Due to concerns over the impact of Winter Storm Juno, Alaska Airlines management is cancelling flights into and out of Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). AFA and management have agreed to enact the provisions of 8.S. Natural Disasters and Acts of War in order to facilitate leaving no crews on the ground as determined to be necessary. Affected crewmembers—some of whom are currently in flight—will be turned back to a Flight Attendant domicile starting as soon as this afternoon.
A copy of the Memorandum of Understanding between AFA and Alaska Airlines enacting this provision may be found by clicking here.
