Introduction to the Minimum Pay Rules Flow Chart
Originally posted December 9, 2024
We’re introducing a valuable new resource from our Scheduling Committee! We’ve developed a visually engaging flow chart that breaks down the Minimum Pay Rules (MPRs) outlined in Section 21.D of our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This chart is your go-to tool for understanding the essential elements of your pay provisions, ensuring that every Flight Attendant knows exactly what they are entitled to under the contract.
Grievance Committee Update – 4th Quarter 2024
Originally posted December 10, 2024
Our Grievance Committee protects all Flight Attendants from arbitrary and unjust disciplinary action and upholds our collective bargaining agreement. This update briefly summarizes the committee’s work over the past few quarters. Management has issued discipline lately for a variety of reasons. Read on for more information about why management is disciplining and terminating Flight Attendants. If you’ve faced a situation that you believe might be a contractual violation, please report the issue through the AFA Alaska Online Support Center. AFA Representatives review each report submitted and will follow up to help you determine options and a course of action.
The Importance of Reporting Hotel and Transportation Issues
Originally posted December 12, 2024
Reporting hotel issues is one of the most important tools Flight Attendants have to ensure continued quality and address concerns effectively. When feedback is provided via the MyCrewCare app, the report is sent directly to those that can actually help, including the AFA Hotel Committee. By using the appropriate reporting channels, you’re helping resolve current issues and contributing to the long-term quality of accommodations. We also want to hear about positive experiences, so don’t forget to give a compliment when one is due.
