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.

Q. How do I pick up an ETCH pairing if I can't post a pick up request in FLICA?
The reason you can't post a pick up in the ETCH drop only folders is because this is a known loophole that bypasses the seniority hold period. This is done to protect your seniority rights as outlined in the new contract. Here are the suggested methods for picking up an ETCH pairing:
-
Monitor the Drop Only Folder for a Flight Attendant Dropping the trip you are looking for (Don't forget the SORT button is your friend!)
-
Monitor Opentime - Remember you can submit a request for a trip in open time via FLICA OR PHONE.
-
Use the BID FA Trip Request Folder in Flica for ETCH pairing requests.
-
Subscribe to the FLICA alert (there is a fee) that will text or email you when a particular trip becomes available. See the FLICA services link at the bottom of the navigation pane in FLICA.
-
You can also look for FA's advertising drops outside of the program by subscribing to hawaiianfas or halfas - example: "Dropping KIX 9-25 - in FLICA"
ETCH Rules
-
12 hour hold period - 0600-1800 - Tradeboard posts after 0600 will roll over to the next day hold period
-
Seniority based award
-
Hold period ends without a pick up request? You may process it as a "normal" trade. Notify CS when submitting an ER drop for verification
-
Turns may only be traded with Turns and Charters may only be traded with Charters. (Revised for January 204 bid period)
-
May not add "Reserved For" or add another FA's name in the comments section of your Tradeboard post and are subject to deletion
-
May not add a PICK UP request in the TRADE ONLY or DROP ONLY Tradeboard folders and will be subject to deletion or not processed
-
Do not use the TRADE / DROP heading under type in the ETCH folders as this is a known issue that bypasses the seniority hold.
How It Works
-
There are two folders one is for TRADING and the other for DROPPING ETCH qualified pairings
-
When looking to TRADE an ETCH trip for another ETCH qualified trip you would select the TRADE ONLY folder
-
When looking to DROP a ETCH trip OR to pick one up you would use the DROP ONLY folder

DROP ONLY FOLDER DETAILS
DROPPING: When posting an ETCH drop on the Tradeboard make sure you select "Drop" from the Type drop down menu. All other catagories listed will either be deleted or not processed. Please note that when posting your Trip in FLICA, the deletion date is the same as the pairing date unless you specify otherwise.
PICKING UP: When picking up an ETCH Trip from the Tradeboard navigate to the ETCH DROP ONLY Folder. Select Tradeboard and locate the trip you want to pick up. Verify the posting date located under the person's name to identify if it is in the required hold period.
-
If it is today's date, look to see if it was posted PRIOR to 0600. That trip is currently in the 12 hour hold and should be awarded after 1800
-
If it is an earlier date, the hold period has been satisfied and it should be processed as a "regular" pickup
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MAY NOT POST A PICK UP REQUESTS in ANY ETCH FOLDER IN FLICA - it will be subject to removal or not processed.
