In September 2009, a large group of Frontier flight attendants filed enough signatures necessary for the NMB to call for AFA-CWA representation election.  After the NMB declared that Frontier was not part of a single transportation system with Republic, Shuttle America, Chautauqua, and Midwest, an election was scheduled. Frontier Airlines is the third flight attendant group to elect AFA-CWA as their bargaining representative in the past year.

"We welcome our new sisters and brothers at Frontier to the world's largest flight attendant union. Frontier flight attendants have a unique and proud history and with AFA-CWA representation, they will now begin to shape their future through a legally binding contract," said AFA-CWA International President Patricia Friend. There are approximately 945 Frontier flight attendants based in Denver, CO and Milwaukee, WI.

For over 60 years, the Association of Flight Attendants has been serving as the voice for flight attendants in the workplace, in the aviation industry, in the media and on Capitol Hill.  More than 50,000 flight attendants at 22 airlines come together to form AFA-CWA, the world's largest flight attendant union. AFA is part of the 700,000-member strong Communications Workers of America (CWA), AFL-CIO.
