I along with some of LAX’s great BCRs are currently working on a Reserve Quick Reference Guide to help you quickly access information we most often need on Reserve.

With feedback from SCMs (Senior Crew Managers), there has been a spike in FAs not acknowledging their reserve assignments after ROTA runs. Remember, if you received a sequence or standby through ROTA, you must acknowledge by 10:30 PM Home Bast Time (HBT) (unless you are flying – in this case you have until 1 hour after release). Find more information HERE!
Find out who your new SCM (Senior Crew Manager), PCM (Performance Crew Manager) and CAM (Crew Attendance Manager) on Crew Portal(click on your name and see the drop down).

It is important to me you always feel you have a voice. I have created a “Bookable” time if you would like to connect with me for a 1-1 chat about whatever you like. This is your time. Book a time HERE.
