AFA-CWA Flight Attendants Demand Better Wages

AFA-CWA Flight Attendants (FAs) working for PSA Airlines held a Day of Action earlier this week with pickets at five airports, including Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (DAY), and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

The FAs are calling on PSA Airlines, a regional operator of American Airlines, to negotiate a living wage for regional flight attendants who are paid approximately 45 percent less for the same work. “We’ve faced operational meltdowns, gut-wrenching tragedy, and an impossible cost of living—while American Airlines celebrates record profits,” Sean Griffin, President of AFA-CWA Local 23075, told The Charlotte Post. “It’s time for a real contract with real pay.”
