National President Update

As we cross the midpoint of 2025, AMFA stands united—stronger than ever, backed by a record of achievement that reflects the power of our collective voice. Together, we’ve advanced contracts, pushed wage scales higher, and protected the core of our craft. Across North America, from the U.S. to Canada, we are proving what unity can accomplish: securing industry-leading pay, defending our work scope, and ensuring quality-of-life provisions that match the value we bring to aviation every day. This year, our negotiations have driven tangible wins—pushing carriers to compete for top-tier talent and raising the bar for compensation and respect across the board. These gains are not isolated victories; they’re part of a broader strategy to lift the entire profession and force the industry to follow the standards we set.

Local President Update: 3rd Quarter

October 30, 2025 Local President Update: 3rd Quarter As we head into the last part of the year, I want to take a moment to share an update on what’s been going on in our Local and within AMFA. This is always one of the busiest times of the year as we wrap things up and prepare for the new year. From the last quarter, we did not have any Local airline arbitration fundings or any pro rata fundings for review. We have continued to see a steady flow of retirements, about one or two each month. While that may not sound like much, it’s something we’re keeping a close eye on because it will start to affect staffing levels and overall operations. Officer nominations recently closed for the positions of President, Secretary, and Safety Chair. The Secretary position was filled unopposed and elections will be held for the other two positions. I want to thank everyone who participated in the nominations and stepped up to run.

In March 2022, Local 4 partnered with Stars & Stripes, a Union print shop, to launch the AMFA Local 4 - Online Store for our members. The Online Store offers North American-made products through their secure ordering platform, ensuring safe payment processing, and direct shipment of merchandise to you.

The goal is to prioritize USA or North American, Union-made products whenever possible, while utilizing Union labor for all customizations. Purchases from our Online Store support local jobs, families, and the economy, promoting a stronger future while advocating for Union workers and equal benefits for American workers.

The AMFA Local 4 - Online Store will remain open as long as members support it, maintaining merchandise availability based on membership interest.

AMFA Local 4 does not manage or operate the online web-store. Our Union remains a non-profit organization, meaning no profits will be gained from Online Store sales.

By visiting the Stars & Stripes web-store and using their service, you agree to their service agreement, privacy policy, and terms. Please note that all purchases are made to order and require a processing time of 3-4 weeks from the order date at the print shop. Some orders may experience extended processing due to inventory/stocking issues.

If you have any questions regarding the status of your order, please reach out to Stars & Stripes first.
