Contactability Flow Charts

Our Scheduling Committee has created some new tools to help you better understand contractual language. These tools consist of two flowcharts that illustrate when you are required to be reachable by Crew Scheduling. One flowchart addresses situations when you are on duty, while the other covers times when you are on a RON/layover, on call as a Reserve, or off duty. Both flowcharts are available on the Scheduling Committee page of afaalaska.org for reference as needed.

United AFA Day of Action – October 26, 2023
Yesterday, United Airlines Flight Attendants conducted a powerful Day of Action with informational picketing events systemwide. United management continues investing in new planes, gates, service, and lounges. Meanwhile, United Flight Attendants are still without a new contract recognizing the hard work and sacrifice they’ve put in to make the company successful.
It’s time for United management to recognize the value of their Flight Attendants and deliver a contract with the improvements they have earned. Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants proudly stood in solidarity with our United counterparts on the picket lines, and we will continue to stand together—their fight is our fight! Our collective voice is strong and cannot be ignored!
