Flight crews from all over the country take off, land, and layover at airports every day. As safety professionals, we understand the responsibility that we share in slowing the spread of the virus.

As a Flight Attendant, I have served on the pandemic's frontlines, coming in contact with hundreds of people on an average workday. Some of my colleagues have contracted COVID-19, and we have had a few tragic losses among our ranks. We worry that every time we step on an airplane, we are putting ourselves, our families, and the flying public at risk.

Flight Attendants cannot isolate at home, but we do our best to maintain distance between ourselves, our coworkers, and our passengers. Too often we encounter non-compliant passengers who refuse to wear masks, and we handle passenger discards such as used cups and napkins. We are aviation's first responders - we manage medical emergencies without the advantage of proper PPE, all in a work environment that does not afford us the ability to consistently practice safe social distancing.

We need your help to ensure that Flight Attendants are included in the Tier 1B vaccine priority of distribution, as recommended by experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In other states, Flight Attendants have been rightly classified as first responders. We accept the risks involved in our high-contact profession, but we ask for recognition for these risks we are taking to keep our critical infrastructure moving.

Our economy depends on aviation, and the aviation industry depends on people feeling safe onboard our planes right now. Please ensure Flight Attendants stay in line for this critical vaccination.
