What is FlightPAC?

FlightPAC is the best way to make your voice heard in Washington. It is the most important tool that AFA has to help elect Senators and Representatives who understand and defend the issues important to flight attendants. It provides AFA with access to Members of Congress that in turn allows AFA Government Relations to make our case for the issues that affect flight attendants.

Is FlightPAC bi-partisan?

Yes. We give to candidates who help flight attendants. We send questionnaires to candidates to get their views on flight attendant issues. In turn, we will support those who respond favorably, regardless of party affiliation. AFA understands that not all of our members have the same political/social beliefs. The fact remains that there are issues that affect all members. These include OSHA protections, certification, the right to collective bargaining, air quality and a host of other workplace related issues. AFA does not factor in the social views of any of our members or the candidates we choose to contribute to.

Why should I give?

To protect your job, earn a livable wage and make the cabin a safer and healthier work environment. If this is important to you, AFA encourages you to participate in FlightPAC. Some major battles have already commenced for AFA in this 108th Congress. We have gained momentum on our priority issues and we need all AFA members to contribute and keep this momentum going.

Airline PAC’s and executives gave over $5 million last election cycle. AFA contributions were around $160,000. We still pulled off some great victories, but we need to elect more Members who are friendly to our issues. Campaigns are becoming outrageously expensive and our candidates need our help more than ever.
