You already know. The language speaks for itself. Ever since AMFA took over from the failing teamsters, AMFA has improved all work language better protecting the members from the teamsters wide open unrestricted outsourcing language. And AMFA has also nego Industry Leading contracts at each and every new carrier they are brought into for representation and are still doing it. And we all know AMFA/SWA Mechanics are the highest compensated in the airlines and it was AMFA that was able to attain this level of nego's to obtain it.
Now, for the men and women of Alaska/Hawaiian Mechanics Class and Craft, we are coming up on the 24 hour countdown starting at 2pm today. I wish all of you the best of luck in your representational voting for a single union representative. Do not fall for ANY of the IAM and others rhetoric and propaganda about AMFA. Notice ALL their propaganda is all IAM members on videos just spreading false and misinformation, they are determined to keep you all confused by spreading these lies and made up BS about AMFA. Below I leave you all with just some of the accomplishments AMFA has done and continues to do going forward for their Mechanics Class and Craft Groups. Get it in writing with AMFA, NOT just hear say and words by video which means NOTHING...

The following is the process to determine union representation for employees in the same craft or class under the Railway Labor Act (RLA) when two airlines merge. The process is overseen by the National Mediation Board (NMB), which ensures a single bargaining representative for the combined workforce post-merger. Unions themselves don’t merge like companies; instead, employees vote on representation, and the winning union (if any) integrates the groups. Right: is a step-by-step breakdown, including key NMB decisions.
With the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA), you’re not just a dues-paying Member—you’re the driving force behind every decision, negotiation and policy. AMFA is built on the foundation of inclusion, availability, and accountability—with real democratic power in the hands of the membership who keep aircraft flying: YOU.
This is why Members say that AMFA Delivers.
At AMFA, members shape the future. Every Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), every Letter of Agreement, and every change to local bylaws or our national constitution begins with Member proposals – and ends only when Members vote.
We don’t negotiate behind closed doors. We invite Members to attend negotiations at several airlines because transparency and trust are core to how we operate.
Every Union rep—from your Local to the National Executive Council—is elected directly by the Members and comes from your craft or class. They’ve worked the same line, turned the same wrenches, and face the same challenges you do. You don’t just join AMFA—your decisions help lead it.
AMFA Local representatives are elected every two years from the same ranks you work in. They’re not distant names—they’re professionals on the floor, available, accessible and responsive. Need support? You won’t have to go looking for someone in a suit behind a closed office door. You’ll see your reps often, hear from them regularly, and get answers when you need them. This is representation that shows up—on the line and in the fight.
AMFA delivers results as shown by the many new contracts at the newly represented airlines and carriers that have recently flooded over to AMFA, and that is for good reasons... Good luck to all, and let the countdown begin to a better and more professional Mechanics Class and Craft Union Representation with AMFA!!!
