JUN 24 - Summer months, while filled with opportunities for outdoor activities, are also filled with summer thunderstorms that can result in delays, re-routes and other travel irregularities.To protect ourselves during this time, we should all carry our Contract and know our Contractual legalities. This is especially true for Reserve Flight Attendants who are more frequently subject to reassignments when these irregularities occur unexpectedly.
JUN 24 - The goal of every safe operation is for every employee to return home in the same condition as when they arrived at work. Injuries can come from many sources and awareness is a key component in injury prevention.
JUN 24 - The Reserve Preferencing system will assign all open positions that can possibly be assigned to the Reserves who are legal and available, even if it means some preferences cannot be honored in order to do so.
JUN 24 - When irregularities occur and we find ourselves reassigned as a result of irregular operations, there may be circumstances where we may be eligible for the restoration of day(s) off. If you are entitled to have you day(s) off restored, this is accomplished by working with Crew Scheduling.
JUN 24 - We remind everyone of the upcoming Contractual holiday as set forth in Section 2.Q. of our Contract for all U.S. bases and Guam. Flight Attendants receive additional pay for flight assignments flown on designated holidays.
