STEPHANIE · PSPThanks for connecting! You are welcome here.
I'm a SkyWest Flight Attendant, just like you. Here is what I want you to know before anything else.
Thank you for reaching out. I'm profoundly grateful you did, and I want you to know how welcome you are here.
It takes courage to ask for information, request an authorization card, or say, "I want to get involved." I understand that feeling. I'm a SkyWest Flight Attendant, just like you, and I want to feel supported, confident, and hopeful about our future, too.
When I'm on the line, passing through the concourse, or sitting in a crew room and see another Flight Attendant wearing an AFA pin, I feel a connection before we've even spoken. I see your courage, and it gives me courage, too. I respect and admire your willingness to stand up for a better work life for SkyWest Flight Attendants.
You may never know who will see you wearing your AFA pin, or how much they needed that reminder that they're not alone. That small pin carries a powerful message. It's a shield, not a target. It represents unity, solidarity, and our commitment to stand beside one another. Wear it proudly, knowing there are others standing with you.
A shield, not a target.
Someone on your next trip needs to see it more than you know.
There are more Flight Attendants working on our campaign than you may realize. We are quietly and gracefully building connections, sharing information, and supporting one another. It takes hundreds of us working together for the collective good of SkyWest Flight Attendants, and every single person has a superpower to contribute. Maybe yours is starting a conversation, listening, sharing a post, or helping someone complete and mail their card. What you can do matters.
What's your superpower?
Tap the one that sounds most like you to see what it means for the campaign, and for the union we are building. This stays on your screen.
Every union that has ever been built started with someone willing to say hello first. Today that means a conversation on the jumpseat or in the van. Later it means welcoming new hires into a union that is theirs from day one. We need people who make the first move, now and for years to come.
Coworkers tell you things they would never post. That trust is rare, and it is exactly what a union is made of. Today it helps us understand what SkyWest Flight Attendants actually need. Once we have our contract, it is what makes a great grievance representative, the person a coworker calls on the worst day of their career.
You remember names, bases, who commutes from where. That web of relationships is how a campaign reaches a crew room it has never set foot in, and later it is how a union stays close to its members instead of becoming a distant office. You are the reason nobody feels like a stranger here.
A policy change is a line in a manual until someone tells what it did to their month. Your story is evidence, and it is also permission for others to tell theirs. Campaigns move on stories, and so do negotiations: when our committee sits across from the company, your account of the job is what they carry in.
When the fear talk starts, people look around to see who isn't rattled. That is you, and it changes what everyone else decides. That same steadiness is what a bargaining table and a tough meeting with management call for. We are going to need people who hold their ground without raising their voice.
Someone has to make sure the card gets mailed, the meeting has a room, the follow-up gets made. That is not small work; it is the work. A union runs on people like you, from base meetings to the committees that will carry our priorities into our first contract.
A text that says you've got this. A thank-you to someone wearing the pin for the first time. You are the reason people stay in after the first hard conversation, and you are the kind of leader a union needs: one who lifts others rather than standing over them.
You notice when a policy quietly changes, when a question goes unanswered, when the same thing happens at three bases. Bring it to us: the campaign runs on what you notice. And once we have a contract, people like you are how it gets enforced, because you are the one who sees when it isn't being followed.
If you've requested an authorization card, thank you. When it arrives, please complete it, sign it, and mail it back. If you have questions, let's talk. I want you to feel confident about that next step and supported as you take it.

Please always feel free to reach out to me. I may not know every answer, but I will put you in touch with someone who can help. We have a team of people here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and support you.
Let's work together to spread the word and share that courage. You are not alone. I'm so grateful for you, and I look forward to meeting you or talking with you.
Stronger Together. Better Together.
