Council 47 LAX – Happy New Year

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Los Angeles Based Flight Attendants

Happy New Year!!!

On behalf of the Council 47 LAX leadership team, we want to wish you all a safe and happy New Year.

2025 brought a lot of change and, at times, uncertainty. Through it all, you remained steadfast in your commitment to one another and to our beloved Pualani.

2026 will bring another year of change, and we want you to know that we will be by your side every step of the way. Change can bring a range of emotions, from excitement to frustration, but one thing will remain constant: our support for you.

We are proud of the incredible team of officers, chairs, and volunteers who serve this base, and our commitment is to continue advocating for and representing you.

Wishing you all the best year yet,

Council 47 Leadership Team

Council 47 LAX – LAX Worksheet Update

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Los Angeles Based Flight Attendants

LAX Worksheet Update

Aloha LAX,

Many years ago, when our flying consisted of 1 to 2 pairings, a monthly worksheet was created as a quick reference to help members calculate items such as over duty times and drop times for the applicable pairing.

As our base has grown and flying has evolved, there are now multiple pairings in any given month. With the addition of the SEA domicile to Council 47 in April and added flying, maintaining worksheets for every pairing and scenario is not sustainable.

As a result, effective January 1, 2026, we have made the hard decision to suspend these worksheets. We know how frustrating this news can be, especially for members who have relied on these worksheets over the years. They were created to simplify a process that can feel overly technical, and we recognize the value they have provided.

Below is a simplified cheat sheet to help you independently calculate your legalities, along with references to the applicable contract sections. We strongly encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with these calculations, especially in the event of an irregular operation.

In Solidarity,

Josh, Paul and Beth

Over Duty

Section 7.F.2.a.(2)

When a Flight Attendant exceeds 14 hours on duty, they receive 1 hour of pay, but not credit, for each hour or fraction of an hour beyond 14 hours.

Example:

  • Check in at 0700
  • 14 hours on duty is reached at 2100
  • Over duty begins at 2101
  • If your flight blocks in at 2046 plus :15 minutes, your first OVR14 hour begins at 2101

Drop Time for Exceeding Duty

TURNS SCHEDULED 14 HOURS OR LESS

If your pairing is originally scheduled for 14 hours or less, your maximum on duty time is 16 hours.

QUICK FORMULA:

Check in + 16:00 hours = max duty

To figure out drop time away from base:

16 hours – scheduled return flight time – :15 minutes + :01 minute

All in LDT – Local Domicile Time

TURNS SCHEDULED ABOVE 14 HOURS (LAX Sideletter)

THE RULE: When turns are scheduled above 14 hours, LAX is governed by the Sideletter duty extension.

  • Take the second flights printed arrival time
  • Add 2 hours
  • Subtract the second flights printed block time
  • Add 1 minute

Example:

Turn Flight 933/934
Printed arrival time of Flight 934 is 21:30
Add 2 hours = 23:30
Minus block time of 5:15 = 18:15 plus (+) 1 minute

Drop time is 18:16 LDT (local domicile time)

To figure out drop time away from base:

Second flights printed arrival time + 2:00 hrs − second flights printed block time + :01 minute = DROP TIME

Uniform Inquiries

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

First and foremost, mahalo to everyone who takes the time to read and engage with our communications. This is the most reliable way to stay up to date with accurate, timely information that we share to support and inform our membership.

With all of the feedback and questions we received from our Uniform Point Redemption Reminder, many of you reached out to us in the Leadership with a variety of issues regarding Uniform pieces, points balance, account login and ordering.

For information regarding Uniforms in our Contract (CBA – Collective Bargaining Agreement) please refer to Section 6 : Uniforms.

General Contract Information

  • Section 6.A. – Wearing of Uniform
    While on duty, Flight Attendants shall wear their uniforms in the style and manner prescribed by the Company.

  • Section 6.C.1.2.3. – Uniform Point Allowance Program

    1. Replacement of required uniform items and Company-approved optional items will be accomplished through the use of the Uniform Allowance Program (UPAP).

    2. On January 1st of each year, eligible Flight Attendants shall be credited with six hundred and fifty (650) points to be used for purchase of replacement uniform items and Company-approved optional items. One (1) point is equal to one (1) dollar. Uniform points may not be carried over from year to year.

    3. Replacement uniform items will be paid by the Company up to the annual uniform point allotment described in Paragraph C.2 of this Section.

    4. If the cost of replacement and Company-approved items exceeds the annual UPAP limit, the additional cost shall be the responsibility of the individual Flight Attendant. If the cost of a Flight Attendant’s order exceeds the value of UPAP points the Flight Attendant currently has available, the Flight Attendant shall be able to pay the difference between the order total and the UPAP point balance, for that order.

2025 Uniform Points Expiring Soon

This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

This is a quick reminder to check your uniform point balance and make sure you use any remaining points before the end of the year. Unused uniform points do not roll over in to the new year, so now is the time to place any last-minute orders you’ve been putting off.

Take a few minutes to log in, review what you may need, and use those points before they disappear. The Affinity Website can be found in our IFS website under the Uniform & Grooming tab.

In Solidarity,
Mike Cabilin, LEC Uniform Committee Chair
