days until our Collective Agreement expires, we are preparing, we are united and we will make change.

Season’s Greetings!

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

 

Every day of every week of every month of every year our members make personal sacrifices in their role as Flight Attendants.  This has never been more true than in 2020.  This year brought with it a whole host of challenges, the likes of which we have never seen in our lifetime, and you did not back down.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, our members have performed essential work under extremely trying circumstances. At the outset, Flight Attendants answered the government’s call to bring Canadians home from abroad, in spite of the personal risks involved. Canada is a large country, and throughout the pandemic, Canadians have continued to depend on air travel to connect communities and commerce alike. Flight attendants have performed a vital role in keeping this critical industry in the air.

While the holidays might look very different this year, their meaning remains the same.  The Christmas message, even in a time of pandemic, is one that is primarily about hope.

Although 2020 may see the cancellation of some holiday festivities, it will never cancel holiday cheer!  Wherever you are and however you are celebrating, we send you our warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season and we look forward to a brighter 2021!

 

In solidarity,
