Sick Leave & Vacation Make Up (Updated 2020)
-
Once the 7-day vacation period is cancelled, Crew Scheduling will add the AVL code to the Flight Attendant’s schedule to replace the vacation days. Flight Attendants will have two options to make up the lost time. They can pick-up a trip(s) either through the Open Time process or through the Trip Request process. They can pick-up trips anytime during the month for VMU. Since all make-up requests are now processed at seniority (7.K), the Flight Attendant wishing to do make-up, must request trips through the normal pick-up process in the applicable folders and if awarded must contact Crew Scheduling to advise they would like to apply Vacation Make-Up for that trip(s). Remember each vacation day carries a credit of 3 hours, so you need to review their schedule to determine how many hours they need to make-up.
-
Once the Flight Attendant made up their hours as noted above (18.M.2), Crew Scheduling will remove the AVL days from their schedule to reflect the make-up was completed. If the Flight Attendant does not pick-up flying, she/he can be assigned only on the AVL days.

Great News!
We are excited to announce the automation of the Trip Request process in FLICA. At this time the enhancement will be for the Bid FA & GDO Pick-up Trip Requests folder. This folder will be activated (go-live) on February 7, 2018.
Overview
Here are some of the enhanced features of the Bid FA & GDO Pick-up Trip Request folder:
-
You will no longer enter text requests as this will be replaced with preference options that can be selected from a drop-down menu.
-
Crew Schedulers will no longer copy and paste requests onto a spreadsheet to process, all requests will be handled in the folder.
-
This folder will begin awarding at 10:30HST each day, for trips departing the next day.
-
You will now have up until 10:30 LDT (Local Domicile Time) the day prior to trip departure to submit your preferences.
-
Preferences will now expire at the end of the Bid FA & GDO pick-up process instead of 16:00 LDT as currently stated in the AFA contract.
-
Reserve Trip Requests will continue to be handled the way they are today.
-
Training Materials
Look for Trip Request instruction documents detailing the associated changes, including examples of how to enter request preferences, in the following locations:
-
FLICA – Instruction document will be located in the Trip Request Folder
-
Halflica.net – TR instruction document will be posted on the website
-
IFS Website – Planning & Scheduling – FLICA and Trades page will also post an instruction document.
Communication
If you encounter any issues or have any questions with the new folder please submit a FLICA inquiry detailing your concern. The FLICA Inquiry Form is located on the IFS Website – Planning & Scheduling. General questions may also be sent to Halflica@Hawaiianair.com
We believe this is a very large step towards creating greater transparency both you and Crew Schedulers. We hope this enhancement will create a better experience for all involved with this process.
