3pm Update
Dear Seattle Flight Attendants,
As of 3pm today Seattle Open Time has been up and working since 2:33 pm. At this point, several days remain open and active trading appears to be working well. However, the initial concern with the system failure is still my main focus.
I have discussed the failure with Director of Crew Scheduling, Kieran Whitney, who reports that a corporate system update around 2pm today may be the culprit. I am awaiting futher information and will prepare a detailed blast for you in the upcoming days.
In the meantime, I have registered my complaints with the company for failing to provide a system that allows Seattle Flight Attendants (and Flight Attendants system wide) their contractual right to trade trips. They are working on a solution for next month and will be sharing the information with you, as well.
Rest assured, I will continue to press the issue with the company to ensure that contractual Open Time procedures are afforded to all Flight Attendants every month.
In Solidarity,
Laura Masserant

Frustrating that not all of us had the same opportunities to trade, pickup or drop. Thank you for trying to make it right.
