February 2010 Reserve Lines
I once again requested on behalf of the reserves system wide that the company
construct more reserve lines in each base with weekends off and more line
consistency in general. I have been assured that we will see more consistency
over all due to the fact that FEB does not contain a major holiday. The weekend
OFF/INV consistency is a problem because FEB begins on a Sunday and ends on a
Monday.
-2 weekends in FEB are split over 2 months
-Reserve staffing levels are higher during the month to month carry over.
With that said, I am afraid that we will see very few lines system wide with
clean weekends off. There will be lines containing part of the weekends off. The
company did not give me any amounts on these lines and as I type this e-line, I
have not actually seen the lines as they have not yet been forwarded to me for
review.
NFL Days
Unfortunately some flight attendants are returning to reserve status after short
and long stretches of holding secondary lines. I have been receiving questions
system wide from these flight attendants regarding NFL Days. Please utilize this
link to view and or print the 24/7 Legality Issues and NFL Days, specifically
the Q & A. It also can't hurt for those of us who have never left reserve status
to review as well. If you have any further questions about NFL days or are
questioning information given to you by scheduling, please contact your local
AFA office.
