APFA National Ballot Committee Special Election Update
January 14, 2015
ATTN: Transfer/Proffer Holders Effective December 2014
In accordance with the APFA Policy Manual, on December 30, 2014, the National Ballot Committee (NBC) mailed ballots to members according to base assignment information APFA had at that time. The new monthly information we received from the Company shows that a number of transfers and proffers occurred in December 2014. As a result, if you transferred/proffered in December, the ballot you received was for your former base, not your new base. If you held a transfer/proffer effective December 2014, and you voted before 11:00 a.m. CT on January 8, 2015, your vote has been voided and you should now revote in the election at your new base.

This will potentially affect 172 Flight Attendants.
ATTN: JFK to LGA Fall-Offs (Affecting 10 FAs)
All votes cast by JFK members who were awarded a Fall-Off to LGA, have been voided due to the incorrect information APFA received from the Company. Flight Attendants awarded a “Fall-Off” for January 2015 from JFK to LGA who have already voted, should now revote for your JFK Base Representatives.
This will potentially affect 10 Flight Attendants.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but it is very important that every Flight Attendant has their voice heard with a vote.
To all Flight Attendants: Please cast your ballot for your Base Representatives. Votes must be cast by January 29, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.

If you did not receive a ballot, need an activation code or require any assistance, please contact the NBC at [email protected] or 817-540-0108 x8311.
