For HOU-based Flight Attendant and TWU Local 556 DEBM Edward Marq, his Mexican heritage lives in the family traditions he grew up with—and in the meals he loves to cook and share.

After more than 20 years as a Flight Attendant, Edward has found another connection to his heritage through the labor movement. He now serves as an elected Union representative and President of the Houston Chapter of LCLAA.

Thank you, Edward, for sharing your story this Hispanic Heritage Month.

Earlier today, TWU 556 was notified by Members that there were issues with the Reserve Secondary Electronic Bidding System (EBS) displaying positions on the Vacation Relief (VR) lines and one of the filters. This issue did not affect CrewBid.
We immediately notified Crew Planning. We received an update that the EBS positions and filters are all correct as of 1900 CST.

TWU 556 and Crew Planning have agreed to extend bidding until 1900 CST on 9/14.
All other timelines after that will remain the same.

This is not a rebid. If you submitted your bid today, we would suggest cross-checking your bids to ensure accuracy.

Today, September 11th, I pause to remember the lives lost and the countless lives forever changed 25 years ago.

As a flight attendant, aviation is more than a career to me. It is a community and a way of life. September 11th changed our industry forever, but it also reminded us of the courage, compassion, and resilience that exist within it.

I especially remember the flight attendants, pilots, airline employees, passengers, first responders, and every innocent life taken that day.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their memories and the families who carry their loss.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
