LATEST NEWS April 6, 2021 -- We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the progress we are making to get you the representation vote that you deserve and to set the record straight on some misleading claims that have been made by an increasingly scared and desperate incumbent union – the so called TWU/IAM “Association.”
April 5, 2021 -- We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy as we continue to navigate through this COVID-19 pandemic. We are cautiously optimistic as we continue to see the number COVID-19 cases decline throughout the US. Now that vaccines are introduced and several therapeutics are available for treatment, this may instill more confidence in public air travel. We are encouraged as we are starting to see positive trends in air travel. On Sunday, March 21, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened more than 1.5 million travelers in a single day — the highest traveler throughput in over a year. April 1, 2021, marked the 22th consecutive day that TSA checkpoint volume exceeded over 1 million passengers per day, a milestone also not observed since March 2020.
March 26, 2021 -- Due to the fact that we all work on airport property, which is federally controlled, we are required to adhere to the Federal Mask Mandate. If mask availability is a concern, please report this matter to your local safety representative. In addition to wearing masks, regular hand washing, using hand sanitizer, and social distancing are effective measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
