HNL Reserves Utilization for LAX Coverage

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

It has been brought to our attention that our HNL Reserves are being sent to LAX for coverage with trip assignments that may or may not be consistent with the provisions of our CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement – Contract). This is actively being addressed by our HNL LEC 43 Leadership Team, Martin Gusman and Kela Chong.

If this is happening to you, please do the following as it applies:

  • Document your experiences! 
  • File an SCR
  • Keep timestamps. This is to ensure that you are receiving proper rest and compensation
  • While the Company is obligated to ensure your accommodations, it is always recommended to confirm your crew accommodations such as hotel and transportation to and from the airport upon communication with CS.
  • Complete DIRTD (Delay In Return To Domicile) filing if necessary and refer to Section 3.M.1.a.b for the parameter overview of language, calculation and pay.

Important To Know

  • You MUST be given a schedule that returns you to HNL – not just a one way assignment to LAX
  • CAN NOT be given an ARC assignment and a deadhead assignment as a single assignment for the same day. You CAN be given an ARC assignment, then assigned to DH on that day.
  • CAN NOT be on “STANDBY” or assigned a Reserve Availability Period “RAP” in LAX to be on standby at the Crew Hotel.
  • You MUST be given ten (10) hours free from duty and a minimum of nine (9) hours “Door to Door” uninterrupted rest in the hotel from arrival to departure of the crew. 
  • Rest CAN NOT be interrupted unless flight is delayed at which time, CS CAN contact you 90 minutes prior to roll time from hotel
  • You CAN be assigned to work an originally scheduled DH as a Reserve, or a pairing within your duty limitations in accordance to the Contract. Rest, duty time and positive contact made, will determine the legality for such assignment.
  • Positive contact CAN be from a company representative (GSA, Station Manager, Inflight Manager, etc).

Holiday Pass Travel Reminder

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

As we head into the busy holiday season, a quick reminder for anyone planning to bring family on a layover while you are working the flight. Your first responsibility is always to your working assignment, so please be sure to have a solid back up plan in case your family cannot make it on your intended flight.

For those pass traveling on their own, please remember that peak travel brings unpredictable loads and operational challenges. Always have a back up plan so you are not left stranded or unable to return home as planned.

It is important to remember that Pass Traveling (Non-Revenue Travel) is a company benefit and not a right that is furnished by the Contract. This benefit is not something the Contract allows protections on for violations should it result in the suspension or revocation of your pass travel privileges.

Travel safely, plan ahead, and enjoy the season.
