Thank you to all who particpated in the FACC Survey.
The construction of the FACC survey was overseen by experienced
researchers and the calculations were supported by an outside vendor that
specializes in surveys.
We stated that the surveys were valid and it is statistically reliable as a sampling
of the flight attendant population. Every survey has limitations. Limitations included the fact that flight attendants who participated in the survey may not be familiar enough with
some of the important differences in the contracts and the AFA has made no credible effort to educate the membership. However, many of the comments on the survey by the flight attendants who participated indicated a strong understanding of basic issues in each others contracts.

We are earnestly trying to promote a more member friendly and democratic
union. We would like the AFA to listen to what the membership wants and not
what they would like to dictate to the rank and file as they have done for the last three
decades. We are making no attempt to be less obvious and have been absolutely
clear about asking for reform in how AFA is structured (currently a top down pyramid).

The FACC consists of flight attendants who volunteer their time and effort
with considerable risk of retaliation for refusing to accept the status quo.
The UA MEC does not even have the integrity to disclose the results of
their survey. We released our survey results and information with no guarantee that it will have any impact on those who are supposed to be negotiating a single contract on our
behalf. However, they can never deny that you gave a voice in the
survey. And as we have stated in almost every one of our emails, your
opinion should count.
