        Change To Open Time and Flight Attendant-to-Flight Attendant Trading Timeline

        February 5, 2017 15:00

        Effective next bid month (March 2017), both Open Time and Flight Attendant-to-Flight Attendant trading begins on the 15th of the month. All bases will open on the same day (the 15th) with the times staggered by base (all indicated in Pacific Time):

        SAN – 9AM PT

        PDX – 10AM PT

        ANC – 11AM PT (10AM AKT)

        LAX – 12 PM PT

        SEA – 2PM PT

        Again, this will occur in March for April trading. Current timelines are in effect in February for March trading.

        This returns the trading timeline to the schedule established in the contract, §12.C.3 [Exchange of Sequences…: Trading Procedures]. You may recall that Alaska Airlines management and the Master Executive Council (MEC) agreed to ‘temporarily” alter the trading timeline when it became clear that eMaestro could not handle trades opening at the same time. The MEC has been assured that Jeppesen Crew Access (JCA) has more than enough capacity to handle the contractually mandated trading timeline, so we are defaulting back to the contractual application.

        The MEC is currently preparing a separate communication to address all the frustrations with JCA.

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Laura Masserant, Cathy Gwynn, Tim Green and Brice McGee
