Q: Can someone explain the “A” position bidding to me? And does that apply to the L-AS FA?
A: L-AS Flight Attendants bid the A position, which is awarded on a “pairing-by-pairing” basis. The ITL to “A” position transition for the L-VX Flight Attendants is described in the L-VX ITL to L-VX A Position roadshow webinar video.

Hi Kimberley
That is correct there is no change to L-AS ‘A’ position bidding.
The language applies to L-VX Flight Attendants only. It is a provision to transition the L-VX ‘ITL’ position to the L-AS ‘A’ position. It will be in effect for L-VX Flight Attendants from the second full bid month following DOR until early February 2019, when all Flight Attendants bid together for Full Integration in March of 2019.

After watching the video I just want to make sure I understand….L-AS ‘A’ position bidding is not changing. But it is changing for L-VX’s. Correct….
Thank you for your time.
