Support the Airline Crew Family and Medical Leave Act!

Long awaited legislation to clarify family and medical leave eligibility requirements for flight attendants was recently introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY). The Airline Flight Crew Family and Medical Leave Act, H.R. 2744,  amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) so that flight crew members who have been paid for or completed 60% of their company's monthly hour or trip guarantee, annualized over a 12-month period, will be eligible for FMLA benefits. This legislation will ensure that flight attendants and pilots are treated fairly and qualify for the benefits provided under this landmark piece of legislation.
