Washington, DC – A majority of Lynx Aviation flight attendants voted today to have the Association of
Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) serve as their bargaining representative. The vote, counted by the
National Mediation Board (NMB), showed 55 of the 87 eligible Lynx flight attendants electing AFACWA.
Due to the high participation rate, the vote exceeded the NMB’s archaic rule that over half of the
work group must participate in order for the election to be valid.
“We are excited to welcome our Lynx sisters and brothers to the AFA-CWA family,” said Patricia
Friend, AFA-CWA International President. “Today, Lynx flight attendants stood together and made
their voices heard despite outdated NMB rules and management’s anti-union tactics. We applaud
their determination to shape the future of their careers by joining AFA-CWA.”
AFA-CWA filed a petition for election with the NMB after a strong majority of Lynx’s flight
attendants signed representational cards earlier this year. Lynx Aviation is a regional carrier for
Frontier Airlines and often has the moniker of Frontier Express.
Last week, AFA-CWA was also elected the bargaining representative for the over 150 flight
attendants at Ryan International.
