SkyWest Flight Attendants for AFA-CWA

Our Voice. Our Union. Our Time.

SkyWest's base pay may look competitive, but management holds all the cards until we gain a union contract. They control the policies, write the rules, and can—and do—chip away at our pay and protections through scheduling tricks, policy changes, and behind-the-scenes clawbacks. Worse, without “just cause” or a real grievance process, they will continue to unfairly discipline or even fire any of us, with no accountability and no way to fight back.

It’s time to change that.

By signing your AFA-CWA union card, you’re taking the first step toward:

  • Enforceable contracts that protect pay and work rules

  • A real voice in scheduling, duty days, and seniority protections

  • A union run by us, not dictated by management

  • Legal power to challenge unfair treatment

We deserve stability, fairness, and transparency—and we only get that by organizing together.

To win our union election, we must collect AFA cards from a strong majority of SkyWest Flight Attendants. That’s why it’s crucial that everyone sign a card, mail it in, and share cards with coworkers they know and fly with. Every signature moves us one step closer to
voting YES for our union.

Sign your card now and help us vote in our SkyWest AFA Union.

As We Rise, the Truth Comes Out: Lawsuits Expose SkyWest and SIA
As We Rise, the Truth Comes Out: Lawsuits Expose SkyWest and SIA

The dismissal of criminal charges against two whistleblower Flight Attendants proves what we’ve known all along—SkyWest management will lie, retaliate, and twist the truth to maintain control. They’ve acted like the law doesn’t apply to them. But it does. And now, through SkyWest AFA, we have the power to hold them accountable. Organizing is how we take that power back—how we protect each other, speak up without fear, and finally put a check on management's abuses.

SkyWest and SIA Lash Out—But We’re Standing Strong

SIA and SkyWest are once again trying to silence Flight Attendants—this time by suing AFA and even targeting one of their own. But this desperate move only proves what we already know: they’re scared of what we’re building. While they attack, AFA stands strong, fighting for real representation, real rights, and a union that answers only to us.

We won’t be intimidated. We’re organizing, we’re united, and we’re just getting started.

New Hires Deserve Better Than Management’s Fear Tactics

As fellow SkyWest Flight Attendants, we created Lifelines to build a supportive community that addresses the challenges faced by those in initial training and just starting out on the line. Unfortunately, management has spread misinformation and used fear tactics to discourage new hires from connecting with pro-union colleagues who are advocating for the best interests of all Flight Attendants, including our newest crew members.

Let’s clear the air.

The Department of Labor’s (DOL) recent lawsuit against the SkyWest Inflight Association (SIA) once again confirms what many of us have known for a long time: SIA is an illegal company union operating at the behest of management, not for the Flight Attendants it claims to represent.

Why Coworkers Join Management's Anti-Union Campaign: An Empathetic Look

Unionization is a hot topic at SkyWest Airlines. While many Flight Attendants advocate for union representation through AFA, some side with management's anti-union stance due to misinformation and fear. SkyWest's anti-union propaganda and pressure on certain Flight Attendants create a tough environment for questioning the status quo. Understanding these dynamics with empathy reveals that true protection and safeguarding of rights come from union support, empowering a unified and informed workforce.
