AFA and Management Agree on a Remedy for the Delayed May & June 2022 Bid Awards

Master Executive Council (MEC)

  • AFA Alaska leadership and Alaska Airlines management have reached agreement on a remedy for the delayed May & June bid awards.
  • All Flight Attendants who were active at any point during the May or June 2022 bid months will receive 4.0 TFP on their respective July 20th paychecks.
  • Thank you to the more than 4400 who participated in the “It’s Time to Make It Right!” letter writing campaign, and AFA appreciates management’s commitment to doing the right thing in these circumstances.

AFA Alaska leadership and Alaska Airlines management have reached agreement on a remedy for the delayed May & June bid awards:

All Flight Attendants who were active at any point during the May or June 2022 bid months will receive 4.0 TFP on their respective July 20th paychecks. *

* Flight Attendants must not have been on a leave of absence for the entirety of both bid months and newly hired Flight Attendants must have been eligible to bid for either bid period to be eligible for the settlement. The 4.0 TFP will have applicable taxes withheld at the regular withholding rate and less any other deductions/contributions.

Realistically, an arbitrator would not have awarded 4 TFP to all active Flight Attendants as a remedy to these contractual grievances, so we recognize that management ultimately agreed to more than we would have achieved through arbitration. This non-precedential monetary settlement compensates FAs for the inconvenience resulting from the contractual violations and demonstrates management’s willingness to accept responsibility for their actions. AFA appreciates management’s commitment to doing the right thing in these circumstances.

Thank you to the more than 4400 who participated in the “It’s Time to Make It Right!” letter writing campaign: Our collective action was an impressive show of solidarity that was invaluable in achieving this settlement!

  3. Thank you AFA! Question – I understand the 4 tfp will count towards the PPP bonus, but will it be counted towards May or June? Big difference as May is part of the 8 month block and June is a standalone month. Thanks again!

    • You are very welcome, Sheri! We are currently confirming the answer about the PPP with management and will report back.

    • Just wanted to make sure that you saw we received confirmation that the 4 TFP will be credited as “Worked TFP” toward the June 2022 PPP.

  7. This is great news! However, will this apply to future mishaps? We’re any consequences to any future errors discussed?

    • This is a one-time settlement without precedent, so it will not apply to any other similar contractual violations in the future.

    • We have received confirmation that the 4 TFP will be credited as worked TFP toward the June 2022 PPP.

  8. Thank you for your relentless commitment to the Flight Attendants’ best interests. You are deeply appreciated by myself and countless others!
