SAP Min/Max windows, additional time was available for June Secondary Lines
in most domiciles.
You should notice a significant
change.
The reserve coverage in all
domiciles was calculated at 20%. The amount of positions in open
time after Secondary Line construction per domicile was approximately 10.1%.

Domestic
Deadhead Before/After an International Trip Means International Pay and
Premiums
Those Flight Attendants who
have a domestic dead head before or after an International trip are entitled
to International pay and premiums for these segments as per our contract
Section
12-6 D 1.
The Company is aware of the
lack of payment to the Flight Attendants. If these premiums were not on
the 15 April pay check they were to have been on the 30 April paycheck.
Please double check your pay stub and let your supervisor know if this
is not the case.
The MEC also suggests that
if you have the same D/H in April that you check your up coming paycheck.

Change
to TDY Rental Car Arrangements
Flight attendants who are
on TDY for the month of MAY pleased be advised of a new procedure.
Flight attendants who are
assigned TDY, and require a rental car, now should contact Inflight Administration
via the 800 line to make arrangements for a car. The flight attendant
will be transferred to Gregory Bunten in Inflight Administration and he
will arrange a car that will be direct billed to the company. This
will eliminate the need for flight attendants to call several car rental
companies searching the best rate.
This change is two fold in
benefit, first it eases the burden of an up-front out of pocket cost for
the flight attendant and secondly it helps the company control cost.

Who Stays
On-board on a Through-Flight With Passengers?
Seniority is the determining
factor, (not trip pairing or position), when deciding who remains onboard
to accompany through passengers while at the gate. Therefore, the junior
f/a (even if "supplemental" or "additional") will remain onboard as long
as their staying will not cause a delay on a subsequent flight assignment.
Worm Writers
Get Wormier
By Mary E. Behr,
PC Magazine
Most viruses and worms, although
wantonly destructive, are technologically clever. Today many are all that
and more: They are a marvel of social engineering.
Consider an e-mail a PC Magazine
staffer recently received in his personal account. The subject was
"Worm Klez.E immunity." Klez.E was a very malicious worm that was
first detected in January. The body of the message was the following:
_____________________________________________Klez.E
is the most common world-wide spreading worm. It's very dangerous
by corrupting your files. Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus
technic, most common AV software can't detect or clean it. We developed
this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus. You only need
to run this tool once, and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm, some
AV monitor maybe cry when you run it. If so, Ignore the warning, and select
'continue'. If you have any question, please mail to me.
_____________________________________________The
attached "tool" was none other than Klez.H, the latest variant Worm_Klez.A,
which was initially encountered in October 2001. According to MessageLab's
VirusEye (www.messagelabs.com/VirusEye/),
at 9:21 A.M. Wednesday, April 24, the online e-mail security provider
had encountered nearly 24,000 Klez.H infections in the previous 24 hours.
By comparison, Klez.E, the last version, was down to 1,065 infections.
As with most worms and viruses
these days, Klez.H exposes another social foible--that people are lax about
staying up to date on security patches. It's important to note that
updated versions of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express are immune to
the worm. See Microsoft's Windows Update (www.windowsupdate.com)
and Office Update (http://office.microsoft.com)
for the latest patches for your e-mail software.
Perverse propagating is not
the only thing Klez.H is about. The worm modifies the system Registry
to ensure that it loads at startup and goes about infecting EXE files,
deleting antivirus files, and overwriting files. It also has the
ability to infect a network through shared folders or drives.
The good news is that all
major antivirus packages seem to catch Worm_Klez.H-- despite any e-mail
message to the contrary. |
