What is COPE/FlightPAC?
 The AFA-CWA Committee on Political Education, COPE/FlightPAC, is the best way to make your voice heard in Washington. It is the most important tool that AFA-CWA has to help elect Senators and Representatives who understand and defend the issues important to flight attendants. It provides AFA-CWA with access to Members of Congress that in turn allows AFA-CWA Government Relations to make our case for the issues that affect flight attendants.
AFA-CWA's goal is the enactment of legislation on issues affecting our jobs and workplace so we are not forced to address them at the bargaining table with our employers. This allows us to focus bargaining on improvements in wages and benefits. COPE/FlightPAC is a critically important tool to get us to that goal.
Is COPE/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-CWA 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-CWA does not factor in the social views of any of our members or the candidates we choose to contribute to.
