On November 6, 2019, the company awarded 471 Flight Attendant transfers to BOS, DEN, EWR, GUM, IAH, LAX, MCO, SAN and SFO.  Flight Attendants are reminded, under the provisions of Section 17 of our JCBA, once awarded a transfer you must either accept or decline such transfer within seven (7) days of the award date.  Keep in mind, a non-response (failure to respond) is considered to be the same as declining the transfer.

When a Flight Attendant declines an awarded transfer, she/he will be inhibited from further transfer for a period of three (3) months. There are incidents where Flight Attendants not intending to transfer, are placing a transfer request on file out of curiosity to see where they fall on the list and subsequently forgetting to withdraw the transfer request. A consequence of this is being awarded a transfer, declining it and being restricted from transfer for a period of three months.

If a Flight Attendant accepts a transfer award, she/he will be restricted from transferring for a period of six (6) months.
