In Honor and Remembrance of September 11th

Our profession as aviation's first responders and last line of defense is not a title that is merely given. Flight Attendants around the world have earned this honor through their sacrifices to our profession and our singular mission to keep the traveling public safe.

While in the history of aviation, there have been countless acts of heroism, there is no greater sacrifice than the women, men, and children lost to us on September 11, 2001.

Today marks a significant passage of time. Twenty-four years have passed, and the memory of that day is still as clear as ever. The horror and heartbreak that we as a Nation experienced that day will never be forgotten. It is a scar we carry that will never fully heal.

Our career is one of privilege. We are offered a rare opportunity to connect with people throughout the world and play a part in witnessing and sharing the beauty of humanity through the best and worst of times. 

The heinous acts of terrorism that took our sisters and brothers away from us were meant to break our spirit and our nation. As we did on September 11th, 2001, we stand steadfast and mourn their loss. We honor our commitment to Never Forget as we forge forward, carrying each one of them with us. Our mission is to continue shining a light even in the darkest of times and to snub out the ignorance and hate that divides us. In the darkness, we will be the light. 

Today and every day, we honor the courage and conviction of the heroes of September 11^th.

Please join us for a moment of silence and quiet reflection at 8:46 AM Eastern Time.
