In the Face of Tragedy, MCAA Stands Together

January 31, 2025

MCAA is deeply heartbroken by the tragic crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 on January 29. MCAA stands ready to support our members in need during this difficult time. We stand with the families of the four UA Local 602 members and one UA Local 5 member who were passengers on the flight. They and all the passengers will remain forever in our hearts—may they rest in peace.

The UA General Office is coordinating relief efforts for the families. Online donations may be made to the UA Charitable Fund Trust. Checks payable to the UA Charitable Fund Trust may be sent to:

United Association
Attn: GST Derrick Kualapai
3 Park Place
Annapolis, MD 21401

Please note in the check memo that you would like to earmark these funds for the families of the victims of the AA5342 disaster. 

Questions about the UA Charitable Fund Trust should be directed to the UA General Office.
