Immersion Training Per Diem Overpayment

Over the past several months since Immersion Training began, AFA has been actively working with the company regarding the payment of immersion training per diem. Unfortunately, there have been multiple payroll errors throughout this process. We understand the frustration these issues have caused and want you to know that we have been working behind the scenes to ensure the company complies with its contractual obligations and corrects these errors.

Issue #1:

We were initially made aware that no per diem had been paid for immersion training. AFA immediately notified the company of its contractual obligation under Section 4.A.2. to pay a minimum of eight (8) hours of per diem for each day of training.

Issue #2

When attempting to correct the issue, the company processed payments at each Flight Attendant’s hourly rate of pay rather than at the negotiated per diem rate, creating additional payroll inaccuracies.

Issue #3

While correcting the overpayment through the recovery process outlined in Section 27.K.2., the company failed to provide advance notification to affected Flight Attendants prior to making deductions from paychecks. This lack of communication caused unnecessary confusion, anxiety, and frustration.

We recognize that ongoing payroll errors have been burdensome and have eroded confidence in the payroll process. We share your concerns and continue to hold the company accountable for these repeated mistakes.

We encourage all Flight Attendants to carefully review their pay statements and verify that they are being paid correctly. If you identify any discrepancies, please report them to HA.fapay@alaskaair.com and copy your Council 47 Officers at 47@afahawaiian.org. Keeping us informed helps us track trends, advocate on your behalf, and apply additional pressure for timely and accurate resolutions.

Action Required: Invalidate and Confirm Your Hawaiian Airlines ID Badge

Aloha Council 47 Members,

We want to remind all former Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendant badge holders that the company continues to require the invalidation of Hawaiian Airlines ID badges in accordance with TSA requirements.

The company has advised that approximately 415 directives have been issued to Flight Attendants between all three domiciles who have not yet surrendered their HA ID badge or provided proof that the badge has been properly invalidated. Flight Attendants who have not completed this requirement may be at risk of missing the directive deadline and could be subject to further disciplinary action.

To comply with the directive, Flight Attendants should ensure their Hawaiian Airlines ID badge has been invalidated by punching two holes in the expiration date:

• One hole through the expiration month
• One hole through the expiration year

If you have already invalidated your badge but have not yet provided proof, please submit a photo clearly showing the badge with both hole punches visible.

It was brought to our attention that some Flight Attendants who previously invalidated their badges, either on their own or with the assistance of management, may have received a directive in error. After discussing this issue with management, the company acknowledged there were instances where invalidated badges were not properly documented. This was a failure in the company’s recordkeeping process, not a failure on the part of the affected Flight Attendants.

We understand the inconvenience, frustration, and anxiety this may have caused and apologize to those who wrongly received certified mail.

If you have questions regarding this requirement or need assistance, please contact HA.inflight.performance@alaskaair.com.

Please do not delay in completing this requirement if you have not already done so.

Mahalo,

Josh, Paul and Beth
