CWA-AFA · Carrier Financials
PSA Airlines
Tracing money from parent CWA to the CWA-AFA sector to the visible PSA MEC and local layers.
Quick Read
- Visible structure: PSA is one of the clearer CWA-AFA carriers because the public record shows visible CWA-AFA sector funding to the PSA MEC and to three named PSA local bodies.
- Most recent verified standalone filing signal: PSA LEC 23075 LM-3 (FY ending 05/31/2024) reports 582 members, $58,134 in total receipts, and $58,134 in total disbursements.
- Visible direct local share: 42.1% in FY2025, 53.1% in FY2024, and 42.2% in FY2023.
- Bottom line: PSA provides a clear local-dollar throughline because the public record shows visible sector funding to the MEC and to multiple named local bodies, plus a current standalone local filing.
Filing Map
PSA 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 PSA affiliate funding. The standalone PSA local LM-3 adds a current local-layer spending signal.
- 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.

These are visible CWA-AFA sector allocations to PSA-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 PSA-specific CWA-AFA sector funding that went directly to named PSA local bodies rather than to the PSA MEC.
Formula: direct named PSA local funding ÷ total visible PSA-specific CWA-AFA sector funding.
- FY2025: (48,826 + 46,268 + 32,582) ÷ (175,343 + 48,826 + 46,268 + 32,582) = 42.1%.
- FY2024: (32,498 + 71,963 + 22,586) ÷ (112,141 + 32,498 + 71,963 + 22,586) = 53.1%.
- FY2023: (61,641 + 20,238 + 30,712) ÷ (154,109 + 61,641 + 20,238 + 30,712) = 42.2%.
Treat this as a floor, not a complete service measure. It captures only direct PSA-specific CWA-AFA sector funding lines that are publicly visible on the sector LM-2.
Local Representation Visibility
PSA’s local structure is visible through Council 54 DCA, Council 57 DAY/PHL, and Council 75 CLT/DFW on the elections site.

Interpretive Caution
PSA is already in the clearer-throughline group because the public record shows visible sector funding to both the MEC and multiple named local bodies, plus 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.
