Crew Signal | Horizon / CWA-AFA

Status Summary

The strongest public bargaining signal this week came from outside the union. In its 2025 Form 10-K, filed February 12, Alaska Air Group said Horizon flight attendants remained amendable from April 30, 2024, that negotiations for an updated agreement were ongoing, and that a National Mediation Board mediator was participating in the talks.

For lineholders, that matters because it is a company-filed confirmation that the case remained active and unresolved in mid-February. The filing did not point to a tentative agreement, ratification calendar, or release from mediation. It simply confirmed that bargaining with CWA-AFA was still open, still amendable, and still under mediated oversight.

Non-union anchor: The clearest public confirmation this week came from Alaska Air Group rather than from union messaging.
Case status: Horizon flight attendants remained amendable and still in active negotiations.
Process read: No tentative agreement or self-help timeline was disclosed in the filing.

CrewSignal Watch Points

Company filings do not usually give operational bargaining detail, but they are valuable for pinning down posture. In this case, the filing matters because it eliminates any ambiguity about whether Horizon / CWA-AFA was still in a live mediated bargaining cycle after the early-February sessions.

The absence of fresh table detail this week means the next meaningful public shift still had to come from one of three places: a bargaining summary, a disclosed comprehensive management package, or a visible change in mediation status.

Mediation track: Company-confirmed as active and unresolved.
Contract track: The public record still lacked a disclosed closing package.
System-wide: The next inflection point remained whether the parties would move from confirmation of talks to confirmation of a workable package.
