On July 23, 2024, TWU Local 556 was made aware that the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) would be performing a Certificate Holder Evaluation Process (CHEP) of Southwest Airlines. The CHEP is an audit which holds an in-depth examination of the Company. This audit is similar to the audits from the past. This audit is industry standard and Southwest has complied with these before. This particular CHEP is focused on Flight Operations given recent safety events. This safety audit will not affect Flight Attendants or the performance of our duties.
