[AS] Trip Trading Contractual Grievances

For release to pre-merger AS council only

AFA is as disappointed as you in our new Jeppesen Crew Access (JCA) system. Between San Diego’s Open Time not opening on time and system slowdowns throughout the day, once again the experience on Open Time day this month was subpar. AFA advocated that management provide a “do over” Open Time day to make up for all the trouble, but management declined due to concerns over operational liability.

AFA is continuing to pressure management on a daily basis to ensure the Company provides us with an operable real-time trip trading system. Although we are seeing improvements to JCA over time, those improvements are too little, too late. The following is a list of JCA-related contractual grievances filed to date with their respective status.

New Grievances

Grievance No.: 36-99-2-27-17-Violation of §12.C.2-3 Open Time Trip Drop. This grievance alleges the Company’s violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement §12.C.2-3 [Exchange of Sequences: Trading Procedures], past practice and all related sections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when it denied Flight Attendants the ability to drop a sequence in Open Time at contractually designated times, e.g. SEA at 2:00pm PT.

Details: The Company agreed it violated this provision of our CBA. The Company is working with the IT Department and Jeppesen to resolve the issue. This is tentatively scheduled for implementation on May 31^st.

Grievance No.: 36-99-2-28-17-Violation of §12.C.1 Real-Time Trading Procedures. This grievance alleges the Company’s violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement §12.C.1 [Exchange of Sequences: Trading Procedures], past practice and all related sections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when it did not provide Flight Attendants a real-time electronic system for processing sequence trades, picks-ups, drops and give-aways because it requires frequent refreshing of one’s internet browser in order to view updated trading data and availability.

Details: The Company agreed it violated this provision of our CBA. The Company’s remedy is that until JCA is modified, there is a manual workaround requiring Flight Attendants to refresh their browser to view an updated screen. AFA very much disagrees with the Company’s remedy and will be disputing it.

Grievance No.: 36-99-2-29-17-Violation §12.C & §30.B.5 Trading and Requalification Training. This grievance alleges the Company’s violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement §12.C [Exchange of Sequences: Trading Procedures] & §30.B.5 [Training: Recurrent Training], past practice and all related sections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when its crew tracking system (Jeppesen Crew Access) did not allow a Flight Attendant to electronically trade trips that were on his/her line in a bid month in which s/he is scheduled for requalification training.

Details: AFA is awaiting the Company’s response.

Grievance No.: 36-99-2-30-17-Violation §12.C.3 SAN Open Time. This grievance alleges the Company’s violation of Collective Bargaining Agreement §12.C.3 [Exchange of Sequences: Trading Procedures], past practice and all related sections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when it did not begin access to Open Time trading in the San Diego Flight Attendant domicile (SAN) at 9:00am PT on May 15, 2017.

Details: AFA is awaiting the Company’s response. (The Company eventually opened SAN OT at 10:00am PT.)
