        Your Master Executive Council (MEC) conducted interviews last week for one Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) Member position and two merger representative positions that will represent pre-merger Virgin America Flight Attendants. The MEC would like to thank the candidates who demonstrated willingness to represent our Flight Attendants. After thorough deliberation, the MEC has appointed Jamie Cogen to the JNC position and Lynne Voigtsberger and Rolando Teran to the merger representative positions.


        Joint Negotiating Committee

        About Jamie Cogen

        Jamie started his career with Virgin America in 2009 as a Customer Service Agent. In January 2011 he joined the Inflight department and was initially based in New York (JFK). Jamie later transferred to San Francisco (SFO) where he upgraded into the role of Inflight Team Leader. In April 2013 he transferred to the newly opened Los Angeles (LAX) base where he remains today.

        In July 2013 Jamie joined a few other advocates in approaching Transport Workers Union to help organize and unionize the Flight Attendants. Twelve months later, with the assistance of TWU, the organizing committee, and a lot of determination the Virgin America Flight Attendants were certified by the National Mediation Board.

        Jamie graduated from the University of Phoenix with an AA degree in Hospitality, Travel and Tourism. Prior to becoming a Flight Attendant he worked for a large accounting software company helping clients with training, customization, and implementation.

        When not flying, Jamie resides in Long Beach, California where he likes to ride his bike, cook, read, and travel.

        About the JNC

        The Joint Negotiating Committee works to obtain interim safeguards including a fence agreement with management (which maintains separate Inflight operations for a specified period of time) and merge the collective bargaining agreement(s) and/or respective work rules into a collective bargaining agreement for the combined airline. Additional information about the JNC can be found at http://afaalaska.org/merger/jnc.

        Your full JNC is MEC President Jeffrey Peterson, Jennifer Wise MacColl, Lindsey Steele, Jamie Cogen and AFA Senior Staff Negotiator Paula Mastrangelo


        Merger Representatives

        About Lynne Voigtsberger

        Lynne has been with Virgin America for 10 years. She worked in the role of ITM and is currently an ITL based at LAX.  She was an original member of the Work Rule Committee for 3 years and has also served as a Peer Review Panelist for 4 years.

        Lynne has worked as a Flight Attendant for 31 years, and her past history includes TWA and American Airlines during the merger in 2001.  During the merger, when the TWA Flight Attendants were stapled to the bottom of the American Airlines seniority list, Lynne became part of a team that fought and ultimately helped to enact the McCaskill-Bond Act of 2007 assuring that all future flight attendant seniority would be handled fair and equitable in the event of a merger or acquisition.

        Lynne lives in Redondo Beach with her husband and has a daughter living in Santa Barbara.  She loves all things beach related and spending time with friends. She does house, dog & cat sitting whenever possible, loves a fine wine, gardening, entertaining, and traveling.

        About Rolando Teran

        Rolando has been a San Francisco-based Flight Attendant with Virgin America for 10 years.  In addition to his flying duties, he has served as an Inflight Team Leader and Air Transportation Supervisor.  Prior to start up, Rolando also held a few other roles in assisting with other departments working at headquarters and a brief special assignment position in Guest Care after launch.

        Prior to Virgin America, Rolando worked the Flight Attendant position with Northwest Airlines for 17 years based in Detroit, New York and San Francisco.   While at Northwest, Rolando was an active Union member working with the base representative while under the Teamsters, PFAA and AFA-CWA prior to leaving Northwest.  Rolando was an active founding organizing member of the union involvement with TWU in 2010 along with other Virgin America inflight team members.

        Rolando resides in San Bruno with his partner of 21 years and their two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Izzy and Lily.  He enjoys spending non-flying time with friends, beach and sand vacations, wine tastings, gardening or sometimes packing up the car with Izzy and Lily and taking hikes and long walks at any of the Golden Gate National Parks trails.

        About the Merger Representative Positions

        In their roles as merger representatives, Lynne and Rolando will be responsible for compiling the necessary information to merge the Flight Attendant seniority lists in the upcoming Alaska Airlines/Virgin America merger. They will work closely with the pre-merger Alaska merger representatives, the MEC, and the AFA International Office.  Additional information about the seniority integration can be found at http://afaalaska.org/merger/seniority.

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green and Brice McGee

        Become A Member, Have Your Voice Heard!

        If you haven’t already had the chance to complete an AFA membership application, you can download and print one by clicking here.  The AFA membership application is not a form that can be completed online; it must be filled out, signed in ink, and returned to an AFA representative or mailed to AFA.  Signing up to receive AFA email communications is not the same as completing a membership application.  Completing an application ensures that you have the right to vote in officer elections and on tentative agreements.

        Equal Rest for Flight Attendants

        AFA International has actively been lobbying lawmakers to change FAR rest minimums for Flight Attendants.  In 2014, FAR 117 was enacted to protect pilots from extensive duty days and provided minimum rest requirements. AFA believes Flight Attendants should enjoy the same protections.  For more information on how you can get involved and help make this change for all of us, please visit AFA Interactive.  There you will find instructions on how to petition our political leaders for change.

        Village Visits

        For several days each week, Local Council President Melissa Osborne, Local Council Secretary James Ikehara, and several other AFA Alaska leaders have visited the Villages in JFK, LAX and SFO to share information about AFA, answer questions, and provide AFA membership applications.  Thanks to everyone who stopped by!  Additional Village Visits will be held over the next few weeks. You can also find the most up-to-date information on Village Visits on the Council 35 Facebook page.

        Don’t Forget to Wear Your AFA Pin

        The AFA pin is an approved uniform piece and should be worn on the left collar.  If wearing both your AFA pin and anniversary pin, the anniversary pin should be placed closest to the tip of the collar.

        Your AFA pin represents our combined strength and unity as we work toward achieving improvements for all of us and should always be worn with your uniform.  If you don’t already have an AFA pin, you can pick one up from an AFA representative during an upcoming Village Visit.  Visit the Council 35 Facebook page for recent “pin pics.”

        Have your own pin pics to share?  Send them to us (along with the name of everyone in the picture) at vx@afaalaska.org.

        Seniority Integration

        Seniority will be integrated based on competitive (bidding) seniority date in accordance with the AFA Constitution & Bylaws. Competitive seniority date is often referred to as “date of hire” although the actual application is more complicated than that. A previous communication on the AFA seniority integration policy can be found here.

        Joint Negotiating Committee and Merger Representative Positions

        Thanks to everyone who applied for the JNC and Merger Representative positions.  Interviews for both positions were conducted at the MEC Meeting in Seattle earlier this week.  An announcement of the appointees will be sent out within the next several days by AFA email and will also be posted on the Council 35 page of the AFA Alaska website.

        FAQs

        Are new-hire ITMs able to apply for AFA membership?

        Yes!  New hires achieve active member status with AFA after four full calendar months of employment but are considered “apprentice” members from their first day. For example, if you were hired on January 3, you would attain active member status on June 1 (first of the month after completing four full calendar months of employment). “Membership” is a relationship between the F/A and the Union; this is separate from the “probationary period”, which is a relationship between the F/A and the company.  As an apprentice member, you enjoy the benefits of the Union however you will not be able to participate in any voting activities nor hold an officer and/or committee position.

        Is it true that that Skywest has the same boarding priority as VX on Alaska metal?

        Skywest, though not owned by AAG, operates flights on behalf of Alaska Airlines through a capacity purchase agreement (CPA).  For nonrev purposes on AS metal, Skywest is grouped into the E7 boarding priority code, which is then further subdivided (E7A, E7B, etc.). In addition to Skywest employees, pass riders of several other airlines are also slotted into the E7 boarding priority code. All Virgin America teammates should be boarded after Alaska and Horizon employees and dependents but before other airlines when they use ZED 0 on Alaska flights, including those operated by Horizon or Skywest.  Management is working to integrate the two travel programs and expects this to occur sometime in early 2018.  In the meantime, two different systems prevent them from generating an integrated priority list.

        Can we implement a commuter code like AS F/As have in order to get priority boarding status?

        Boarding priority for commuters is part of the current AS contract and will not likely become a benefit for VX until we’re on a merged agreement.

        Can we adopt the AS summer attendance program?

        AS Flight Attendants do not have a perfect summer attendance program per se, but rather a quarterly productivity premium (QPP).  The premium provides an incentive for AS F/As to pick up flying over their awarded schedules. The incentive is $500 per quarter except for the third quarter (July, August, and September) when it is $1000.  This provision is not a company-wide policy, however, it is outlined in section 21.R of the AS contract.  Therefore, VX F/As would not be eligible to participate in the program until we are on a merged agreement.

        Will the pay increase be applied to initial training pay?

        Training pay is a flat rate for the entire training period and therefore would not be eligible for a rate increase.  Immediately following training, the pay rate is brought up to the pay scale for the 1st year, so on that date the pay increase will be applicable. Anyone who worked at least 1 day after graduation (between Jan 1 and Apr 30, 2017) would be eligible for the retro pay increases.

        Alaska’s maternity policy is much more parent friendly.  Can we adopt the same policy at VX?

        Some of the maternity leave provisions are contractual, and other parts of it are AS company policy.  As for the contractual side of it, we won’t see any changes for VX until we have a merged agreement.

        I commute from SAN, when will I be given the opportunity to change bases?

        Base transfers between pre-merger VX and AS bases will not occur until after we are on a merged agreement and have an integrated seniority list.  The earliest this could possibly happen would be approximately Q2 2019, but could take longer.

        I would like to leave Virgin America to apply for a position at Alaska.  Can I retain my VX seniority?

        Any VX teammate interested in applying to be a Flight Attendant at AS will need to resign from VX and begin as a new-hire employee.  To be eligible for hire at AS, VX teammates would be required to remove their name from the integration list and give up all their seniority rights.  If this is something you have been considering, AFA would like to caution you to consider how this course of action will impact your position and seniority.  If you have any further questions, please reach out to the Council 35 leadership team at vx@afaalaska.org.

        I have questions for Melissa and James, how can I reach them?

        Please refrain from sending messages to VX email accounts and/or via Facebook messenger.  Your questions will be answered faster if you send them to the Council 35 email vx@afaalaska.org.  Being available to you is important to your AFA leadership team and by following the prescribed methods of communication, your leaders can better assist with your questions, suggestions and concerns.  Thank you for understanding!

        I am not getting any emails from AFA Alaska Council 35. What can I do?

        Please be sure to subscribe to Council 35 emails using a non-Virgin America email account.  You can subscribe online at http://afanewsletters.org/subscribe/.  If you encounter any problems with the online subscription page, please email us at vx@afaalaska.org.

        For release to pre-merger AS councils only

        Alaska Air Group has announced the intent to operate Alaska Airlines mainline flights out of Paine Field (PAE) in Everett, WA sometime in late 2018. Management has informally expressed interest to AFA in discussing a co-terminal agreement out of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Driving distance between SEA and PAE is approximately 40 miles. Paine Field may not be made into a SEA co-terminal pursuant to §28.F.7 [Domiciles: Co-terminals] without mutual agreement between the parties.

        It is far too early to speculate on how operations out of Paine Field might affect Inflight operations. Be assured that AFA will keep you updated once formal discussions regarding PAE begin with management.

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green and Brice McGee

        Crew Scheduling management has advised AFA that the issues reported by Flight Attendants earlier today with Jeppesen Crew Access (JCA) appear to have been resolved.  If you encounter any issues with JCA going forward, please report them to your Local Scheduling Committee.

        AFA realizes that JCA continues to create frustration for our Flight Attendants despite our ongoing efforts to resolve the numerous issues that have been previously identified and continue to develop.  We will keep holding management accountable for resolving these issues as expeditiously as possible through ongoing advocacy and by filing contractual grievances as warranted.

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green, Brice McGee and MEC Scheduling Committee Chairperson Zac Weeks

        Zac Weeks, AFA MEC Scheduling Chair is in touch with management and they are working on the issue.

        We have a new start time for 10:00am to make it as fair as possible, instead of randomly opening it.

        Apologize for the inconvenience and I will communicate more later today.

        What is the MEC’s position regarding the Early Push Program?

        The Master Executive Council (MEC) has several concerns with the Early Push program. The MEC is supportive of achieving operational performance metrics such as on-time arrival, but there are limits to what management can reasonably ask Flight Attendants to do in order to achieve those metrics—such as early boarding.

        Boarding should begin no earlier than 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure

        Contractually, you are under no obligation to arrive at the aircraft earlier than 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure. It is acceptable to begin boarding right at 45 minutes prior to departure—but only if all required safety checks and the Flight Attendant briefing have been completed and the entire Flight Attendant crew voluntarily agrees without feeling pressured. Allowing boarding to commence right at 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure adds a few extra minutes to help out the operation (as compared to regular boarding). However, AFA strongly recommends boarding no earlier than 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure.

        AFA is concerned about the contractual pay and duty implications of the Early Push Program

        AFA is very concerned about the contractual pay and duty implications of boarding earlier than 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure. AFA has also asked how the FAA would interpret early boarding for duty purposes, and we are currently awaiting clarification from management and the FAA on that point. Additionally, let’s not forget that in the current contract we agreed to shorten domicile release at the end of a sequence by 15 minutes—from 30 minutes after block-in to 15 minutes after block-in. The MEC is not supportive of further potential incursions into our duty day, especially “freebies” like boarding earlier than 45 minutes prior without adequate pay improvements and duty adjustments.

        Contact AFA if you experience the following…

        The MEC was recently assured that hotel transportation departure times would not be changed in order to achieve an early push. The MEC was also informed that although the projected departure time will change, the report time would not change. Finally, the MEC has received reports of Flight Attendants being pressured by various parties to board early. If you believe your van time has been adjusted in anticipation of an early push, your report time is changed or if you experience pressure to board earlier than 45 minutes prior to departure, contact one of your local AFA representatives as soon as possible.

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green and Brice McGee

        FAQs

        I just renewed my passport last month. Am I eligible for passport reimbursement?

        Management has agreed to offer passport reimbursements retroactive to Jan 1, 2017.

        How do I request a passport reimbursement?

        Like taxi reimbursement requests, Flight Attendants requesting passport renewal reimbursement should submit their receipt to an inflight base admin, who will coordinate with accounts payable to process these requests.

        Will I be eligible for the retroactive pay increase if I was on special assignment?

        Any pay category tied to the step scale will be applicable for the new rates and retro pay. Additionally, sick and catastrophic sick hours will be counted in the calculation for retro pay.  Disability benefits as well as worker’s compensation are paid through a third party.  AFA is investigating how the pay raise will affect those individuals.

        How will we receive our retroactive pay?

        The retro pay will be included on the 5/31 payroll, and will be applied as lump sum payment itemized as “Retro” on ADP earnings statement. ​

        When and where will we see our new pay rates?

        The new pay rates will be posted in earnings statements in ADP.  The first paycheck accounting for the new rates will be 5/31.  The 5/15 payroll (remaining payment for April bid period) will still show the old rates.

        When will the new PED policy be implemented?

        This week, AFA will meet with management to discuss a timeline and process for implementation of the PED policy.  In the meantime, the current VX PED policy remains in effect.  Stay tuned for an update soon.

        I tried to swap a trip and it was denied due to “18-hour rule.”  I thought this was changed to 12 hours?

        Management has stated that implementation of this provision in the LOA will be on the deadline date of 6/1/17.

        How many more initial training classes are planned for this year?  Will they all be hired as VX Flight Attendants or will they be hired by AS?

        Management has confirmed that there will be 4 more initial Flight Attendant training classes for the year 2017 at VX.  AS and VX will need to continue to hire and train individuals to meet their respective operational needs through 2019.  AS F/As and VX ITMs will not be able to work on one another’s aircraft until differences training is complete and we have a joint seniority list.

        Is it true that Alaska is planning to close the JFK base due to sick calls?

        Alaska management has stated they do not have any plans to make immediate changes to the JFK base.  However, they have also said that they are concerned with the high volume of sick calls at JFK and they are evaluating the long-term viability of the base.

        I am not getting any emails from AFA Alaska Council 35. What can I do?
