Representing the Flight Attendants of Alaska + Hawaiian
Q. When does incentive override phase out and when does AS PPP start for L-VX FAs?
A. The incentive pay will phase out for the L-VX Flight Attendants at Full Integration – when both groups of Flight Attendants fly together after being awarded schedules following a combined PBS bid. The company is targeting the March 2019 bid month for this milestone. At that point, the L-VX Flight Attendants will transition to the AS Productivity Premium Program.
Q. VX retro pay – will this include my ITL override and my incentive pay?
A. Yes. The pay increases retroactive to January 1, 2018, will be applied to all incentive and premium pays.
Q. What does legacy mean?
A. Legacy refers to the “pre-merger” partition of either Virgin America (VX) or Alaska Airlines (AS). The terms we use are Legacy-VX (L-VX) and Legacy-AS (L-AS). This denotes the partition that a Flight Attendant was initially hired into, no matter when.
It is somewhat confusing, because we are all Alaska Airlines Flight attendants now that the FAA has granted the Single Operating Certificate (SOC). However, the Flight Attendant groups are kept separate for pay and work rules and flying. Management continues to hire on “both sides of the partition” and uses the term “Alaska Airbus Flight Attendant” to refer to L-VX Flight Attendants and “Alaska Boeing Flight Attendant” to indicate a L-AS Flight Attendant.
