Uniform Quarterly Meeting Update

Tallee attended the Quarterly Uniform Meeting in SEA and has provided the following update to share with our members.

  • Survey results confirmed the obvious system wide displeasure.  More information available on Alaskasworld.
  • Luly’s new Breast Cancer Neckwear is available to purchase/order now.  If you would like to make a donation to the Pink Lemonade Project, that is available there as well.  The Neckwear is being sold to us at cost, BUT the company will match up to $10,000.00 of our donations.  Those must be ordered by July 5, 2016.  They may open second round of ordering, but this is the only guaranteed time frame.
  • The Company is hopeful that we may see sketches as early as the end of 2nd quarter 2017.  Hope to have the Uniform Ambassadors start wear testing by 4th Quarter.
  • The Uniform Committee Chairs are currently testing a new roller bag (1″ shorter) that is meant to accommodate all bins including the space bins when placed correctly on their sides.
  • Patriotic and Holiday neckwear designs still to come.  No confirmation on the designer.
  • Next round of Focus groups will occur AFTER design briefs are released.

Again, if you have any questions/information you would like to share relating to our uniforms, please reach out to Tallee and the Uniform Committee.

July Pairings Spreadsheet

We have created an excel spreadsheet to review all the pairings that have been created and awarded in the ANC base.  We are excited to share that spreadsheet with all of you.  

Click the following link to view the July Pairings Spreadsheet:    July 16 Bid.xlsx

 The spreadsheet contains:

  • Pairings (Pairing Numbers)
  • Days (Length of Pairing) 
  • C/I (Check In Times)
  • C/O (Check-Out Times)
  • TAFB (Time Away From Base) which is listed as hours and minutes
  • ADC (Average Daily Credit)
  • Pay TFP (Total TFP you will be paid if trip is flown.  Inclusive of MPRs)
  • Sit TFP (Indicates how much tfp of Sit Pay is in the pairing)
  • TAFB/TFP (Time Away From Base per TFP value)
  • Duty Legs
  • D/H (DH legs)
  • L/O (Layover Location)
  • Compensation (inclusive of sit pay and per diem) and you can change the TFP Rate (located in the upper right corner of the spreadsheet) to reflect your step rate amount which will adjust the compensation column to reflect the accurate amount each individual FA will receive at their rate of pay.
  • Days (the days of the month that pairing operates)

We hope you find this information helpful and would appreciate your feedback.  If you find value in the document, we will do our best to provide it for you each month. If you have any questions about the spreadsheet, please contact us at anc@afaalaska.org.

Monthly Safety Meeting

From Ruthann:

Here is a small summary of what was discussed at the AS ANC Monthly
Employee Safety Meeting that takes place the third Wednesday of each
month.  Attendees include representatives from your AFA Air Safety
Health and Security committee, the Ramp, CSAs, Stores, Catering,
Management, etc.  This allows all the work groups to bring forth
agenda items that need to be solved with the help of other work
groups.  Below are some of the items discussed in May that will be on
the agenda for June.  If you have any safety concerns please report
them to Ruthann.Bledsoe@gmail.com or any of the other safety committee
members which include Betsy DeMay, Sarah Roberts, or Debi Wallstrom.

These are ongoing items that are on the agenda for the June 15th meeting.
1. ATB (air turn back) due to 2 juice caps in the R2 door frame on a
ANC-SEA flight.  Catering was advised and signed off for each worker to
check the door frame for internal debris before shutting the door.
2.  CSA reminder that a Cabin Baggage Tag must be attached to each FAA
approved carseat brought onto the aircraft for use in the cabin.
3. CSA reminder that service animals must be on the final flight report to
have the notice appear on the F/A iPhone to avoid flight delays.
4.  Our F/As are having a problem with the combi stairs improperly
positioned by SEA CSAs at the L2 door.  If this occurs please write an
incident report, an  ASAP, and send pictures to
Ruthann.Bledsoe@gmail.com.  ANC CSAs are positioning the L2 combi
stairs correctly.
