Status Update: What We’ve Done and What Comes Next

IT'S TIME!

Status update

Halfway to our union. Here's how we finish.

This campaign was started by SkyWest Flight Attendants and is run by SkyWest Flight Attendants. We chose AFA-CWA, a union led by Flight Attendants, and cards have been moving through trusted hands since before the campaign went public. Flight Attendants across the industry have stood with us. Two of the four steps to forming our union are behind us or underway. The rest is in our hands, starting today.

Started earlyCards were already coming inBefore this campaign went public, Flight Attendants were sending in AFA authorization cards. That foundation is what we're building on.

Not aloneThe whole profession is behind usFlight Attendants from across the industry have stood with us as we raise our collective voice.

AccountabilitySkyWest is answering in courtAFA-CWA and the U.S. Department of Labor have both taken legal action to hold SkyWest accountable for unlawful interference.

Every one of those happened because Flight Attendants acted. The next step happens the same way.

Forming our union

Four steps. Two down. Tap any one to open it.

1Choosing AFA and getting organizedComplete+

This campaign began when SkyWest Flight Attendants started asking a simple question: how do we gain a real voice on the job?

After researching our options, we chose AFA-CWA, a union led by Flight Attendants with a record of winning strong contracts, securing legal protections, and holding management accountable. That decision united us around a clear goal: a union strong enough to deliver real results.

Even before the campaign went public, many Flight Attendants were already sending in AFA authorization cards. That early organizing laid the foundation we're building on today.

2Signing cards and sharing the truthIn progress+

AFA authorization cards are how we legally show support for holding a union election. Signed cards are not public. SkyWest management does not receive them and does not know who signed. Your privacy and the security of your card are the campaign's top priority.

✓All SkyWest Flight Attendants, including new hires and those on probation, can legally sign.

1yCards are valid for one year. If it's been a while since you signed, refresh your card today at ooitstime.com/getcard.

Signing is one part of this step. The other is making sure our coworkers have access to the truth, especially in the face of misinformation and pressure from management. Sharing accurate information through trusted relationships, and pointing people to ooitstime.com, helps every Flight Attendant understand what's at stake and feel confident stepping up. Start with Flight Facts.

Organizing smart, even when management tries to undermine us. SkyWest management has repeatedly tried to slow this campaign through fear, pressure, and misinformation. Flight Attendants have answered with strategy and solidarity, spreading the word through trusted networks and staying grounded in the truth. This campaign is protected by law, guided by facts, and driven by Flight Attendants. AFA-CWA and the U.S. Department of Labor have both taken legal action to hold SkyWest accountable for unlawful interference. Our strength, though, comes from each other.

!If you face or witness retaliation or pressure, report it confidentially at ooitstime.com/report.

Flight Attendants are continuing to sign cards, share the campaign within their networks, and guide others to accurate information. We're making steady progress. With continued engagement from across the system, we'll be ready to take the next step together.

3Filing for a union electionNext+

Once we reach strong majority support, AFA files our signed cards with the National Mediation Board, the neutral federal agency that oversees airline union elections. The NMB verifies the submission and schedules our election.

4Voting to form our unionThen+

Every eligible SkyWest Flight Attendant votes through a secure, private process. A majority YES vote makes AFA our certified bargaining representative. That’s the day we have our union.

What winning unlocks

Then we get to build the contract.

A yes vote isn't the finish line. It's the key. For the first time, SkyWest Flight Attendants sit at the table as equals and write the terms we work under, built on our priorities, our needs, and our expectations.

We negotiateOur committee, our prioritiesWe nominate SkyWest Flight Attendants to our negotiating committee. AFA's professional staff, including experts in bargaining, law, and safety, backs that team at every step.

We ratifyNothing takes effect without our voteA tentative agreement comes to us, the SkyWest Flight Attendants, for a vote. A majority YES puts it into effect. A NO sends us back to the table.

What our first contract is built around:

$Fair pay and step increases

⏱Schedule and reserve protections

★Hotel standards, rest rules, and commuter policies

§Legal representation and grievance protections

+Healthcare, retirement, and more

↓A shorter new-hire probationary period

✓Enforceable, in writing, for the life of the agreement.

✓Followed because it's a contract, not because it suits the company that week.

Know the facts

True no matter what management says.

FactYou will not pay union dues until a contract is approved.

+

This is written into the AFA-CWA Constitution and Bylaws. Dues begin only after SkyWest Flight Attendants vote to ratify a first contract.

FactYou are legally protected when you support the union.

+

You have the right to sign a card, talk about AFA, and wear an AFA pin. Report interference by management at ooitstime.com/report.

FactSIA is not a union.

+

It cannot negotiate a contract, file grievances, or legally represent Flight Attendants. It exists to keep us from gaining the real rights that only a union provides.

The bottom line

We've done the hard part. We finish this together.

SkyWest management isn't fighting this campaign because they care about us. They're fighting it because they don't want to lose control. Today they make decisions without transparency or accountability, and the policies we work under are followed or ignored at their discretion. A contract we negotiate, built on our priorities and enforceable by us, changes that.

We've made it this far by sharing the truth, standing up for each other, and refusing to give up. Halfway is not a place to rest. It's the point where every card, every conversation, and every pin counts double, because the next step is the one that gets us to a vote.

We're informed. We're united. And we're ready. Let's finish what we started, together.
