Delivering a safe, warm, and welcoming experience for our passengers is central to who we are as Flight Attendants and key to the security of our careers. But for inflight service to truly work, procedures and galley space must be realistic and manageable for working crews. ✨

This November, we’re excited to spotlight our Inflight Service Committee! Our Committee is made up of fellow Flight Attendants who volunteer their time to represent us and serve as our collective voice to management. ✈️

Watch our intro video featuring MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairpersons Chase Vandergrift and Bianca McKee to see how our Committee advocates for doable service standards across our combined airlines! 🎥

Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Update – October 2026 🚨

Our ASHSC is fighting for Flight Attendant safety and well-being! Here are key highlights from our latest meeting with management:

✈️ Inflight Duty Managers (IFDM): Six former Flight Attendants now staff the company’s Network Operations Center 24/7, proactively supporting crews after significant events. We’ve asked for clearer info on how to reach them.

🛫 Aisle Armrest Safety: We’re pushing for ALL fleets—not just the 737—to require lowered aisle armrests during taxi, takeoff, and landing for maximum safety.

🔊 Fasten Seatbelt Sign: We want automated announcements when the sign is illuminated on all fleets, reducing task overload for Flight Attendants and improving passenger compliance.

🛏️ 787 Crew Rest: Used linen bags are blocking emergency egress. Management is forming a group to find safer storage solutions.

🩺 Emergency Medical Kits: A finger pulse oximeter is budgeted for 2027. We’re advocating for more upgrades.

📲 B2B Messaging: We flagged misuse by Customer Service Agents, which causes Flight Attendants’ time-sensitive messages to be missed. Management will address this.

❄️ Cold Weather Uniforms: We’re fighting for functional hoods, water-resistant outerwear, and better warmth for our crews.

⚡ Lithium-Ion Battery Safety: We’re reviewing procedures for large mobility-device batteries and pushing for improved stowage and fire-containment training.

🚪 Exit Row Clarification: We requested clearer guidance for passengers with braces or boots.

And more! We’re also tackling tight connection times, air freshener safety, head-strike hazards, and much more on your behalf.

For a full recap and details on all topics discussed—including new safety initiatives and ongoing projects like the Scout reporting app and cross-fleet certification—check out the full article at the link in the comments.
