Mexico Flights
Reduced
On May 1st the company announced its plans to reduce
flights to and from Mexico from May 10th through July 2nd.
The overall amount of flights to Mexico that will be affected
will be 38%.
The following cities will be impacted due to
this reduction. Acapulco (ACA); Cabo/Los Cabos (SJD); Cancun
(CUN); Cozumel (CZM); Guadalajara (GDL); Guaymas (GYM);
Hermasillo (HMO); Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo (ZIH); Manzanillo (ZLO);
Mazatlan (MZT); Mexico City (MEX); and Puerto Vallarta
(PVR).
If you have customers who have concerns or
questions about their flights please give them the following
number: 1-800-428-4322.
What we as flight attendants need to know is section 7-D of
our contract. Specifically the “Reroute Prior To Report
Time In Domicile” language in our contract. If you have a
trip that will be affected by these reductions you have
a duty to know your contractual rights.
A la Carte Snack Program
On June 1st the company will begin their Ala Carte Snack
program. It is similar to the program we had in the past, only
now there will be additional items along with the ability to
sell the items via the handheld
device.
Items
will include:
* Quaker Oatmeal Express Golden Brown Sugar (1.9
oz)
* Maruchan Instant Lunch – Chicken (2.25

The prices will be
between $3.00 and $5.00 for these items.
LEC Meeting
Thursday May 21st at 2:00PM in the Union office conference
room.
We have been to the airport several days the past month, and
the question that comes up the most is, “How do you the
Negotiators, know what we the Flight Attendants want while
negotiating for a contract?” The answer is?we have Local
Executive Council meetings.
This is your chance to come
hear what is going on in negotiations, and voice your opinion.
We look forward to seeing you there!
