Latest Updates

Voluntary Furloughs

Voluntary Furlough Process (Section 16. B)

  • The voluntary furlough will be effective November 1, with six month and one year options.

  • Flight Attendants on voluntary furlough will be able to keep healthcare benefits at the same premium rates as active employees.

  • Flight Attendants currently on EVTO can bid for the voluntary furloughs.

  • At a minimum the bidding will be open until the end of Friday, September 26th, and we’re pushing to extend this period so people have more time to talk with their families before making a decision.

  • It is important for those who are considering a voluntary furlough to recognize how flying may change after a furlough. Reserve coverage will go more senior, for example.

Involuntary Furloughs

Involuntary Furlough Process (Section 16. A)

  • Following award of the voluntary furlough, management will proceed with involuntary furlough in inverse order of system seniority up to the number announced in the WARN notices.

  • The involuntary furlough will be effective December 1.

  • A Flight Attendant on furlough shall retain the same medical, dental and life insurance on the same terms and at the same Flight Attendant contribution rates as Flight Attendants on active status for 90 days and on-line space available pass privileges for one year.

  • A furloughed Flight Attendant shall retain all seniority and longevity accrued prior to the time of furlough for a period not to exceed six (6) years. The Flight Attendant shall continue to accrue bid seniority while on furlough.

EVTOs

  • Flight Attendants currently on EVTO can bid for voluntary furloughs.

  • All remaining EVTOs may be cancelled after the voluntary furlough is counted. We are in the process of confirming this asap so you have the best information to weigh your options.
