Policies and Procedures Hotsheet - Flight
Attendant Cleaning and Airbus Full Cart
On March 1, 2005, the new cabin cleaning provision of the AFA-US Airways Flight Attendant
Agreement will go into effect. The cost savings resulting from this change will be from the
increased number of flight attendant cleaning stations, as well as the reduced amount of time
aircraft spend on the ground. The information contained in this *PDF file, defines the stations
for which the Flight Attendants are now responsible for tidying, as well as the in-flight, post
arrival and other cleaning procedures. Accomplishing the procedures outlined in this publication
will help ensure a clean, comfortable environment for our customers. Detailed information may be
referenced in the F/A Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapter 2, available on theHub/Inflight
Services home page/Forms and Publications.
Also included in this downloadable publication, beginning March 7, 2005, all A319/A320/A321
galley pack-outs will begin the transition from two half-size beverage carts to one full-size
beverage cart. This change is being made to provide a more stable means of serving beverages in
the aisle and to promote consistent service procedures across US Airways’ fleet. The following
provides pack-out and procedural changes associated with this transition. Detailed procedures
may be referenced in the F/A Policies and Procedures Manual, Chapter 4, on theHub/Inflight

Inadvertent omission to the policy which is located in our 2004 ratified side-letter of agreement Re:
Cabin Cleaning.
Side Letter reads as follows:
A Flight Attendant will not be required to perform such cabin cleaning duties after the conclusion of his/her duty day.
What this means is that the duty day of a Flight Attendant may not coincide with the RON of an aircraft as stated on the hot sheet.
Side Letter in its entirety (please copy and take with you when you fly):
Dear Perry,
During the Course of negotiations of the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement, the Company and the Association agreed to the following with respect to aircraft cabin cleaning:
Upon the Effective Date of the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement, flight attendants may be required to complete cabin cleaning duties, as defined below, at every domestic station and Nassau (NAS) following every such flight segment, with the exception of the following:
Transoceanic flight segments, NTI (non-transoceanic) segments other than NAS, and flight segments immediately preceding the scheduled RON of the aircraft or immediately following a scheduled red-eye, or immediately following any segment that originates or terminates in an airport west of Kansas City.
Such cabin cleaning duties shall be defined as, and limited to, the following: collecting paper and refuse in the cabin of the aircraft; crossing seatbelts; stowing pillows, and blankets in the overhead compartments; removing visible items from the seatback pockets; and collecting and stowing magazines as applicable. A flight attendant will not be required to perform such cabin cleaning duties after the conclusion of his/her duty day.
The company and the Association further understand and agree that this Letter of Agreement has the effect of (1) modifying Section 30F of the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement and (2) eliminating Letter of Agreement #21 dated March 25, 2000, and as modified by the December 3, 2002 letter from Michael J. Minerva to Perry Hayes. This Letter of Agreement does not require any flight attendant to engage in any individual cabin cleaning duty where doing so violates the scope provision then-governing any other non-flight attendant who both is employed by US Airways, Inc. and represented by any other union. Flight Attendants, however, will be required to perform all of the cabin cleaning duties defined above even instances where the Company has contracted vendor cleaners on duty.
Sincerely,
E. Allen Hemenway
Vice President
Labor Relations
Agreed
