WASHINGTON, DC (December 8, 2016) — The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) President Sara Nelson released the following statement on today's proposed rulemaking from the Department of Transportation's on Notification of Voice Calls on Aircraft.
"The American public does not want voice communication in flight. Anything short of banning voice calls is reckless. It threatens aviation security and increases the likelihood of conflict in the skies. It threatens safety for crews and passengers. AFA will continue to press for a complete ban of inflight voice calls. No calls on planes. Period."
