Dear Members,

Postcards From the FAA!

Certificate Updates / Fatigue Study


The FAA’s Civil Aviation Registry is responsible for the database of flight attendant certificates. They are currently updating/verifying their database records for approximately 60,000 randomly selected flight attendants. If you receive a postcard from the FAA - Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, please complete the card and return it immediately. Do not throw it away.

Of the 60,000 flight attendants that receive the postcard the FAA Flight Attendant Certificate Registry will then be used to randomly select 30,000 flight attendants to participate in the upcoming Flight Attendant Fatigue Survey.

AFA-CWA has been very active in the funding and development of the survey to address flight attendant fatigue. This flight attendant fatigue survey is one part of our important ongoing efforts to improve duty and rest provisions for all flight attendants and enhance safety

Even if you have not received the postcard, you can update your information electronically at:

Thank you for your participation in our ongoing effort to fight fatigue and improve aviation safety.Thank You,
