My co-workers who volunteer for the AFA are dedicated to protect members' interests, making career improvements while advocating safe working conditions for all. No matter what has happened in my life or career, the AFA has always been there to help. All I had to do was ask.

Life is an adventure. Travel and take risks.

Eileen Gross Council 6 - EWR

AFA means having the opportunity to protect and further the rights of workers. and it has taught me to be a positive and proactive force in the democratic process.

Tammy Carrico Meigs Council 65 - GUM

AFA is my union of choice. AFA has been my family and my foundation for everything I do at this airline.
