Dear Members,

PIT DISPLACEMENT UPDATE

As you know eighty (80) active Flight Attendants will be displaced from the PIT Domicile effective June 1, 2006. The base breakdown of where the PIT Flight Attendants will displace is as follows:

LGA - 6
DCA - 8
CLT - 11
PHL - 55


No Flight Attendants will be displaced from CLT.

The Company has mailed a packet to each displaced Flight Attendant today. The packet contains the formal displacement letter; relocation booklet; priority return form and a displacement Q and A. Links to all of the documents are provided in this Eline.

The priority return form must be completed and returned to the Company by June 30 in order to be valid. Please refer to the following contract section (18-2) regarding Priority Return:

A flight attendant who is displaced in accordance with Paragraph C of this Section may exercise priority return over non-displaced flight attendants and utilize his/her seniority to return to his/her former domicile when a vacancy occurs or the base is reopened. Furthermore, free available space on Company transportation facilities for the shipping of personal belongings shall be furnished to the extent permitted by law. At the time of displacement, the Company will provide the flight attendant with a preference form. A flight attendant who wishes to exercise this option of returning to his/her former domicile must file the preference form within thirty (30) days of his/her displacement. Should the flight attendant decline the first opportunity to exercise a priority return, or subsequently transfer voluntarily to a domicile in another location, this right of return will be forfeited. Subsequent displacements will not cause the flight attendant to forfeit the right of return. 

All of the Local Councils will be able to provide assistance to those Flight Attendants being displaced into a new base. 

Thank you,

Mike Flores, President
US Airways Master Executive Council
