The History of AFA Frontier

In 2009 with less than 1000 Flight Attendants, Frontier Airlines was bought out by Republic Airways. Faced with the reality of a merger and growing frustrated of being overworked and undervalued, and tired of being fearful of company retaliation, it was time to vote for a unionize. 

After over a year of campaigning,  Frontier Flight Attendants voted to join the largest Flight Attendant Union, Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) on May 20, 2010. Many will say the choice was easy. AFA, the Union option that focused solely on Flight Attendants, beat the competition with over 60% of the vote.

Frontier Flight Attendants even made AFA history, being the first airline to use social media in its organizing campaign and efforts. 

"AFA allows Flight Attendants to have a legally recognized voice to negotiate with management and gain protections that are specific to the needs of Frontier flight attendants."

AFA represents over 50,00 Flight Attendants at over 20 airlines.
