CWA-AFA · Carrier Financials
Envoy Air
Tracing money from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to the visible Envoy MEC and local layers.
Quick Read
- Visible structure: Envoy is one of the clearer CWA-AFA carriers because the public record shows visible CWA-AFA sector funding to the Envoy MEC and to multiple named Envoy LECs.
- Most recent verified standalone filing signal: Envoy MEC LM-3 (FY ending 05/31/2023) reports 1,672 members, $231,958 in total receipts, and $231,958 in total disbursements.
- Visible direct local share: 44.6% in FY2025, 43.7% in FY2024, and 44.9% in FY2023.
- Bottom line: Envoy provides a much clearer dues-to-local-service throughline than carriers where the public record stops at the sector-to-MEC layer alone.
Filing Map
Envoy 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 Envoy affiliate funding. The standalone Envoy MEC LM-3 adds a carrier-level spending signal, while the elections record shows multiple active local councils.
- 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 LEC Filing Lookback
- Envoy 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 Envoy MEC LM-3.
- Named local councils in the sector filing: LEC 24051 and LEC 26052 are visibly itemized in the sector LM-2.
- Standalone local DOL filing lookback: no verified standalone Envoy LEC filing link is posted here yet for FY ending 05/31/2025, FY ending 05/31/2024, or FY ending 05/31/2023.
Visible CWA-AFA Sector Funding
- FY2025: AFA MEC Envoy Air $274,073; AFA LEC 24051 Envoy Air $81,238; AFA LEC 26052 Envoy Air $139,443.
- FY2024: AFA MEC Envoy Air $219,667; AFA LEC 24051 Envoy Air $71,434; AFA LEC 26052 Envoy Air $99,119.
- FY2023: AFA MEC Envoy Air $230,083; AFA LEC 24051 Envoy Air $75,051; AFA LEC 26052 Envoy Air $112,515.
These are visible CWA-AFA sector allocations to Envoy-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 Envoy-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to named Envoy LECs rather than to the Envoy MEC.
Formula: direct named Envoy LEC funding ÷ total visible Envoy-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.
- FY2025: (81,238 + 139,443) ÷ (274,073 + 81,238 + 139,443) = 44.6%.
- FY2024: (71,434 + 99,119) ÷ (219,667 + 71,434 + 99,119) = 43.7%.
- FY2023: (75,051 + 112,515) ÷ (230,083 + 75,051 + 112,515) = 44.9%.
Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct Envoy-specific CWA-AFA sector funding lines that are publicly visible on the sector LM-2.
Most Recent Verified MEC Filing Signal
The verified FY ending 05/31/2023 Envoy MEC LM-3 reports 1,672 members, $231,958 in total receipts, and $231,958 in total disbursements. It also reports $63,777 in disbursements to officers, $96,475 to employees, $58,908 in office and administrative expense, and $12,530 in professional fees.
That is a strong carrier-level visibility signal and makes Envoy a useful comparator for how far CWA-AFA money flow can be traced in the public record.
Local Representation Visibility
Envoy’s local structure is visible through the CWA-AFA elections site, which lists Council 51 ORD, Council 52 DFW, and Council 59 MIA. That reinforces that the local layer is active even where separate local DOL filings have not yet been independently matched here.

Interpretive Caution
Envoy is one of the better CWA-AFA comparators because the public record shows all three layers more clearly than many carriers: parent CWA, sector allocation, and a standalone carrier MEC filing. Even so, the visible local-dollar measure is still only a floor, because some services may remain embedded in upstream sector support or other non-itemized structures.
