SFO Pairings Update

by Virginia Fritz, Council 35 Scheduling Chair and MEC PBS Committee Member
Flight Attendants will continue to see the pairings in SFO shift from month to month as Network Planning moves routes around, does aircraft rotation, and changes timing of certain flights we are accustomed to seeing in our SFO pairing selection. AFA Pairing Analyst Karen Ferrell and Local Scheduling chairs continue to advocate based on the feedback received from members. The most recent months of pairing selections have been the company’s solution rather than the AFA solution. While there is no guarantee that the company will always apply our desired changes, they continue to attempt to find the right balance of pairing trip length distributions that SFO prefers based on feedback. Trip Layovers, while in normal times is easy to advocate for by requesting soft locks, have been harder to apply as our route structure continues to vary. Most recently the committee has been advocating for more 4K’s, Hawaii layovers, more 2 days, less 4 days and as always, commutable productive trips as a whole. Please continue to send both positive and negative feedback each month so that we can continue to advocate for SFO and thank you for your patience while we navigate these changes.  For more information, please reach out to Virginia Fritz, Scheduling Chair.

Hotel Committee News and Info

by James Bozanich, Council 35 Hotel Chair

As we round the corner from 2020 to 2021, the Hotel Committee wanted to share some information that may be helpful.  Here are some hot topics:

Crew Transportation

Crew vans are for assigned crew only. All of our transportation is provided to us clean and sanitized to keep us safe and healthy. Unfortunately, no family or friends are permitted to join us at this time.

Van Drivers not Wearing a Mask

Let someone know via REPORT IT app.  Each state and county have different rules and regulations which can cause confusion on this topic.  As a reminder, it is Alaska’s policy that all of our transportation drivers wear a mask for Flight Attendant’s safety. If this is not happening, write it up in the Report It app as a safety concern. It will then be addressed by management and shared with the AFA Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee to drive corrections. If this issue requires urgent attention, FAs should contact the Crew Scheduling Duty Manager and request new transportation.  

Resources

As a reminder, the current hotel and transportation list can be found in our Flight Attendant webpage under hotels and on the IMD:  Good-Reader>>ASFA Supplemental>>Hotel Hotline.  Questions can be directed to James Bozanich, Hotel Chair. 

ASHSC Committee Member Needed

The SFO Air Safety Health and Security Committee (ASHSC) is looking for one additional committee member.  Please review the ASHSC webpage and review the requirements for more information.  Please email Brad Young with your expression of interest and for any additional information.

End of Year Update

Goodbye, 2020!

As 2020 comes to an end, your local AFA Officers want to express our gratitude to each and every member of AFA Alaska Council 15- SAN.  Starting with the Recurrent Training fiasco to the COVID pandemic, our members have handled everything thrown at us with grace and professionalism. We have stayed unified and supported each other.  We are proud to represent such an amazing group of Flight Attendants!

4th Quarter CBTs

All 2020 CBTs must be completed by Dec. 31st if you are not on a leave. Failure to complete by the deadline will result in progressive steps of discipline. If you are currently on a leave you have 60 days once you return from leave to complete your CBT.

CBT’s may be completed on your company issued IMD or on your personal device or computer.

On your IMD, launch the Cornerstone Learn App
portal:  aagtraining

Using your personal device or computer?
Alaskas World > Inflight Page> Training> Cornerstone

*Please verify that all modules have been completed by reviewing your Cornerstone Learn transcript OR ensure that you have a received an email stating your training has been completed.

If you are having any significant problems with the Cornerstone app, please open a support ticket by going to the following link: http://support.afaalaska.org/ provide screenshots if possible.

Be Prepared

We are seeing a rise in Covid 19 exposures and test positives as well as entering into the Flu season. It is a really good idea to pack a thermometer, ibuprofen and your favorite cold medicines in your overnight bag.

Professional Standards vs. Management

Conflicts or issues with Coworkers 

Please keep in mind that many personal conflicts should be taken to your AFA Professional Standards (PS) team and not taken immediately to management.  Often EAP/ PS can resolve the problems or issues without Management becoming involved. Once management is aware of the situation, it could lead to all parties being called in for meetings. There is the potential of 1 or all parties involved receiving discipline and or possibly even termination depending on the issue and once all parties involved are heard in meetings with Management.

Our AFA EAP and Professional Standards Committee is an invaluable resource to assist you in dealing with conflicts between Flight Attendants (as well as Pilots) without creating job jeopardy or threat of discipline. 

The PS/EAP team works with both sides of the disagreement to find the best possible resolution and is completely confidential. Our Professional Standards team can reach out to other AS workgroups that have Professional Standards. 

The Professional Standards team has had a high success rate in working with the Flight Attendants involved to achieve a positive outcome. 

Your EAP/ Professional Standards Committee Representatives are:

Melanie Buker – chair 

melanie.buker@afaalaska.org

208-890-1849

Ava McWilliams – co-chair

ava.eap@yahoo.com

Rex Hampton

760-218-7567

Holly Mozzone  

hollymozzoneeap@msn.com

253-334-2848

Contacted by Management?

If you receive a call or email from any Supervisor, it is best first to clarify if the conversation could lead to disciplinary action. If the answer is “Yes,” at this point you can request that the Union be involved in any further discussions. However, even if the supervisor states that the conversation won’t lead to any discipline if at any time you feel the questions to be uncomfortable you can end the conversation by saying you will only continue with an AFA Union rep present. 

Including a Union rep, there is insurance. They are an advocate and a second set of ears to ensure that your point is understood clearly by the company and not misinterpreted.

Reach out to your local officers at SAN@afaalaska.org

Membership Dues

Thank you to those of you that have made an effort to remain current with your Membership Dues while out on leave of absence and/or Voluntary Furlough!

If you are calling the AFA Membership office 800-424-2401 EXT 707, please leave a message.  Due to the COVID pandemic office staff are working remotely.  Messages are checked and calls will be returned within a timely manner.   

“How much do I owe?”

While on leave of absence (Medical, COVID, Staffing Adjustment, etc.  LOA) and/or enhanced voluntary furlough (EVF) you are responsible for the first three months of membership dues ($50/mo.) 

If you took a combination of leaves/EVF and you were out continually for three months or longer it is unlikely that you will owe more than $150. you can pay online at https://unionly.io/o/afacwa/dues 

“Do I owe membership dues if I attend(ed) Recurrent Training (RT) while on Leave of Absence/EVF?”

No.  Attending RT during a month in which you were on LOA/EVF does not trigger an additional membership dues payment.  This also applies to Requal Training (RQ).

Committee Update

Reserve:

Council 35 would like to offer a special thanks to Rachel Sebastian for her commitment to SFO the last few years as Reserve Chair.  As a resident of the Portland area, Rachel is now lucky to be based at home and has transferred to PDX.  With the new opening, Reserve Committee member Kyle Ogiela, has now volunteered for the chair position.  Welcome Kyle!
Get to know Kyle in his own words:

Kyle started his aviation career in April 2018.  He was born and raised in Las Vegas where he then went on to serve a mission and lived in Paraguay for 2 years. He then attended BYU and obtained his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in painting while taking advantage of several remote study programs that took him throughout Europe, Tonga, and New Zealand. Following school he went to Atlanta where he went into operations management with Pest Control companies which finally culminated with him moving to Seattle in 2007. In 2018 he turned his work experience toward aviation.  When he started as an agent he quickly moved to become a coach and then a lead. He jumped on the opportunity to transition to inflight and was the 1st graduating class of 2019.  He has loved the decision to come to inflight and even more excited having the opportunity to serve.  At the end of last year he joined the reserve committee.  He jumped right in to being a reserve buddy for the newer classes. He loves the ability to dive in and find answers.  He looks forward to learn more and of course assist in any way every day.

Human Rights:

Back in June we introduced Sejal Patel as a new HR Committee member.  We are happy to report she has accepted the chair position for Council 35.  Thank you Sejal!

End-of-Year Reminders

Record Improvement:

JCBA§32.G.4 defines the year-end record improvement process for Flight Attendants. If a Flight Attendant has no more than 4 attendance points at the end of the year, s/he achieves 480 annual TFP, and the FA does not accumulate any points for the months of November and December, then her/his point balance will be brought to zero.  The manual adjustment occurs mid-January which will be reflected on FAs attendance point records.
