Reserve Committee Meeting Recap – 1st Quarter 2022
Our AFA Reserve Committee Chairpersons met on Thursday, March 10 to discuss their ongoing program of work to represent and advocate for our Reserve Flight Attendants. The Committee also met with management to review a number of specific concerns that were brought forward by Flight Attendants. Your Local Reserve Committee is available to answer questions, provide clarification, or help to resolve any reserve related issues. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Welcoming Our Newest Flight Attendants
We are excited to welcome our newest Flight Attendants to the line! Operating experience (OE) flights for the first class of 2022 are finishing up, and some of our new Flight Attendants will start flying the line as early as this week. With new Flight Attendants joining us, now is a good opportunity to brush up on some new hire related programs that haven’t been active for a while, such as Operating Experience (OE) and job familiarization flights. Ensuring that our newest Flight Attendants have accurate and correct information about our contract and work rules is critical to their success while on probation. If questions come up, please refer them to an official AFA resource or their Local Reserve Committee for assistance.
Before It Becomes a Grievance: Understanding ADR and SRB
When AFA and management disagree on a contractual issue, it doesn’t necessarily become a grievance right away. Most times, there is an intermediate step taken to try to resolve the issue. Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) brings together decision makers from AFA leadership, inflight management, and labor relations management to try to work the issue out. Scheduling Review Board (SRB) is a similar process that involves AFA Representatives and Crew Scheduling management. If everyone can’t agree on a resolution, our AFA Grievance Committee can still file a formal grievance and address the issue through the contractual grievance process.
