(2/6) “Aviation is safe when we fly with the spirit that ‘we’re all in this together.’ Americans have not been safe nor had a safety net to catch us as COVID relief dried up even as the pandemic spiked. For millions of Americans, everything is at stake.

(3/6) We applaud the Senators who recognized this moment and rose above the political clouds to demonstrate we can work together for solutions. This is only the beginning. We have a lot more work to do. But today, it should be clear that we can.

(4/6) We fought hard to extend the Payroll Support Program and get all aviation workers back on payroll and connected to healthcare.The bipartisan COVID emergency relief bill will make it happen.

(5/6) We also fought to win emergency relief for the entire country, from extending unemployment benefits and banning evictions, to aid for our schools & public services & direct payments to families. This bill is a down payment...but far more will be needed in the coming year.

(6/6) AFA Flight Attendants made over 43K calls, sent nearly 100K letters, & held 32 #ReliefNow events in 24 cities driving more than a 1K stories - from nat'l networks to local TV & radio, documentaries, digital and print - on our demands for relief for all working Americans."
