I have been a Flight Attendant for American Eagle for over 4 years, and I am based in ORD where I have been since I started working for American Eagle.

Approximately one year after starting work with American Eagle. I became an active Union lobbyist. My first position for the Union was as an information Representative, I then took a course and became a grievance representative. After working as a grievance Representative in ORD I was given the opportunity to become the LEC grievance chair for Chicago. In February of 2005 I was voted in by the MEC as the secretary/ Treasurer for the Master Executive Counsel. At this time I continue to work as the LEC Grievance Chair for ORD and as the MEC Secretary/Treasurer.

Many people ask me why I would add the extra load of work on my shoulders and my response to them is that during a very trying time in my life I turned to the Union for assistance and was immediately helped by many of its members. With that said, I made the decision then and there that I would become active as a union member and help whom ever I can. While there is a lot of extra work, time away from my family, etc. There is no better gratification then knowing I was able to be a part in improving the quality of Flight Attendants lives and being able to assist and help a person when at times they feel there is no one else to turn to.

 If anyone is in need of any assistance you can reach me at 253-576-8172 or email me at dsnazzy@aol.com.
