Dear Council 41 Members,

Security Reminder

As a reminder, flight attendants in UNIFORM are permitted to carry on board aircraft the recently banned items. If you are traveling out of uniform you will be expected to check any of the banned items prior to airport security. 

If you had items taken on Thursday, the Company will reimburse you for replacement cost. Please see the MEC Eline for reimbursement procedures. 

If you encounter any problems with passengers and the restricted items, please notify the Captain and let the ground staff deal with the problem. It is not your job to police the passengers.

If you have any questions you can call Donna Schmidt (DCA Safety Representative) at 772-834-5197

Media Information

A reporter from a Florida paper is doing an extensive article on the real life of flight attendants preparing for the anniversary of 9/11. The story she is doing is about what it really means to be a flight attendant and how it affects our families. If you are interested in participating please let me know at alin@afausairways.org for further information.

Fly Safe,

Alin Boswell
