a timely manner! I always have my voice heard, and love our union! I am thankful for the AFA Activists at LAX!

Many thanks for taking the ball and running with it! The site is out of this world!

Thanks so much for always being so prompt at calling me back and answering my questions!

Thanks for the great and sometimes thankless job you do for all of us!  Know that there are many who are taking notice, and appreciate you!


Thank you for letting me vent via email. I am glad we have a website to keep in touch with what's going on here at LAX! Everyone needs to visit our site - it is all about our jobs and our domicile!

The ability to move between subjects on your site works well, and its all there if you look for it!! Keep up the great work!!

There is an enormous amount of positive remarks from the line. I have never heard anything but awesome kudos for the LAX AFA website. The LEC website is by far the best improvement that AFA has produced in many, many years. Thank you for all of the endless hours that you put in to keep the website current!

Thanks for keeping an eye out for us - promise to do my part too!

The site is truly a blessing. I get immediate answers by visiting the site all the time. Thanks for your support!

I love the AFALAX.org website. It even appeals to me as an Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant! Keep up the great work on the website!

Appreciate your website and dedication to keeping us all informed!

Thanks for 'saving' me - the info on the site kept me from discipline. I will never forget what you've done for me! Thank you.

I very much enjoy the LEC website. I’ve been out for more than a year now, and you’ve been my conduit for information and made me still feel connected. I love the easy to navigate format of the site, and my ability to find what I'm looking for quickly. I also appreciate that you have answered questions in a timely manner that weren't covered. Keep up the great work.


This is AFA "working" at the local level! I am so appreciative!

Appreciate all you do (and REALLY love your website)!

You are doing an amazing job...I have found many items on our site and JUMPSEATNEWS....that allows my job to go so much smoother...when I have a question I always seek via our LAX site or JSN first...In almost every case, I find what I am looking for in an easy to understand answer.  Thanks again.

Excellent work on the AFALAX website! You all have really compiled a wonderful, informative and aesthetically pleasing site. So much great information. Quite proud of our website. No other is like this!

Thank you very much for volunteering in our union. Your efforts are very much appreciated. It's great that I can get all the information through your AFALAXNEWS.

You guys are awesome...now that's what friends and union dues are all about...so thank you for doing what you do...without going on here...we appreciate it, and thanks again..

GREAT JOB...THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT!

You're doing a great job! We're grateful for everything you guys do!

Your work on my behalf has greatly reduced my stress level, and I appreciate your hard work and time.

Love the website by the way! : )

I like the page that gives us the necessary contacts with the company. It has helped me many times when I need to contact them.

 

I've got nothing but LOVE for our website! Just saying 'thanks' doesn't do it!

Finally - a place to call my home (page)!

Thank you for keeping us informed and staying on top of our rights!

Instant Gratification. Thanks!

I'm a first time visitor and have a lot of catching up to do! There's so much great info I don't know where to start!

I appreciated the website...

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

You are wonderful! Thanks! This is priceless stuff!

Thank you for your time and all the work you do for us!

Thanks for watching out for us!  : )

 

I want to do the right thing by knowing what I am doing is correct and to actually leave you (AFA) out of having to intervene, after all, it is my job to know my contractual rights!

Thanks for the info.


Thank you for being there for all of us and keeping on top of all the many issues we face. I appreciate all that you do!  : )

Hey, nice site!

Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.

Continued Success and Blessings!
 
I didn't know THAT!!!!!!!
 
The website looks great and it has so much information good to have handy at the click of a mouse! I hope F/As will use it to stay informed at all times, because information is our only tool for preparing ourselves for upcoming events or protecting ourselves from the events that are already happening.

Keep up the GREAT work!
 
THANK YOU FOR THIS WEBSITE!  
IT IS LOADED WITH INFORMATION AND LONG OVERDUE!

Thanks so much for your time and dedication.

I was given incorrect information on the
defined contribution plan on my last trip. I told them I didn't think they were understanding the plan correctly and gave them our website address. I came home and found clarifying information and am glad I did!
 
GREAT LOOK!!!! I can hardly wait to see what comes next!

The newsletter ROCKS!!

 
Well done....I love it ....thank you and hope that 2006 is a better year!!!

I really appreciate everything AFA does!
 
What a great website! Everything I need to know is on this site. I accessed Medical's phone to schedule an appointment for today. And I know how to get there now, too!
 

Just looked at your website...excellent job, love it...great work.

Thanks for all that you do for us at LAX!

 
THE SITE MADE ME SMILE. FINALLY!

Great job you're doing - thanks for all you do!

I've just become a subscriber to AFALAXNEWS, and glad I'm now connected to LAX. I look forward to using the site for information and to forward my concerns and issues and questions.

Very nice job!

Keep up the awesome job you do!  There are many, many of us who truly appreciate everything you do!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I am very happy to see that you have brought LAX into the 21st century and have once again engaged people's mind into what they do. LAX can accomplish great things and hopefully you will be able to continue engaging more F/As in the process. We are only strong in numbers and when we understand the rules of engagement.

I learned about your website, it is absolutely the best in the system!

GREAT JOB, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.  LAX IS IN GOOD HANDS!

Thanks for all of your hard work. Just want to let you know that I took advantage of the complimentary theater tix to the musical "Tick! Tick! Boom!  I got 5 friends to join me (FREE!) and we all had an awesome time. Just letting you know that some of us are taking advantage of these opportunities, so keep them coming! - Monica


Hey, Thanks so much for the free ticket arrangements! I saw the play “Tick tick boom!” It was really good and entertaining. It left me wanting more fun! Just wanted to let you know, and thank you as well. - Sylvie

Thanks for the comp tickets to Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal - it was fun and I finally had an opportunity to see the performing arts district!  The Grand Ave. Festival was a bonus that day!  -- Carlyn

THANK YOU! I took 3 girlfriends this afternoon with the free tickets ("SOUVENIR") you made available thru AFALAX.org to see this most HILARIOUS, AWESOME, and delightfully touching play at the Brentwood Theatre. We had such a great time and would never have know anything about this if you hadn't made this opportunity available. The acting was so personally involving and riveting. Loved the story and the lessons it left us to ponder....Much appreciative, Cindy

Thank you...the site is VERY informative!

I just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate all your efforts! Thanks for all you do!
