Bid the Date – Virtual Membership Meeting

Join us on February 27, 2026 for a virtual joint membership meeting with Councils 15, 18, and 47.

Each year, Councils are required to hold two membership meetings, with one held prior to the AFA-CWA Board of Directors Conference (BOD). This year’s Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for March, and this membership meeting will help your leadership prepare for that discussion as we represent you.

We will review the BOD agenda items that will be brought forward so members can share feedback, raise concerns, and voice their perspectives before being represented at the BOD.

Additional details, including RSVP information and the meeting agenda, will be shared soon. Please bid the date if you plan to attend.

Happy New Year!!!

On behalf of the Council 47 LAX leadership team, we want to wish you all a safe and happy New Year.

2025 brought a lot of change and, at times, uncertainty. Through it all, you remained steadfast in your commitment to one another and to our beloved Pualani.

2026 will bring another year of change, and we want you to know that we will be by your side every step of the way. Change can bring a range of emotions, from excitement to frustration, but one thing will remain constant: our support for you.

We are proud of the incredible team of officers, chairs, and volunteers who serve this base, and our commitment is to continue advocating for and representing you.

Wishing you all the best year yet,

Council 47 Leadership Team

LAX Worksheet Update

Aloha LAX,

Many years ago, when our flying consisted of 1 to 2 pairings, a monthly worksheet was created as a quick reference to help members calculate items such as over duty times and drop times for the applicable pairing.

As our base has grown and flying has evolved, there are now multiple pairings in any given month. With the addition of the SEA domicile to Council 47 in April and added flying, maintaining worksheets for every pairing and scenario is not sustainable.

As a result, effective January 1, 2026, we have made the hard decision to suspend these worksheets. We know how frustrating this news can be, especially for members who have relied on these worksheets over the years. They were created to simplify a process that can feel overly technical, and we recognize the value they have provided.

Below is a simplified cheat sheet to help you independently calculate your legalities, along with references to the applicable contract sections. We strongly encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with these calculations, especially in the event of an irregular operation.

In Solidarity,

Josh, Paul and Beth

Over Duty

Section 7.F.2.a.(2)

When a Flight Attendant exceeds 14 hours on duty, they receive 1 hour of pay, but not credit, for each hour or fraction of an hour beyond 14 hours.

Example:

• Check in at 0700
• 14 hours on duty is reached at 2100
• Over duty begins at 2101
• If your flight blocks in at 2046 plus :15 minutes, your first OVR14 hour begins at 2101

Drop Time for Exceeding Duty

TURNS SCHEDULED 14 HOURS OR LESS

If your pairing is originally scheduled for 14 hours or less, your maximum on duty time is 16 hours.

QUICK FORMULA:

Check in + 16:00 hours = max duty

To figure out drop time away from base:

16 hours – scheduled return flight time – :15 minutes + :01 minute

All in LDT – Local Domicile Time

TURNS SCHEDULED ABOVE 14 HOURS (LAX Sideletter)

THE RULE: When turns are scheduled above 14 hours, LAX is governed by the Sideletter duty extension.

• Take the second flights printed arrival time
• Add 2 hours
• Subtract the second flights printed block time
• Add 1 minute

Example:

Turn Flight 933/934
Printed arrival time of Flight 934 is 21:30
Add 2 hours = 23:30
Minus block time of 5:15 = 18:15 plus (+) 1 minute

Drop time is 18:16 LDT (local domicile time)

To figure out drop time away from base:

Second flights printed arrival time + 2:00 hrs − second flights printed block time + :01 minute = DROP TIME
