Visa Issues

Re: Visa Issues

Dear Greg:

During negotiations leading to the 2005-2010 Agreement the parties agreed to discuss the matter of Flight Attendants based at U.S. or non-U.S. domicile locations who lose and/or are unable to maintain their legal ability to continue to work in the country in which they are domiciled, and who are not covered by the provisions of Section 22.L.

The following parameters will apply in such situations:

1. The affected Flight Attendant will immediately provide the Company all documentation necessary to support their request to be accommodated at a domicile location where they have the legal right to work.

2. Such documentation must substantiate that the Flight Attendant took all necessary steps, on a timely basis, to maintain their ability to be based at their current domicile location.

3. If the Company determines that the documentation provided satisfies the requirements of item number 2 above, the Company will advise the AFA of the Flight Attendant’s transfer.

4. The Company will make the final determination as to the domicile. The Flight Attendant’s preference(s) will be considered in making such a determination.

5. The above procedures will not apply to any Flight Attendant who loses the right to work in their current domicile location due to violation of local immigration law or violation of any other local law(s) that affects their ability to be domiciled in that location.

Hopefully these procedures will assist the Company, the AFA and individual Flight Attendants in dealing with such issues going forward.
