Greetings, AFA 66
eCommunication - Friday, May 29, 2009 If you are a flight attendant whose longevity time would have resulted in a pay increase during your VLOA, you may not have received your pay increase. This error is a result of the employment status codes used by US Airways for Flight Attendants on VLOA. Your union representatives are working with the company to identify any Flight Attendants impacted and to assure that the correct employment status codes are being utilized. Please contact your union if you were on VLOA and did not receive your pay increase, or if you have any questions concerning this matter. Eva De Castro Beginning June 1, 2009, US Airways will begin offering A la Carte Snacks for sale ranging from $3 to $5 on all flights, except Transatlantic, Shuttle and US Airways Express. There will be various types of snacks for purchase from oatmeal to cookies and potato chips. The A la Carte Snacks will be loaded into the handheld devises onboard, however, a revised ORR will also be provided if necessary. A la Carte Snacks will be provisioned in Phoenix and other bases and will be provisioned in the top two drawer positions of the cart used for storage of the Power-Nap Sack, on most aircraft. Passenger menus will be provided in each seat back pocket. The Company will be providing additional information
regarding the A La Carte Snack sales. AFA members have notified the office that the Company’s
policy of having only one gate agent boarding most flights has
resulted in gate agents asking flight attendants to board early.
AFA wishes to remind flight attendants to adhere to all
contractual guidelines set forth in the contract in Section 5.C,
5 Hours of Service, Requirements for system-wide scheduled
departures. AFA Council 66 is hosting a golf fundraiser on July 18th at Sunland Village Golf Course in Mesa, in an effort to raise money to help our fellow Flight Attendants who are experiencing financial troubles during our nation's economic crisis. Raising money for "The Pantry of Love" food bank and setting up a fund for those in need are two ways we can lend a helping hand to our flying brothers and sisters. The golf fundraiser will take place on Saturday, July 18th. Check-in is a 9am and the shotgun start is at 10am. There will be free range balls, a scramble, long drive, straight drive, closest to the pin, and long putt contests.A beverage cart will be available so everyone can stay hydrated in the Summer heat. The entry fee is $40 per person. Entry fee includes the greens fee, cart, and lunch. There will be 4 person teams. You can sign up as a group of 4 or as individuals. If you don't have a group of 4, the course will make the teams. Prizes will also be given away at the end of the game. See the flyer below for details and sign-up information. You can call the Sunland Village Golf Course in Mesa at (480) 832-3691 or call or email the AFA66 office to sign up. The AFA66 phone number is (480) 966-1231 and our e-mail is membership@afa66.org. Come out for the cause and help make a small but significant difference in the life of a fellow Flight Attendant. Erin McLoughlin |
