MEC Update May 23, 2013: ‘No Knives’ Stickers On Carts

May 23rd, 2013 by

May 23, 2013     Dear Flight Attendants,     Alaska Airlines management advised AFA that two “No Knives On Planes” stickers were found on the sides of two different inbound beverage carts yesterday. Management reports that the stickers cannot be removed so the affected side panel must be replaced at a cost of $100. Although the Master Executive Council (MEC) appreciates the enthusiasm our members have shown for ensuring that no knives are ever brought back into the cabin, we must insist that the stickers are not affixed to Alaska Airlines property. Thank you very much!     In solidarity,     Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Terry Taylor, Yvette Gesch, Melanie Buker, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn and Sandra Read More >>
