Subject: Inclement Company Weather Policy 

The following is a review of Inflight's Inclement Weather departmental policy: 

Prior to a predicted severe weather event, Flight Attendants should make every effort to plan ahead and determine the best method for getting to work. During such events, Flight Attendants should make every effort to report for their trips. 

Should the Flight Attendant be unable to drive to work due to hazardous road conditions, he/she will notify Crew Scheduling and a Personal Day will be noted on the flight attendant's record. 

The Flight Attendant is then required to contact his/her supervisory team to advise the supervisor of the Personal Day. If the day was determined to be a qualifying Severe Disruption day at the base, the supervisor will change from a Personal Day to an Unable to Commute (SCM) and a notation as to the reason for the SCM will be made. Failure to contact the supervisor prior to the last day of the month will result in the PER remaining on the flight attendant record and the applicable vacation deduction will be made, per the PER policy. Note: Effective 1/31/05 future vacation deductions will not be applicable to Personal Days. 

If you had a "Personal Day" or an "Unable to Commute" that was related to the severe weather event of this past weekend, please contact your supervisor (Daily Business/DCP Supervisor) prior to the end of the month to ensure the appropriate dependability event has been noted on your record. Remarks will be added to your record noting the severe weather event. 

Thank you.
