Air Division
The Air Division represents members at some of the nation’s largest airlines, including American, Southwest, and Envoy, in addition to members at several U.S. military and service bases, including Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, and the NASA Kennedy Space Center.

Our service contract locals are growing rapidly, adding members in dozens of fields on military installations all over the U.S.
