Southwest Is Adding Nonstop Flights to This Stunning Caribbean Island
Southwest’s new service to Sint Maarten begins in April 2026, bringing easy access to beaches, diving, and low-flying planes.
These numbers will grow once the final ruling comes in from the Alaska/Hawaiian merger/purchase after the two groups of mechanics and related are done and certified.So from what I can gather searching through webpages you’ve grown by around 500 in the last 5 years? 2700 to 3200.
I’d call that respectable growth considering the size of your group.
DOL LM2 Search is down and who knows if it will come back so I had to rely on other methods for information.

I’m not involved or really interested in disputes between AMFA and the IAM. That’s between those two.
I will say I’m not a fan of the IAM’s 141 unit as far as organizing.
A few years back they had a forceful push (harassing) to organize the JetBlue Ramp. Their push (harassing) got them the cards they needed to have an election. 🗳️ They wound up getting absolutely slaughtered in that vote and couldn’t try again for another year and a half. In other words though that group seriously rejected 🙅♂️ IAM representation.
BUT the IAM held on to their exclusivity to try which is a honor agreement through the AFL/CIO where no one else who’s a member is supposed to try to gain representation if a Union doesn’t want to back off.
The IAM DID NOT and WON’T go away. The TWU already represents the Flight Attendants at JetBlue and I’ve personally heard from Rampers in FLL that they want TWU and wish the IAM would go away.
They put organizers back in front of the Airport almost immediately after the year and a half restriction and no one talked to them. It was ridiculous to see.
IAM 142 (Not 141) is who AMFA is in dispute with at Alaska and Hawaii though.
I’m TWU.
