Why SWAFAA Was Created

SWAFAA — the Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant Association — was formed because the current system no longer works for us.

Over time, too many Flight Attendants have experienced:

* A lack of transparency and accountability from union leadership

* Decisions made without member input

* Financial mismanagement and broken trust

* Retaliation or silence when speaking up

* A growing disconnect between representatives and the represented

These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re patterns.

And when leadership no longer reflects the will of the people it claims to represent — it’s time for change.

SWAFAA was created to build something better.

What We’re Building

SWAFAA is a bold, member-led initiative to create a new independent union — one built from the ground up with:

* Real term limits

* Full financial transparency

* Direct member control over leadership and priorities

* Safeguards against corruption

* A clear Constitution and Bylaws designed to serve Flight Attendants — not power structures

This isn’t just about reacting to what’s broken.

It’s about building a system that works — fairly, lawfully, and transparently.

What This Is Not

This is not an election campaign.

This is not a protest.

This is not backed by corporate donors or political machines.

What We Are

SWAFAA is a grassroots movement created by and for working Flight Attendants — and it belongs to all of us.

We are not yet a certified union, but we are laying the legal, financial, and strategic foundation to become one — and to give Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants a voice that cannot be ignored.

How You Can Help

This is where real change begins — not from the top down, but from the inside out.

Whether you can donate, share, or simply spread the word:

Your support helps build something real. Something permanent. Something better.

We are done waiting.

We’re building the future of Flight Attendant representation — and you’re invited.
