 AFA is saddened to learn that long time Flight Attendant advocate and former Council 11 LEC President Kathy Hutchens passed away on January 31, 2019. Kathy played a big part in setting up San Francisco to be the strong and active Local Council it is today.  She negotiated Contracts for us and perhaps most importantly, was instrumental in creating FlightPAC and raising political awareness on Flight Attendant issues and concerns locally in San Francisco and Washington DC.  Our political clout and recognition on Capitol Hill today is a direct result of Kathy's early advocacy.  

Private services were held last week on San Francisco Bay.  A gathering to celebrate Kathy is being planned for the spring.
