        Council 47 LAX – Uniform Points

        November 19, 2025 07:00

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

        Time to Use Your Uniform Points


        Aloha LAX,

        As the year wraps up, please remember to use your remaining uniform points before December 31.

        Under Section 6.C of our Collective Bargaining Agreement, Flight Attendants are credited with 650 uniform points each January 1, valued at one dollar per point. These points can be used toward the purchase of replacement uniform items or company-approved optional pieces through the uniform vendor. Unused points do not roll over into the new year and will be forfeited if not used by December 31.

        To make the most of your allowance:

        • Place your order early to avoid end-of-year processing delays.
        • Inspect your uniform items for wear or damage and replace them as needed.
        • Remember that you can pay the difference if your order exceeds your annual 650-point balance.

        Useful Links:

        • Click Here to order Uniform Pieces
        • Click Here to order Accessories and Luggage Pieces
        • Click Here to go to the Uniform Page on IFS for additional information (alterations, grooming standards, contact information, etc.)

        In Solidarity,
        Your Council 47 AFA Leadership Team

        SEA Domicile Negotiations Update – November 2025

        November 17, 2025 17:00

        This message is for pre-merger Hawaiian Flight Attendants

        • Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee is close to finalizing an agreement with management

        Negotiations Update

        Our SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee continues to work with management on the SEA domicile provisions. We are nearing a final agreement, with our priorities focused on ensuring that Flight Attendants who transfer have the right to return to their former domicile, as well as addressing staffing and other provisions that will protect Flight Attendants who transfer to the SEA domicile.

        As you recall, our priorities were:

        • Transfer Processes – strengthening protective elements of the transfer process for those who may be interested in moving to the new domicile
        • Return to HNL or LAX Domicile – addressing the concern of Flight Attendants transferring to SEA and potentially wishing to return to their Hawaiian domicile before the merging of the Hawaiian and Alaska SEA domicile
        • Staffing – ensuring that staffing is sufficient to meet operational demands
        • Moving Expenses – advocating for fair and comprehensive compensation related to any necessary relocation
        • Operational Concerns – defining the type of flying and pairings that will be constructed in the domicile
        • Safeguarding Existing Bases – protecting our HNL and LAX domiciles during this transition

        Even after the SEA Domicile Letter of Agreement is finalized, we anticipate that additional issues and concerns will arise as management moves forward with implementation, and we remain committed to addressing these matters. We are hopeful that we will be able to conclude these negotiations and share further updates with you by the end of the week.

        As always, we remain committed to getting you, the Hawaiian Flight Attendants, the best protections for those of you considering transferring to the new domicile. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local leadership or email the SEA Domicile Negotiating Committee at sea@afahawaiian.org.

        Council 47 LAX – Holiday Reminders

        November 17, 2025 07:00

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

        🎄 Holiday Pay and Doctor’s Note Reminders 🍁

        As we head into the holiday season, here’s a quick refresher on Holiday Pay and Doctor’s Note requirements as outlined in our Contract.


        Holiday Pay

        [Section 3.L] Flight Attendants receive additional compensation for working or being on duty during the following recognized holidays:

        • New Year’s Day (January 1)
        • Thanksgiving Day
        • Christmas Day (December 25)

        Pay Details:

        • In addition to all other compensation, you’ll receive an extra hour of pay for each credited hour worked on the holiday.
        • If you are on duty or away from base with no flying on a holiday, you’ll still receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay/no credit.

        [Section 7.I.5] If you are recalled on a holiday, you’ll receive Recall Pay (2x) plus Holiday Pay (1x), for a total of 3x pay for that portion of the grouping.


        Doctor’s Note Requirements

        [Section 19.G]

        A doctor’s note is required for any sick occurrence on the following days:

        • Thanksgiving Day
        • Three days before and after Christmas Day

        Note: Christmas Day itself is not included in the doctor’s note requirement.

        A doctor’s note is also required for any absence longer than seven (7) consecutive calendar days.

        Important exceptions:

        • If you are not on the Sick Leave Monitor Program and have not had a sick occurrence in the previous six (6) months, you are exempt from the holiday doctor’s note requirement.

        • The note must be provided upon return to work or within ten (10) calendar days from the first day of your sick occurrence, whichever comes first.
