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.
RSV F/A Trip Requests
-
The general button is still available for text requests - again, short and to the point is best. CS will be denying requests that have unnecessary information included.
-
Last Call requests using the "Other" button will be denied. Be sure to use the Last Call button to request low priority standby. However, if you want to include a specific request that includes a prioritized list that has a last call request in it is acceptable. i.e. "1) AM II, 2) low priority standby"
-
Please note approval is just an acknowledgment that your request has been received. As with any trip request, you will check Crew Web the day prior to your request to see if it was awarded. If so, please self-notify or not available, contact Crew Scheduling to sign off.
Requesting on Reserve days:
A Reserve Flight Attendant can request for specific trips or ARC on their reserve days. These requests need to be submitted via FLica in the Reserve Trip Request Folder. Requests for reserve days need to be submitted two days prior to the date of departure.
For example, if you are on reserve on May 3rd, you have between 00:01 on May 1st and 00:01 on May 2nd (24 hours) to submit your request for the 3rd. You cannot submit too early or the too late or else your request will be denied.
