To all of the St. Louis-based Southwest diehards, sure, you might have to pay for a checked bag and a seat assignment on American but, hey, you’ll actually see the inside of an airplane. 😉

Be nice to airline employees. They're having just as bad of a day as you are.

The unacceptable chaos at @southwestair is a reflection of SWA leadership. Bosses repeatedly fail to listen to TWU concerns, leaving our members w/out fair contracts & now they are stranding 1000s of passengers during the busy holiday season. Blame the bosses, not the workers.

Going thru schedules for October. AA has some good sales going on $49 to LAX and Miami $79 to DCA/ORD/Charlotte $89 to Austin

The TWU honors the sacrifices made by Cabin Crews, Passengers, First Responders & all the innocent victims who perished 20 years ago today. We also honor those who continue to suffer & succumb to ground zero-related illnesses, as a result of their heroism. We will never forget

American Airlines added 2 mainlines on @flystl to LGA starting November 2nd. It’s been awhile since we have had mainlines on that route for AA. This is the same day the AA 2x a day flights to Boston start.

The TWU congratulates @lizshuler on her historic election as the first woman to become President of the AFL-CIO. For years, Liz has shown an incredible commitment to fighting on behalf of workers and to transforming the trade union movement so that it doesn’t leave anyone behind.

I am humbled, honored and ready to guide this federation forward. I believe in my bones the labor movement is the single greatest organized force for progress.

$1M fines for passengers who assault workers onboard aircraft is a sad milestone. The airlines @FAAnews @USDOT must continue to do more to protect flight attendants, gate agents, and passengers from abuse in our airspace. #EnoughIsEnough faa.gov/news/press_rel…

Short staffing at airlines has forced TWU members to work longer hours, into days off & in grueling summer weather. Passengers have faced delays, cancellations & flight disruptions, all while airlines have hired only 48 workers (net) across the industry in June #EnoughIsEnough

US #airlines June #employment (pssgr+cargo) (709,678) up by only 48 workers from May, still down 39,349 from pre- #pandemic March 2020 (749,027). From #COVID19 onset thru June 2021, Delta down 21,647 employees; United down 22,467; American down 10,368. bit.ly/3AnFGOE

The labor movement, the AFL-CIO and the nation lost a legend today. Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the United Mine Workers of America to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America’s labor movement.

The bipartisan infrastructure deal would be the largest federal investment ever in public transit and the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of @Amtrak Transit and rail workers are finally getting the investments they need to #buildbackbetter.
