9.10.18 – Update your info, Contract violations

With so many changes coming up in the next few months, please make sure your information is up-to-date on the APFA.org website. Also, make sure you are dues current for the purposes of voting on any issues brought to the membership and in any elections.The implementation of the new attendance policy begins October 1st, the date of FOI integration. We encourage everyone to review their attendance record to determine how many points you may currently have, and determine whether you have any issues that need clearing up. If you need to make an appointment with your supervisor and would like Union representation, contact one of your local base representatives and we can coordinate with you to meet with your Flight Service Manager.

The Company continues to violate our Contract by assigning probationary Flight Attendants to the purser/lead position. If you are on probation. and you have been assigned to the purser/lead position be advised that a qualified purser can and should take the position from you. Please document any contract violations and send this information to Raymond Lewis at [email protected], and Cathy Ryder [email protected].

It has come to our attention that AA has been caught illegally shaving flight time from flight attendant schedules. This has been reported to APFA and the Union. Always verify flight time and confirm the times against your bid sheets. If you discover a discrepancy screenshot it for documentation purposes. This is not happening by accident, until further advised, please print, at the beginning of all of your sequences, your HI3. At the end of your sequences reprint your HI3 and then compare it to the trip value on the bidsheet. The “adjusted’”flying times are always less than originally scheduled. If this happens to you send all documentation to Raymond Lewis at [email protected], and Cathy Ryder [email protected].
