Tracing money from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to the Alaska Airlines MEC and LECs.

Quick Read

Filing Map

Alaska has to be read in layers. Parent CWA is the upstream filing layer. The CWA-AFA sector LM-2 is the clearest public source for direct Alaska affiliate funding. At the carrier and local layers, the public record currently shows visible Alaska MEC and LEC funding on the sector LM-2, but this page stays conservative unless and until separate Alaska MEC or Alaska LEC filings are independently verified.

Standalone MEC and LEC Filing Lookback

Visible CWA-AFA Sector Funding

These are visible CWA-AFA sector allocations to Alaska-identified affiliates. They are not, by themselves, a complete measure of all bargaining, legal, administrative, or parent-supported service delivered to the property.

What the Visible Direct Local Share Means

This metric measures the percentage of visible Alaska-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to named Alaska LECs rather than to the Alaska MEC.

Formula: direct named LEC funding ÷ total visible Alaska-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.

Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct Alaska-specific CWA-AFA sector funding lines that are publicly visible on the sector LM-2. It does not capture all upstream support, bargaining support, staff-negotiator time, legal work, release-time value, or overhead that may still benefit Alaska members.

Negotiations and Compensation Visibility

Alaska bargaining support is publicly visible in two different ways: on Alaska’s bargaining pages and on the CWA-AFA sector LM-2. Alaska’s 2022 bargaining page identified the full committee as MEC President Jeffrey Peterson, Sandra Morrow, James Bozanich, Kiara Jenkins, and AFA Senior Staff Negotiator Paula Mastrangelo. A companion Alaska page identified Paula Mastrangelo as the AFA Senior Staff Negotiator assigned to Alaska.

On the financial side, the FY ending 05/31/2025 CWA-AFA sector LM-2 reports Paula Mastrangelo as AFA Senior Staff Negotiator with Other Payer listed as AFA MEC Alaska Airlines and total compensation/disbursements of $155,441. The FY ending 05/31/2024 sector LM-2 reports Kimberley Chaput as AFA Senior Staff Attorney with Other Payer listed as AFA MEC Alaska Air/Horizon Air and total compensation/disbursements of $148,762.

That means part of Alaska’s bargaining and legal support is visible upstream at the CWA-AFA sector staff layer rather than inside a separately verified Alaska-only LM filing.

Interpretive Caution

Alaska already shows why larger carriers are harder to trace than Air Wisconsin. The sector LM-2 clearly shows a substantial Alaska MEC line and multiple Alaska LEC lines, but without separately verified Alaska MEC and Alaska LEC filings, the public record does not yet let readers cleanly allocate Alaska spending into carrier-only categories like officer pay, employee pay, office and administrative expense, professional fees, and other disbursements.

That does not mean the support is absent. It means the support is publicly clearest at the sector-allocation layer and at the sector staff-compensation layer, while some downstream Alaska-specific spending detail remains to be separately verified.
