No Involuntary Furloughs!
The fact that not one of our Members will be forced into involuntary furlough is a testament to why we have a Union and a Contract. Everyone in this process played a critical role in our successful outcome. A special thank you to those who were able to avail themselves of the benefits afforded on a Voluntary Furlough and the Partnership Program while saving the job of a more junior Member.
Partnership Waiting List
Not all bids for Partnership were awarded. The Company was not able to award all Partnership bids on file. If you were not awarded a Partnership during this bid there is still a chance for award in the future. The Company will maintain a waiting list of Partnership requests and award additional Partnerships in seniority order based on the seniority of the senior Flight Attendant in the Partnership. Requests may be submitted at any time and will be awarded as the Company determines an additional need. It is also anticipated that the program will be extended beyond the original 6 month period which will provide another opportunity for everyone to bid and receive a Partnership award.
