Breast Cancer Awareness Month | Pins & Resources

Aloha Council 47,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, honor those who have battled breast cancer, celebrate survivors, and remember those we have lost.

Breast cancer affects millions of individuals and families, including members of our own Flight Attendant community. This month serves as an important reminder of the importance of early detection, regular screenings, and supporting one another through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

🎀 Pink Ribbon Pins Available in LAX & SEA

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Council 47 will be making pink ribbon awareness pins available to members in both LAX and SEA.

We encourage members to pick up a pin and wear it throughout October to show support for those affected by breast cancer.

Where to Find Your Pin:

• LAX: Pins will be available in Josh’s mail file in the baggage room.
• SEA: Pins will be available at the AFA Resource Corner, located in the black drawers by the TV in the SEA Village.

Please note that supplies are limited. We will do our best to replenish the pins should we run out, depending on available resources.

Breast Cancer Awareness & Early Detection

Early detection can make a significant difference in breast cancer outcomes. We encourage everyone to take a moment to learn about breast cancer, understand their personal risk factors, and speak with their healthcare provider about appropriate screenings.

Breast cancer can affect anyone, regardless of gender. Knowing what is normal for your body and discussing any unusual changes with a healthcare professional are important steps toward protecting your health.

Supporting One Another

As Flight Attendants, we spend much of our time caring for others. It is equally important that we take time to care for ourselves and those around us.

For members who may be navigating a diagnosis, undergoing treatment, or supporting a loved one, please know that you are not alone. Our AFA Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is also available to provide confidential support and help connect members with additional resources.

Whether you wear a pink ribbon, encourage a loved one to schedule a screening, or simply check in on someone going through a difficult time, every gesture of support matters.

Mahalo for helping us recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and for continuing to look out for one another.

Aloha Council 47,

Mahalo to everyone who attended our recent New Hire Reserve Webinar! We enjoyed the opportunity to connect with you and walk through important contractual provisions, reserve terminology, and the procedures Crew Scheduling uses when assigning flying.

In Solidarity,

LAX and SEA Base Updates

LAX: We provided an update on the Company’s trial of increased Open Time flexibility in October, intended to provide Flight Attendants with additional opportunities to trade and adjust their schedules. Updates were also shared regarding the California clock-in process and LAX airport transportation developments.

SEA: Members received reminders about the November 1 blazer requirement, airport transportation considerations during overnight train maintenance, and the importance of reviewing the SEA Letter of Agreement alongside the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Part 1: Reserve Basics

The first portion of our webinar focused on the fundamental rules and contractual protections governing reserve duty.

Topics included:

• Reserve Reporting: Reporting requirements for LAX and SEA reserves, including the three-hour reporting provision.
• Reserve Availability Periods (RAPs): How RAPs are established, their duration, and when reserves must remain available.
• 24-in-7 Rest: Federal rest requirements providing 24 consecutive hours free from duty within a rolling seven-day period.
• 1-in-7 Protection: Contractual requirements governing calendar days off.
• Additional Days Off (ADOs) and Guaranteed Days Off (GDOs): The differences between ADOs and GDOs, including red-circle days and the contractual protections surrounding each.

Part 2: Reserve Definitions

The second portion focused on understanding the terminology used throughout the reserve scheduling and assignment process.

Topics included:

• Reserve Self-Assignment (RSA): The process allowing reserves to select available flying.
• Call Me First / Call Me Last: How reserve preferences influence assignment priority.
• Availability Buckets: How reserves are grouped based on their remaining days of availability.
• Augmented Airport Reserve (ARC): The purpose of ARC assignments and how they differ from regular reserve flying.
• Daily Standby: Understanding the standby process and how it relates to reserve assignments.

Part 3: Order of Assignment

The final portion provided a detailed walkthrough of how Crew Scheduling assigns flying to reserves.

Topics included:

• Self-Assignment: How RSA fits into the overall assignment process.
• Pre-Assignments: How certain flying, including Language Qualified and longer groupings, may be assigned before other available flying.
• Availability Buckets: How one-day, two-to-three-day, and four-or-more-day availability affects assignments.
• Assignment Priority: How Call Me First preferences, seniority, pairing credit, and remaining availability determine assignment order.
• ARC Assignments: How ARC is incorporated into the assignment process.
• Daily Standby: How newly uncovered flying is assigned after the initial assignment process.

Watch the Webinar Recording

If you were unable to attend the live webinar, or would like to revisit any of the topics we discussed, the full recording is available for you to watch at your convenience.

For your convenience, the video is divided into chapters, allowing you to jump directly to a specific section or topic without having to watch the entire webinar.

Watch the New Hire Reserve Webinar Recording

We encourage you to use this recording as a resource whenever you need a refresher on reserve procedures, contractual protections, or the order of assignment.

Continuing Reserve Education

Our goal is to help every Flight Attendant feel more confident and informed when navigating reserve. We encourage you to review Section 8 of our Collective Bargaining Agreement, familiarize yourselves with the applicable Letters of Agreement, and reach out to us whenever questions arise.

We also concluded the webinar with a member Q&A, where we addressed several questions submitted in advance and during the session.

Mahalo again to everyone who joined us and participated! We look forward to continuing these educational opportunities and supporting you throughout your time on reserve.
