Eastern Airlines · CWA-AFA Carrier Financial Report

Quick Read

Visible structure: the clearest public Eastern money trail currently runs from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to AFA MEC Eastern Airlines.
Most recent verified standalone filing signal: no verified standalone Eastern MEC or Eastern local DOL filing link is posted here yet.
Visible direct local share: 0% for FY2025 and 0% for FY2024 based on the reviewed sector lines, because no named Eastern local line is visibly itemized in those sector filings.
Bottom line: Eastern currently looks like a sector-to-MEC throughline with visible local representation structure, but without a separately verified local-dollar trail on the DOL filing record reviewed here.

Filing Map

Eastern has to be read in layers. Parent CWA is the upstream dues layer. The CWA-AFA sector LM-2 is the clearest public source for visible Eastern affiliate funding. At the local layer, there is visible Council 36 election activity, but this page does not yet claim a separately verified standalone Eastern local DOL filing until one is independently matched.

Parent CWA filings: FY ending 05/31/2025; FY ending 05/31/2024; FY ending 05/31/2023.
CWA-AFA sector filings: FY ending 05/31/2025; FY ending 05/31/2024; FY ending 05/31/2023.

Standalone MEC and Local Filing Lookback

Eastern MEC: FY ending 05/31/2025: no verified standalone DOL filing link is posted here yet; FY ending 05/31/2024: no verified standalone DOL filing link is posted here yet; FY ending 05/31/2023: no verified standalone DOL filing link is posted here yet.
Eastern local body: no verified standalone Eastern local DOL filing link is posted here yet for FY ending 05/31/2025, FY ending 05/31/2024, or FY ending 05/31/2023.
Read this carefully: the absence of a verified standalone DOL match on this page is not the same thing as proving no filing exists. It means a standalone Eastern MEC or local filing has not yet been independently matched and verified here.

Visible CWA-AFA Sector Funding

FY2025: AFA MEC Eastern Airlines $23,697.
FY2024: AFA MEC Eastern Airlines $22,029.
FY2023: no Eastern-specific sector line is independently verified here yet.

The filing trail reviewed so far makes Eastern clearest at the sector-to-MEC layer. It does not yet provide a separately verified local funding line.

What the Visible Direct Local Share Means

This metric measures the percentage of visible Eastern-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to a named Eastern local body rather than to the Eastern MEC.

Formula: direct named Eastern local funding ÷ total visible Eastern-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.

FY2025: 0 ÷ 23,697 = 0%.
FY2024: 0 ÷ 22,029 = 0%.
FY2023: not calculated here because no Eastern-specific sector line is independently verified.

Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct Eastern-specific CWA-AFA sector funding lines that are publicly visible on the reviewed sector filing text.

Representation and Upstream Support Visibility

Eastern does have a visible local structure. The Council 36 elections page shows a 2025 election notice for LEC President, LEC Vice President, and LEC Secretary.

Eastern also shows an upstream staff-support signal in the FY2025 CWA-AFA sector LM-2. Schedule 12 lists Guy Bosworth, Lead Trg/Education Coord, with Other Payer shown as AFA MEC Eastern Airlines and total compensation/disbursements of $143,612.

Interpretive Caution

Eastern is useful because the public record already shows visible carrier-level CWA-AFA sector funding and visible local election structure. But until a standalone Eastern MEC or local DOL filing is independently verified, the public money trail remains stronger at the sector-to-MEC layer than at the local-dollar layer.
