The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association is a craft-oriented, independent aviation union. It is not an industrial union and represents only aircraft maintenance technicians/engineers (AMT/AME) and related skilled trade groups actively involved in the aviation industry. These employees work directly on aircraft and/or components, support equipment, and facilities in accordance with the National Mediation Board (NMB) or Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) rules. AMFA is committed to achieving progressive improvements in wages, benefits, and working conditions and elevating the standing of the skilled professionals it represents.
If you wish for AMFA to request the National Mediation Board to conduct an investigation and a representation election at your carrier, please submit anAuthorization for Representation Card.
Associate Membership is also available to personnel not employed by an AMFA-represented carrier who are actively involved in the aviation industry. Join as an Associate Member today!
AMFA’s mission is to increase recognition of the aircraft mechanic and related class and craft and promote and protect our interests. One of the integral ways we accomplish this goal is to represent the craft before the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and the Administration through precise, targeted, and proven methods.
AMFA was certified at Sun Country Airlines (SCA) on June 9, 2022, and the Association currently represents approximately 170 aircraft mechanic and related employees who maintain the Company's passenger and freighter aircraft.
