Crew Resources Committee
Call for Commitment to Serve
The Master Executive Council (MEC) has approved the formation of a newly combined MEC Crew Resources Committee, uniting the former MEC Reserve Committee and MEC Scheduling Committee into a single, streamlined body. This intentional realignment reflects the evolving operational environment at Spirit and reinforces the MEC’s commitment to proactive, effective advocacy for Flight Attendants.
As Spirit transitions into a smaller and more condensed operation, this committee will play a critical role in ensuring consistency, efficiency, and informed representation—particularly as many Flight Attendants are once again navigating reserve obligations after years away from reserve and under different contractual language. These changes are being made with the long-term interests of the membership at the forefront, strengthening our ability to respond thoughtfully to current and future challenges.
