SAFETY REMINDER
It is extremely important that we maintain the FAA MINIMUM REQUIRED CREW COMPLEMENT (i.e., 3 F/As on 737, 319/320) during boarding, reboarding and deplaning. Although the MEC does not agree with the current staffing levels, we must adhere to FAR 121.391 & 393 (FAEM 3-8). Safety must take priority over customer service. If you have problems during boarding, reboarding or deplaning that require a gate agent's assistance, you must ask your pilots to radio in or they can use the loading
bridge phone. If the pilots are not available, you can explain to the passenger that you cannot deplane and they can wait or they can go to the gate area to resolve the problem.
The FAA has stated, that if circumstances of any future violation warrant it, a F/A may incur a personal fine - which can be up to $1,100.00, this includes manual violations.
If you are charged with a flight delay or have questions, please contact your Local Safety, Health, & Security Committee.
