8.24.23 – APFA ORD Base Brief – New APFA Base Contact Number

Thursday, August 24, 2023

Hello Chicago!

Your base leadership hopes your summer is going well! We expect to see as many of you as possible on August 30th, from 10:00-12:00 CT, for our picket! It is a pivotal moment in negotiations! We are in this together!

Join the Picket August 30th!
ORD
10:00am- 12:00pm CT
Departures, between T2 and T3 sidewalk.

We are excited to announce a more efficient way for you to reach out to your base representatives. We are announcing the new APFA ORD Base centralized number:

773-645-0809

What is it?

The ORD Base APFA Number is a secure, confidential line that works just like any other phone number, it allows you to call and text. It is unique because it is accessible by multiple reps.

Advantages:

When one rep is unavailable (vacation, flying a trip, meetings, etc.) the line will remain open. This will avoid the need for you to make multiple calls to multiple reps looking for an answer.

This centralized number will be used as a replacement for our individual numbers. It is a way to contact your base representatives with questions, schedule meetings, or discuss matters important to you.

When leaving voicemails, you can select either Dray, Justin, or the general voicemail. When texting, we will let you know who you are speaking with.

During the transition process, if you contact Dray or Justin on our personal numbers, we may respond via the ORD Base number to help foster its use.

As always, thank you for your support! We are excited to bring a new, streamlined process to our base which saves you the time of reaching out to multiple reps. If you have any questions, please reach out.

We will see you August 30th!
