Linda Farrow, MEC Vice-President

Linda F. Farrow, has been a Flight Attendant and AFA Member since 1968. She is a long-time Union leader from Los Angeles, has extensive experience in negotiations and is serving as MEC Vice President of the Union for the second time in her career. She currently holds a position on the System Board of Adjustment, a panel with representatives from the Union and the Company along with a neutral arbitrator who hears Contract and Disciplinary disputes.

Ms. Farrow also previously served as the Union's Master Executive Council President during September 11, 2001 and provided steady leadership through some of the most challenging times encountered by the Members of the Association of Flight Attendants. She was one of the first to volunteer for time off without pay in October of 2001 in order to save a job of the most junior Flight Attendants and she led the charge to return probationary Flight Attendants to work and the Flight Attendant seniority list after United management had dismissed those Flight Attendants and cut off their employment.

Ms. Farrow led her Los Angeles local during the 1985 strike by United pilots, when the United Flight Attendants struck for 29 days in support of the pilots' contract dispute. Ms. Farrow was also Master Executive Council President at the time of the announced merger between United and US Airways, leading the Union in threatening a CHAOS™ strike by United Flight Attendants if United management carried out plans to unilaterally change their collective bargaining agreement in order to effectuate the merger.

That merger was soon called off due, in large part, to opposition from the Flight Attendants and other employees.
