More Than a Three (3) Hour Delay (After Report)

2024 CBA Section 10.J.8. – “When a flight departure is delayed for more than three (3) hours, the Flight Attendant who is scheduled for such flight shall not be required to stand by and shall be relieved of duty at her/his request, provided that other Flight Attendants are available to replace her/him without increasing the delay. A Flight Attendant desiring to be released shall remain on duty until the relief Flight Attendant reports for duty. A Flight Attendant exercising this option shall forfeit any pay and credit that may be accumulated under any other Paragraph in Section 10.”

This provision applies at sequence origination only, not mid-sequence. You are not entitled to Call Out pay or pay protection, but you will receive the Duty Rig from report to release. Section 11.D.5. states, “A Flight Attendant shall receive a minimum of one (1) hour of pay and credit for every two (2) hours of actual on-duty time prorated on a minute-by-minute basis of actual on-duty time.”

Example:  You are delayed for more than three hours and request to be removed from your sequence. You reported at 1000 and are relieved and released at 1400. Your four hours on duty would generate two hours of pay. Once released, contact Crew Scheduling to ensure your release time is added so pay for the duty day can be added. If the pay is not generated by closeout, submit a Direct Connect.

Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time

PHX-based Flight Attendants can utilize up to forty (40) hours of paid sick leave annually to cover absences due to personal medical conditions, care for eligible family members, or other qualifying reasons outlined in the Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time Policy.

Every January 1, the Company will provide eligible Flight Attendants with 40 hours of AZ Paid Sick leave for each calendar year, which runs from January 1 to December 31. AZ Paid Sick is not an additional bank of hours. Any sick leave you take will be deducted from your existing sick bank.

If on January 1 you have 40 or more hours in your sick bank, that amount will count as your allotment of Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time for that calendar year. If you have fewer than 40 hours in your sick bank on January 1, the Company will credit your sick leave bank to ensure that you have a total of 40 hours available for that year. This total will also be considered your allotment of Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time. Should the Company credit your sick bank with additional hours on January 1, you will be required to “pay back” the credited hours as you accrue paid sick leave under any applicable Company policy or agreement.

For example, if you have 10 hours in your Company paid sick bank on January 1, the Company will add an additional 30 hours to your sick bank, giving you a total of 40 hours. If you accrue 4.5 sick hours in January, then on February 1, you will still have a total of 40 hours available for AZ Paid Sick (not 44.5 hours), assuming you did not take any sick leave in January. Additional hours of paid sick leave will not be added to your sick bank until you have first accrued an amount equal to the hours the Company credited on January 1.

***If your sick call qualifies for conversion to AZ Sick, it will automatically be recoded from SK to MS, and your negative point will be removed.***
