We are saddened to learn from our union brother, General President Mark McManus, that four members of the United Association have been confirmed among those killed in the American Airlines Flight 5342 crash. Additionally, we have learned that the two flight attendants were Association of Flight Attendants-CWA members, and the plane's two pilots were members of the Air Line Pilots Association.
Our hearts go out to our union family and all families who lost loved ones yesterday evening.
