        C19 PBS Reserve Reminders for June Bidding and LEC Hotel Committee Report

        April 26, 2017 16:15

        On the Cusp of Reserve? The PBS Committee would like to remind you of the following helpful hints:
        On the cusp of Lineholder and Reserve?  You may need to ‘Waive’!
        Many of you in SEA that are on the cusp of lineholder and reserve may not realize you may need to ‘waive’ certain contractual rules in order to hold a line of pairings.
        Waiving down to ‘Allow 24 Hours Off in 7 Days’ and waiving the ‘No Same-Day Pairings’ rule could be the only way for you to hold a line.  If you see others junior to you holding a line and you didn’t, it’s probably because they ‘waived’ those rules.
        Check your bidding number on the seniority list on the Inflight webpage at the beginning of each month.  Then check the PBS Info Page for the number of reserve lines in your base for the next month.  This will help you to determine how close you are to still being on reserve.  If you’re in the bottom 50 or so lineholders in SEA then you need to strongly consider entering those ‘waive’ lines if you hope to be awarded a line of pairings instead of reserve.

        Hotel Committee

        LEC Chair, Jodi Snow

        For a year now the Hotel Committee has been working with management to address concerns with unscheduled layover hotels. Flight Attendant crews have been experiencing terrible issues associated with these alternate hotels. Due to the on-going issues, the committee has partnered with MEC Vice President, Brian Palmer, to bring these concerns forward to the company and have them addressed. The Hotel committee is now confident that the list of alternate hotels is updated and provides reasonable accommodations for the crews. However, situations may still arise where flight attendants experience a hotel not on this list due to high demand in any given city. If you experience a hotel that does not meet our negotiated language, please file a crew care form (see below.)

        The Hotel Committee will document properties during upcoming site visits that would be a good fit for the alternate hotel list to keep the list updated.

        Two members of the AFA Hotel Committee, SEA FA Olivia Borrows and SAN FA Kanani Vallot, are monitoring situations at hotels and documenting these issues for the committee to address with the company.

        Remember, if you have problems with your hotel please document the issue via Crew Care:

        CrewCare (Layover Hotel and Transportation Feedback)

         Visit the CrewCare website (AS login required)

        If you have a layover hotel or transportation concern, first document the issue by writing it up in the CrewCare system.

        1. Log-in to the inflight website (http://asainflight.alaskaair.com)
        2. Open the menu
        3. Click “Hotels”
        4. Click “Hotel Links”
        5. Click “My Crew Care”
        6. Open the menu
        7. Click “Feedback”
        8. Click “Provide Feedback”
