Representing Flight Attendants at EWR & LGA • Term begins January 2026
Thank you, Council 6 family. Because of your trust, I am honored to serve as your next Local Executive Council President. Our work together now shifts from campaigning to building a member-driven transition that uplifts every flight attendant at EWR and LGA.
This website will be your hub for updates from the president-elect office, transition milestones, and ways to stay engaged.
Dear Council 6 family,
With a full heart, thank you for electing me to be your next Local Executive Council President. Your encouragement, conversations, and courageous stories powered this victory. I heard you on doorsteps, in crew rooms, and on reserve lines—I carry every one of those voices with me.
Between now and January, I will focus on listening tours, staffing our office for in-person support, and launching communication tools that make it easy to track what your union is doing. Together we'll ensure that transparency, fairness, and proactive advocacy guide every decision.
Please keep sharing your questions, hopes, and concerns. This is our union, and I will always be accountable to you.
With respect and solidarity,
President-Elect, AFA Council 6 • EWR & LGA
