Since 1995

Barbara DunnBarbara Dunn, retired Air Canada flight attendant, is the newly elected International President for the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI). She is the first female and the first Flight Attendant to be elected to ISASI’s Executive Council.

Barbara joined AC in 1971 and quickly became interested in flight attendant and passenger safety issues. She took on the role of National Safety Chair for the Canadian Airline Flight Attendant Association (CALFAA) and represented the union for 15 years at accident investigation hearings, joint safety meetings with the company and as a speaker at international cabin safety conferences.

After her retirement in 2003, she continued her work to ensure that cabin crew are considered as part of the safety team on the aircraft. She joined ISASI in 1990 and became the President of the Canadian branch of ISASI in 1994, a position she held until stepping down in 2021.
