CWA-AFA · Carrier Financials
Hawaiian Airlines
Tracing money from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to the visible Hawaiian MEC and local layers.
Quick Read
- Visible structure: Hawaiian is one of the clearer CWA-AFA carriers because the public record shows visible CWA-AFA sector funding to the Hawaiian MEC and to two named Hawaiian local bodies, LEC 29043 and LEC 29047.
- Most recent verified standalone filing signal: Hawaiian LEC 29043 LM-3 (FY ending 05/31/2022) reports 1,661 members, $199,915 in total receipts, and $199,915 in total disbursements.
- Visible direct local share: 76.1% in FY2025, 86.7% in FY2024, and 87.1% in FY2023.
- Bottom line: Hawaiian provides a much clearer local-dollar throughline than carriers where the public record stops at the MEC layer.
Filing Map
Hawaiian 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 Hawaiian affiliate funding. A standalone Hawaiian local filing adds a strong local-layer spending signal, and the elections record shows active council structure.
- 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
- Hawaiian 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.
- Hawaiian local filing: LEC 29043 Hawaiian Airlines LM-3 (FY ending 05/31/2022) is the most recent verified standalone filing posted here.
- What the verified local filing shows: Local Executive Council 29043, unit name Hawaiian Airlines, 1,661 members, $199,915 in total receipts, $199,915 in total disbursements, $67,761 to officers, $85,827 to employees, $42,856 in office and administrative expense, and $425 in professional fees.
Visible CWA-AFA Sector Funding
- FY2025: AFA MEC Hawaiian Airlines $54,355; AFA LEC 29043 Hawaiian Airlines $145,341; AFA LEC 29047 Hawaiian Airlines $27,782.
- FY2024: AFA MEC Hawaiian Airlines $27,689; AFA LEC 29043 Hawaiian Airlines $147,457; AFA LEC 29047 Hawaiian Airlines $32,906.
- FY2023: AFA MEC Hawaiian Airlines $33,362; AFA LEC 29043 Hawaiian Airlines $196,249; AFA LEC 29047 Hawaiian Airlines $29,524.
These are visible CWA-AFA sector allocations to Hawaiian-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 Hawaiian-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to named Hawaiian local bodies rather than to the Hawaiian MEC.
Formula: direct named Hawaiian local funding ÷ total visible Hawaiian-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.
- FY2025: (145,341 + 27,782) ÷ (54,355 + 145,341 + 27,782) = 76.1%.
- FY2024: (147,457 + 32,906) ÷ (27,689 + 147,457 + 32,906) = 86.7%.
- FY2023: (196,249 + 29,524) ÷ (33,362 + 196,249 + 29,524) = 87.1%.
Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct Hawaiian-specific CWA-AFA sector funding lines that are publicly visible on the sector LM-2.
Most Recent Verified Local Filing Signal
The verified FY ending 05/31/2022 Hawaiian LEC 29043 LM-3 reports 1,661 members and $199,915 in total receipts and disbursements. That is a strong local-layer spending signal and one of the better local filing records among the carriers reviewed so far.
Local Representation Visibility
Hawaiian’s local structure is visible through the elections site, including Council 43 HNL and Council 47 LAX. Those pages show active election schedules and recent officer results.

Interpretive Caution
Hawaiian is one of the stronger CWA-AFA comparators because the public record shows a visible MEC layer, multiple named local funding lines, and a verified standalone local filing. Even so, the visible local-dollar share remains only a floor, because some services may still be embedded in upstream sector support or other non-itemized structures.
