AUGUST RECALL
The Company is in the process of recalling forty (40) Flight Attendants to BOS
effective August 1, 2007. The Company has mailed a letter to ALL Flight
Attendants on involuntary furlough. The Company has mailed two different
letters. A "will be recalled" letter was sent to the forty (40) most senior
Flight Attendants on involuntary furlough and a "possible recall" letter to all
other Flight Attendants on involuntary furlough. Both letters contain a RECALL
FROM INVOLUNTARY FURLOUGH FORM. 1113 Flight Attendants are currently on the
Involuntary Furlough list. The list is available on our website at
http://www.afausairways.org/recall/aug_07a.htm.
Here are some important points to
remember if you are on Involuntary Furlough status:
- You must respond to the "will be recalled
or "possible recall" letter. Failure to respond to the letter will result in
your being removed from the Involuntary Furlough list and you will be
separated from the Company.
- You must indicate on the Recall From
Involuntary Furlough Form whether you would like to bid for the recall or
pass recall.
- You may pass recall as long as there are
Flight Attendants junior to you on involuntary furlough. There is no limit
to the number of times you may pass as long as there remains a Flight Attendant(s) junior to you.
- If there is no one junior to you and you
fail to accept a recall, absent one of the following two conditions you
shall be considered to have resigned from the Company (Section 19.F page
19-2 of the Flight Attendant Agreement):
1. If there is no one junior to
you and you are recalled you must accept the recall unless you are
currently employed outside the company and your employer has required
you to sign a contract and you have previously notified the company
prior to such a contractual commitment. You will be placed on leave of
absence until the contractual commitment has been fulfilled.
2. If there is no one junior to you and you are recalled you must
accept the recall unless you have entered into a full time educational
program while on furlough. You will be placed on leave of absence
commencing on the effective date of the recall for up to ninety (90)
days or until the end of the current semester, whichever is first
(Section 19.J.a and b page 19-3 of the Flight Attendant Agreement).
- If you accept the recall you will be
eligible for moving expenses pursuant to the Flight Attendant Agreement if
you accept a recall to BOS and that was not the base from which you were
furloughed provided you have not passed a previous mainline East recall.
Pursuant to the current agreement the move must occur within three years of
the effective date of the recall. If you pass this recall or have passed a
previous recall you will forfeit any moving expenses for any subsequent
recall.
- If you were displaced prior to being
furloughed and were eligible for a priority return to the base you were
displaced from you will retain your priority return right provided you have
not passed a previous recall.
- YOU MUST RETURN THE RECALL FROM
INVOLUNTARY FURLOUGH FORM NO LATER THAN NOON (EST), JULY 2, 2007. THE FORM
MAY BE FAXED OR MAILED.
- IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE RECALL LETTER
AND THE FORM PLEASE CONTACT MARK STELZER AT 480-693-5827 BETWEEN THE HOURS
OF 10:00 AM AND 7:00 (EST) MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. YOU CAN EMAIL MARK STELZER
WITH ANY QUESTIONS AT
