Bidding Reminders

Top, Down

When bidding, please remember that the program reads your bid from the top, down, starting at line 1. Each bid line may impact those below it, but not those above it.

Example: At line 10 you Prefer Off March 7 & 8. If honored, you will not be awarded trips or reserve days touching those dates from Line 11 – 150 (provided your bid is not affected by denial or coverage awards). Bid lines 1 through 9 would not be affected by this request.

Bid Groups

Bid Groups should only be used by expert bidders that are requesting very specific schedules. We frequently see bid protests when members use Bid Groups incorrectly Click here for more information on using Bid Groups.

Which Bid will determine my award?

The system will always award from your Current Bid if anything is entered. If you bid using your Default Bid, please ensure there are no accidental entries on your Current Bid.

While we encourage you to become familiar with WebApp. We are aware that some members may use both versions during the learning phase. When switching between Classbid (older) and WebApp (newer) versions of PBS, remember that the last bid submitted will be used by the system to award your schedule.

Questions?
Please reach out to the AFA PBS Committee atpbs@afaalaska.org.

T Mobile Sim and IMD Usage

You should have received via UPS a T-Mobile Sim card, it was sent to your address on file with the company. if you have not updated your address since you moved please do so in Peoplesoft.

The Sim comes in a big padded envelope with instructions on how to change it out along with a little metal tool that’s easy to miss. This process takes maybe 5 minutes at the most to do. Make sure you change your SIM card out as soon as you receive it. If you have not received one, please reach out to base management,

Most of you know that T-Mobile offers 1 hour of free internet on flights for their customers, Keep in mind the IMD is company property. if you add a personal Apple ID to your work device you have now given the company access to your personal information, they can check your IMD at anytime remotely for Apps that have been added, conversations via text or 3rd party apps, Photos, Videos ETC ETC.

Advice from your Local AFA Officers, use your IMD for work ONLY, People have been called into meetings and disciplined for content found on the device and usage of their devices both on personal time and during work hours that is not work related.

Sunset of ClassBid

ClassBid, the older version of our PBS bidding program will no longer be supported by NavBlue after the March 2022 bid period (for April schedules).

WebApp, also known as the newer version of the program (https://asapbs.navblue.aero/webapp) has been available to all Flight Attendants for several years now. If you are still unfamiliar with the newer version, you may wish to start reviewing the online training materials sooner rather later. The program is accessible outside of the bid period, so you may log-in and practice using the system under your Default Bid.

Your local AFA Scheduling, and Reserve Committee’s will be hosting Base Sits during the bid period over the next few months. Dates for February and March are listed below, April dates will be published in time for bidding. Base Sits are intended to help you fine tune your knowledge and ask questions one-on-one. Please bring the tablet, laptop or mobile device you normally bid on. Computers are available in SAN. If you would like a more formal approach, the AFA PBS Committee will be hosting another round of virtual on-line classes in March and April. Virtual Training will be on Microsoft Teams.

Pairing Update for March 2022

by Virginia Fritz, Scheduling Committee Chair, PBS Subcommittee Member

The company has been trying to find ways to mitigate their operational risk of cancellations due to crew staffing shortages. They have found that the average sick call on a 4 day can take 2 or 3 reserve flight attendants to staff because of reserve legalities and days-on availability. This has led the company to significantly reduce 4 days in all bases for March.

We have let crew planning know that we are very unhappy with this as it relates to the SFO base, and stressed that the quality of pairings is an issue, not quantity. If you have any feedback please reach out to sfo.scheduling@afaalaska.org so that we can relay any feedback to management.

Many in our base rely on longer trips. There are some tips to try and create your own longer pairings should you want to attempt it. You can attach one trip to another by adding a base turn (JCBA 8.T) to the beginning or end of another trip. A base turn isn’t necessarily a ‘turn’ but is “two (2) sequences combined in the same duty period that contain no less than one hour and forty-five minutes (1:45) block-to-block between the last flight of the previous sequence and the first flight of the subsequent sequence. The scheduled ‘base turn duty period’ cannot exceed fourteen (14) hours on duty according to CFRs.” Additionally, some trips have a SIP (JCBA 12.G),(a Sequence Interruption Point [SIP] will be any arrival of the aircraft at the Sequence Home Domicile). You can pick up a trip out of open time that in its entirety may not be legal to add, but with a SIP in base could create a legal combination. With many of the pairings we have, these tools may not always be applicable but we wanted to make sure that this information was available to you should you want and be able to use it.

Calling in Sick and Wellness Calls

As everyone knows, thanks to the many reminders from management, sick leave usage is at an all time high. Considering there’s a world-wide pandemic occurring this is not surprising. One way management has taken steps to attempt to curb sick leave usage is to carefully monitor sick calls. Many of the “suspect” cases are brought to the performance team for investigation from Crew Scheduling. When an FA calls in sick and offers more information than what is needed, this often will trigger a “red flag” and get passed along for an investigation. Best practice is to say only what is necessary to crew scheduling when calling in to report an absence. “Hi this is FA (name) Peoplesoft number (1234567) calling in sick for (trip number or reserve day).” Nothing more is needed. If schedulers are asking for more information, you are not required to divulge any health information.

The same guidance is also true for Wellness calls. Management has a process in place to follow up with Flight Attendants when they reach certain absence point levels. Normally each discipline level triggers a wellness call and/or email from base supervisors. Wellness calls with management do not require a response, however it is recommended that the FA provide a confirmation of the message. In recent investigations with FAs with high point levels, one of the questions from the performance supervisor is “did you receive the wellness calls from base leadership? And did you respond?” Best practice would be to respond via email only to any wellness calls and/or emails to avoid having a conversation with management without Union representation.

Member Question: How to use sick family

Flight Attendants can use sick leave to tend to a serious or emergency health condition of a family member. If you report sick for a qualified family member and do not have enough sick leave to cover the entire sequence or reserve day(s), the absence(s) will be converted to a Management Drop and attendance points will be assessed at a half-point per day. To see your sick leave balance log into Rainmaker for the most current balance. If you need time away from work to care for a sick family member and you do not have sufficient sick leave available, contact an Inflight Supervisor to request a Management Drop. For more information please review Bulletin 2021-0059.

Reporting Service Safety Hazards

by Brad Young, Council 35 ASHSC Chair/Council Rep

Please remember to report any safety hazards that you experience while performing the expanded onboard service. This could include examples of increased exposure to passengers (e.g. passenger removing their mask to speak to you, etc.) or other hazards related to service. Please also report any trash stowage concerns or issues (e.g. trash was stowed under the last row, in the LAV or in the O/H bin) due to the lack of dedicated ‘trash cart’ space or lack of galley trash bin space in the aircraft. Please fill out both an FAIR and ASAP report in those events. You can report these hazards through Block2Block and/or ReportIt! by submitting either a FAIR and/or ASAP for each flight on which they occur. It is important to include the terms “COVID-19″ and “service” in your narrative to ensure they are correctly categorized by management. This data will help our AFA representatives (Inflight Service and Safety Committees) to advocate for safe levels of service and/or further reduce onboard service again.

Dependent Verification

If you were in the group of selected employees in the dependent audit, the deadline to provide documentation for dependents receiving health care coverage is 12/31/21.

New Reserve Committee Members

Council 35 is happy to announce and welcome not only one new committee member, but two! Meg Casey and Camile Caldwell have stepped forward to co-chair the Council 35 Reserve Committee and the timing couldn’t be more perfect with all the hiring expected next year. Get to know these wonderful volunteers by reading their bios in their own words:

Meg Casey

Meg grew up as an Army brat and served for several years in the Coast Guard which ultimately led to her love of travel and meeting new people. It was with this in mind that she decided to pursue a career as a flight attendant with Virgin America in 2017 and now she’s not sure why she didn’t become a flight attendant sooner. She has been SFO based since she started flying and has bounced back and forth between reserve and having a line for the last 4 years. Meg knows how tough it can be to be on reserve, especially now, and she wants to serve as an advocate for our SFO reserves. She’s excited to serve in her new role and would like to invite you to reach out with any questions or concerns about reserve life or the reserve portion of the contract. Meg lives in the North Bay, and when she’s not flying, she enjoys hiking, traveling, reading, and trying all the food.

Camile Caldwell

Camile began her Flight Attendant career in October of 2017 with Virgin America, and quickly discovered her love of travel and the airline industry as a whole. She has been on and off reserve for her entire career, adapting to whatever crew scheduling throws her way, and holds a reserve line currently. With the drop off in flying due to COVID she took a voluntary furlough, which only made her realize how much she missed working and, upon returning to work, how much she wanted to get more involved within the FA workgroup. Camile is extremely eager to become a resource for all SFO reserves, work to help them better understand their contract, and be a voice for reserves within the union and to management. Before becoming a Flight Attendant Camile graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a BS in Geology. She currently lives in Sacramento and enjoys spending time with friends and family whenever she can.

Have a question for SFO Reserve? Both Meg and Camile can be reached at sfo.reserve@afaalaska.org.

November Updates

November 5, 2021 14:54

Reassignment and Pre-Cancellations

We have been contacted by some members confused by the differences between Pre-cancellations and Reassignments.

Reassignments take place the day of the sequence or after the sequence has started, whereas a Pre-cancellation takes place no later than the day prior to the sequence.
Flight Attendants are not able to decline Reassignments and waive pay.

A “like sequence” for Reassignment is simply an equal number of days, which is different than an “Alternative Assignment” for a Precancellation (2 hours before/after original report/release).

Pay for Reassignments [Section 10.R.5]
If your Reassignment results in your flying more than originally scheduled, calculated on a day-for-day comparison, the additional flying will be paid at 1.5X pay. [Section 10.R.5.b]

If your Reassignment returns to domicile more than 4 hours past original release time, pay is prorated at 1.5X beyond 4 hours. [Section 10.R.5.d]

Annual Benefits Enrollment

The Alaska Benefits Open Enrollment period for 2022 benefits ends November 17, 2021. Changes will become effective January 1, 2022. To see plan options, visit:

AFA Membership Dues

Many Council 15 members are in arrears with their monthly AFA dues based on the most recent report from AFA International’s Membership Services department. Although the amount of months in arrears varies widely, a member that is only one month late ($50) can fall into a “Bad Standing”. Once in Bad Standing, a members votes are not counted nor are they permitted to attend local council meetings until they are become current or make alternate payment arrangements with AFA Membership Services.

The local Membership Committee has begun reaching out to members that are currently in arrears, to advise them of their current balance due.

Due to a system outage account notifications and billing was halted for most of the last year. We still do not currently have access to specific billing information- only the amount due.

If you have taken any of the various Leaves offered due to the pandemic (Staffing Adjustment Leaves, COVID Leaves, or Enhanced Voluntary Furloughs, etc…,) you will likely have a dues requirement. The most common month that is missed is when you return from leave.. The month you come back from leave you wont receive a check and would need to pay that months dues online here PAY DUES NOW.

New Committee Members

Council 35 would like to send out a warm welcome to our newest volunteers! Two members have stepped up to fill in the recently vacated Hotel Committee chair position and to join our Air Safety Health and Security Committee. Introductions are provided in their own words:

ASHSC: Stephanie Garnett

Stephanie started her career with Alaska Airlines in February of 1999. She likes to refer to herself as a recycled FA having worked as a stewardess for Pan American World Airways back in the glory days. As a member of the SEA ASHSC for many years, she has earned 2 Soars awards. In addition, Stephanie serves as the AFA MEC Inflight Service Committee Chairperson. Safety is always paramount with any service decisions. Becoming tired of Seattle weather Stephanie moved to Honolulu almost two years ago with her two Pixie Bob cats. She has family on Oahu as well as the Bay area and enjoys spending time with them. Stephanie would like to invite you to reach out with any safety concerns you might have and would be willing answer some service questions as well. She is pleased to start a new chapter in her flying career by joining the SFO base and having the opportunity to be a member of the SFO ASHSC.

Hotel: Cassie Dole

Cassie began her career in the airline industry over 15 years ago. Starting as a gate agent with JetBlue in 2004, she quickly realized her real drive was in being a flight attendant. After a year with United Airlines, she was hired on with Virgin America in 2007. She quickly transitioned to the training department, and it was there that she found her next role as instructor, preparing flight attendants for life out on the line. Being a part of the cadre team for Virgin America’s international flight certification solidified her love of international travel. In 2010, she was able to partake in a crew exchange with Virgin Australia and was based in Sydney for a year. Traveling and overnight work trips are a passion of hers, she’s excited to channel that motivation, along with her desire to assist fellow flight attendants, in her new role. When not flying the line, Cassie can be found in the recurrent training office instructing, exploring local San Francisco restaurants, or traveling the world.
