CWA-AFA · Carrier Financials
Horizon Air
Tracing money from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to the visible Horizon MEC and local layers.
Quick Read
- Visible structure: Horizon is a clearer CWA-AFA carrier because the public record shows visible CWA-AFA sector funding to the Horizon MEC and to two named Horizon local councils.
- Most recent verified standalone filing signal: Horizon MEC LM-3 (FY ending 05/31/2024) reports 415 members, $106,502 in total receipts, and $106,502 in total disbursements.
- Visible direct local share: 31.9% in FY2025, 36.9% in FY2024, and 29.8% in FY2023.
- Bottom line: Horizon provides a visible local-dollar throughline, but it remains more MEC-heavy than carriers where the local share approaches or exceeds half of visible sector funding.
Filing Map
Horizon 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 Horizon affiliate funding. The standalone Horizon MEC LM-3 adds a current carrier-level spending signal, while the elections record shows 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
- Horizon MEC: FY ending 05/31/2025: no verified standalone DOL filing link is posted here yet; FY ending 05/31/2024 Horizon MEC LM-3; FY ending 05/31/2023: no verified standalone DOL filing link is posted here yet.
- Named local councils in the sector filing: LEC 27016 and LEC 27017 are visibly itemized in the CWA-AFA sector LM-2.
- Standalone local DOL filing lookback: no verified standalone Horizon 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 Horizon Air $117,400; AFA LEC 27016 Horizon Air $31,405; AFA LEC 27017 Horizon Air $23,651.
- FY2024: AFA MEC Horizon Air $106,502; AFA LEC 27016 Horizon Air $37,472; AFA LEC 27017 Horizon Air $24,876.
- FY2023: AFA MEC Horizon Air $164,920; AFA LEC 27016 Horizon Air $39,602; AFA LEC 27017 Horizon Air $30,537.
These are visible CWA-AFA sector allocations to Horizon-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 Horizon-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to named Horizon local councils rather than to the Horizon MEC.
Formula: direct named Horizon local funding ÷ total visible Horizon-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.
- FY2025: (31,405 + 23,651) ÷ (117,400 + 31,405 + 23,651) = 31.9%.
- FY2024: (37,472 + 24,876) ÷ (106,502 + 37,472 + 24,876) = 36.9%.
- FY2023: (39,602 + 30,537) ÷ (164,920 + 39,602 + 30,537) = 29.8%.
Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct Horizon-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 05/31/2024 Horizon MEC LM-3 reports 415 members, $106,502 in total receipts, and $106,502 in total disbursements. It also reports $59,437 in disbursements to officers, $36,816 to employees, $9,619 in office and administrative expense, and $630 in professional fees.
That gives Horizon a strong current carrier-level filing signal compared with many other carriers.
Local Representation Visibility
Horizon’s local structure is visible through Council 16 SEA and Council 17 PDX on the elections site, which show current election scheduling and recent officer results.

Interpretive Caution
Horizon has a visible local-dollar throughline, but the local share is still materially smaller than carriers where a much larger portion of visible sector funding goes directly to local bodies. That makes Horizon a useful mid-range comparator for this project.
