Due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East and recent airspace closures, Flight Attendants may be subject to schedule reassignments. When reassignments occur with at least one day's notice, Section 7.Q.3. of our JCBA applies. Below is an example of the 7.Q.3. reassignment process.
If you lose your pairing a calendar day or more in advance, at the time contact is made with Crew Scheduling to notify of the loss of flight time, you may immediately be reassigned to a replacement pairing or be released. If you wish to begin the reassignment process, you may call crew scheduling as soon as you notice a cancellation.
If no reassignment is available at the time you’re notified:
- You may work with Crew Scheduling to make up the lost time on days not originally scheduled to fly. This must be done during the initial contact and will result in an adjustment to your guarantee; or
- You may work with Crew Scheduling to make up the time as close as possible to the value lost on the days you were originally scheduled to fly, with no loss of pay. This can be accomplished at any time up until 1600 on the day prior to the original pairing; or
You may choose to remain subject to reassignment, in which case:
- You may contact Crew Scheduling after 1600 on the day before your original trip & you will be advised if it’s likely that you will be reassigned to a pairing. Based on their response, if you choose to remain subject to reassignment you must contact Crew Scheduling between 1800-2200 on the evening before your original trip. At that time Crew Scheduling will either reassign you or release you with no loss of pay.
Additional questions regarding reassignments can be directed to your Local Council Representatives.
