Honoring our Fallen Colleagues on the
21st Anniversary of September 11th

Over the last three days, APFA and members of APA, AFA-CWA, ALPA, and other Labor Unions were united to honor colleagues who perished in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five Flight Attendants, eight Pilots, three Customer Service Agents, and active and retired American Airlines and United Airlines employees died that day. These brave employees and retirees were the first responders. They fought to protect our country until the end.
