Introduction to the Minimum Pay Rules Flow Chart

Scheduling Committee

We’re introducing a valuable new resource from our Scheduling Committee! We’ve developed a visually engaging flow chart that breaks down the Minimum Pay Rules (MPRs) outlined in Section 21.D of our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This chart is your go-to tool for understanding the essential elements of your pay provisions, ensuring that every Flight Attendant knows exactly what they are entitled to under the contract.

The flow chart highlights the following key elements:

  1. Duty Period Minimum (DPM). Guarantees a minimum of four (4.0) TFP for each duty period.
  2. Extended Overnight Rule (EOR). Provides an additional four (4.0) TFP for free periods between 1 AM and 11 PM.
  3. Multiday Sequence Minimum (MSM). Ensures a minimum of four (4.0) TFP based on the number of calendar days in a sequence.
  4. Average Duty Period Guarantee (ADPG). Guarantees a minimum of five (5.0) TFP times the number of duty periods in a sequence.

We encourage you to dive into this flow chart and familiarize yourself with the MPRs. Empower yourself to make the most of your contractual entitlements! If you have any questions or need more details, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Local Scheduling Committee Chairperson.

Thank you for being proactive in understanding your rights under our CBA. Your knowledge is key!

Update Regarding the Printed Contract, Quarterly Productivity Premium Disputes and Stranded Pay

AFA and Alaska Airlines management have resolved the last major issues holding up the publication of the contract

AFA and Alaska Airlines management have tentatively resolved the various disputes regarding the Quarterly Productivity Premium (QPP) and the parties have also clarified the language in Stranded Pay (found in Section 21 Compensation) to include the new Minimum Pay Rules. These were the last major issues holding up finalizing the contract in preparation for publication. The Master Executive Council (MEC) and the Contract Committee met recently to review the pre-indexed version of the contract and we are pleased to report the MEC approved the document for indexing.

Indexing is now underway

Indexing is now underway and should take only two to three weeks. Following indexing there will be a final proofread. Then the contract will be sent to the printer for publication and the electronic version will be made immediately available on the AFA Alaska website as well as on the Inflight Mobile Device.  Once printed, copies will be available for pickup in each domicile.

Pending Quarterly Productivity Premium (QPP) settlement

AFA filed a grievance (Grievance No. 36-99-2-26-15) alleging a violation of Section 21.R [Quarterly Productivity Premium] and all related sections of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when it excluded Flight Attendants who did not receive a PBS bid award due to leave status from the QPP. Once the parties have officially signed the settlement agreement that resolves the grievance in the near future, we will communicate the details to you.

Stranded Pay

The Stranded Pay (Section 21.N [Stranded Pay]) provision of your contract has essentially been completely re-written to clarify the provision and to accommodate the new Minimum Pay Rules (MPRs). AFA will provide you with the details of the improved Stranded Pay language in a separate communication.

 

In Solidarity,

Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Yvette Gesch, Becky Strachan, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Sandra Morrow, Stephen Couckuyt; MEC Grievance Chairperson Jennifer Wise MacColl; and AFA Senior Staff Attorney Kimberley Chaput
