Uniform Delay Update
Aloha Council 47 SEA Flight Attendants,
We’ve been hearing your concerns loud and clear regarding the recent uniform delivery delays and how this may impact your ability to operate your scheduled 787 flying.
We brought this forward directly to management today and had a conversation to get clarity. While the launch of the updated uniforms is important to the company, it is not their position to discipline Flight Attendants or impact pay due to not having the correct uniform as a result of these delays.
To be clear, Flight Attendants should not be subject to discipline, corrective action, or removal from trips without pay in these situations. The company has indicated a primary focus on ensuring FCO flights are fully uniformed for launch, while understanding that other flying (ICN/HNL) may require flexibility during this transition period.
That said, we do ask that Flight Attendants continue to do their part by working with Affinity Apparel to arrange for their uniform pieces and stay engaged in the process.
We know many of you planned your schedules around the original timelines, and it’s frustrating when things change outside of your control.
If you experience anything that doesn’t align with this, please reach out so we can address it.
Mahalo,
Josh, Paul and Beth
Council 47 Officers LAX/SEA
