In this powerful new It’s Time Live podcast episode, SkyWest Flight Attendants Brandon, Kelly, Stephanie, and Gailen answer questiosn from new hire SkyWest Flight Attendants and chat about what’s really happening on the line—and why building our SkyWest AFA union is more urgent than ever.
Negotiations? What Negotiations?
SkyWest loosely copies union wins, adds pennies, and lets its company-controlled group take credit. They hold "votes," but without secure, independent processes or transparency. It’s not real negotiation—it’s management’s script. It’s time for a real union: SkyWest AFA.

United TA Rejection: Democracy in Action

Survey: Flight Attendants Speak Up
SkyWest Flight Attendants spoke up about what matters: significant pay increases, fair work rules, and real protections. Right now, management decides – with our union, we decide and lock it in a contract. Read our top priorities.
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.
