A short LIVE Podcast to take a few questions and hopefully address some already asked about the letters all members received from TWU International. What does it mean? Hear Insights into what the letters say, what they don't say and my "Opinion" as an Elected Board Member.

I may be many things, but up front, open and willing to share my opinion I try to remain. So lets have a short, honest talk. There are things I cannot speak to, as I just do not know, and there are things that will be my opinion based on what I know and Ill be sure to make it clear what is opinion and what is fact.

So come on in and lets chat about it.

What is Labor Day, from child to adulthood?

When I was a kid, I genuinely thought Labor Day was the holiday where we honored mothers for, well… labor. I remember wondering why we didn’t have parades for women walking around with newborns and hospital bracelets, and why nobody was handing out “thank you for your service” cards to moms who had just gone through childbirth and caring for their young infants.

Now that I’m older (maybe slightly wiser), I’ve come to appreciate the actual meaning of Labor Day. The celebrating of the people who keep this country running, fighting for fairness, and standing together to make a safe working environment with good pay/benefits and a quality of life that can sustain us all and our families.

The actual definition of Labor Day: a federal holiday that celebrates the achievements, contributions, and strength of American workers.

So here’s to the labor movement, the unions, and all the hardworking folks out there. And to my childhood self I say, “sorry buddy, no balloons, no babies, just solidarity.”

Be Gentle on the comments, I cannot be the only one that didn't know what Labor Day was when I was a child.😅

During the Cabin Pressure Live Podcast, a member asked my opinion on the idea of Receivership. Basically, should the International assume control of the local, make some needed changes and install a trustee until we are ready to elect a new board.

Here was my answer… And this is my opinion as an elected board member. Also know that while opinion is shared here it may or may not represent the opinion of this locals executive board or the TWU International.

Don’t forget! We are LIVE September 1st! We have a few things to discuss but mostly I’m going to open the chat to questions/comments and concerns. We will stay as long as you like. Some talking point issues:

1. Where are we with Safety? Why so quiet? Update Incoming.

2. Where is the President? She’s been absent even more as of late…

3. Membership Meeting Discussions Continued.. Let’s get some answers to questions that were left unheard.

Anything else yall want to talk about. Remember, this LIVE CHAT and Podcast represent my opinions as an Elected Board Member and are in relation to happening within the union, our working conditions and rates of pay and while they are my opinion, they may or may not represent the opinions of the Executive Board and TWU LOCAL 556.

See ya September 1st.

STATEMENT FROM TWU LOCAL 556 REGARDING THE CABIN JUMPSEAT:

Earlier today, Southwest Airlines notified TWU Local 556 that the Flight Attendant jumpseat policy for non-revenue travel will revert to allowing all employees to occupy the jumpseat, regardless of whether they are crew-qualified.

This reversal was prompted by Southwest settling a grievance filed by another workgroup. As a result, Southwest Management has elected to broadly restore access to the jumpseat for all employees.

TWU Local 556’s position is that jumpseat occupancy should be limited to crew-qualified employees. This is not about privilege or access. It is about safety for everyone on the airplane.

Flight Attendants are aviation’s first responders in the cabin. We are trained and recurrently qualified in emergency procedures, evacuations and cabin safety. We know that an aircraft is safest when every person occupying a jumpseat has the required level of training and operational familiarity that Flight Attendants do.

Members should know that TWU Local 556 was not consulted on Management’s decision. As the front line of our operation, it is critical that we are consulted on all operational decisions that impact safety and our work environment. This issue directly impacts cabin safety and the workgroup responsible for it – yet the Company moved forward without engaging the safety professionals most affected by the policy.

Southwest elected to broadly restore access to the jumpseat for all employees. Management has indicated that jumpseat occupancy training will be required; however, Local 556 has not seen these requirements.

With certainty, we can say that TWU Local 556 will always advocate for training to adequately prepare someone for the jumpseat and all the duties and responsibilities that it entails. We will work closely with our Safety, Health and Security Committee as we navigate this reversal and regarding the development of jumpseat training per Article 25 in our contract.

Throughout this process, we have also seen comments that minimized the role of Flight Attendants and the responsibilities we carry every day. While disagreements over policy are expected, dismissing the expertise of aviation’s first responders in the cabin is neither productive nor reflective of the realities of our profession. We respect that many employees may welcome this change but dismissing or minimizing the role of Flight Attendants is unacceptable. Our concerns are rooted in safety, training and the responsibilities we carry every day.

Local 556 will continue to advocate for policies that recognize the safety-critical role of Flight Attendants, protect our crews and passengers, and require meaningful engagement with frontline workgroups before decisions are made about our work, our safety and our operation.

In Solidarity,
TWU Local 556

Today, Southwest Airlines informed TWU Local 556 that it is reversing its jumpseat policy and will once again allow all employees — regardless of crew qualifications — to occupy the jumpseat.

TWU Local 556’s position is that jumpseat occupancy should be limited to crew-qualified employees. This is not about privilege or access; it is about safety for everyone on the airplane.

Flight Attendants are aviation’s first responders in the cabin, trained and recurrently qualified in emergency procedures, evacuations and cabin safety. We know that an aircraft is safest when every person occupying a jumpseat has the required level of training and operational familiarity that Flight Attendants do.
