As AFA indicated in “AFA Requests Attendance Points Review” (February 7, 2017), representatives from the Master Executive Council (MEC) met with management this past Wednesday morning to address several topics of concern for AFA. The parties focused mostly on the continuing fallout from the Jeppesen Crew Access (JCA) cutover as well as points accrued as a result of Winter Storm Maya and the inability to reach Crew Scheduling due to busy phone lines.
AFA and management agreed to a separate meeting to review accrual of points resulting from those circumstances. However, the MEC has also received feedback from Council 39 members that the December snow and ice storms in Portland should also receive the same consideration, and we agree with you. The MEC has also heard from some of our members that they believe their attendance record is inaccurate because their JCA cutover points credit was not applied correctly.
How do you find your attendance points?

The MEC wants to hear from anyone who believes their attendance record is inaccurate or who received points due to circumstances beyond their control as a consequence of the following situations:
- Portland snow and ice storms (Portland metro area – December 2016/January 2017)
- JCA cutover points credit incorrectly applied (January 30th)
- Winter Storm Maya (Pacific NW – on or about February 5-7)
- Inability to reach Crew Scheduling (entire system – on or about February 6-7)
Send an email to points.review@afaalaska.org, with your name, Arctic and/or Peoplesoft number and supporting information. Include as much specific documentation as possible. The deadline for submitting an attendance points review request is Tuesday, February 21, 2017, at 5pm Pacific Time.
If you have already submitted a request to points.review@afaalaska.org, it is not necessary to re-submit your information unless you have additional documentation for us. There is no guarantee that your points will be reduced, but as always AFA will do our very best to advocate on your behalf!
The attendance points review meeting with management is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22nd after the conclusion of our February MEC meeting. The MEC will update you as soon as possible following that meeting—most likely the next business day.
If you have any questions, contact your LEC president.
In Solidarity,
Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Tim Green, Brice McGee; and MEC Grievance Chairperson Stephanie Adams
