9.29.25 – APFA PHX Base Brief – FAA Inspections/Onboard Food Consumption

Monday, September 29, 2025

FAA Inspections

Over the last two weeks, the FAA has been showing up on AA flights to check a Flight Attendant’s knowledge of new IFM updates, the EFB for compliance and power status, and all mandatory items. Systemwide, a few Flight Attendants were sent home for missing mandatory items.

So that PHX FAs will not face the same fate, we would like to review our mandatory items:

• Valid Passport and documents (including visas if required)
• AA ID
• Powered on and charged EFB with updated IFM in the Comply365 App.
• Working flashlight (Personal PED and EFB flashlights are not acceptable)
• Wristwatch
• Company keys (737 and the new suite key)

Before starting each sequence, Flight Attendants should review all relevant updates to the IFM and familiarize themselves with any new information.

Reminder: Onboard Food Consumption

In case you missed it, the company recently sent out a CCI message with the following information:

If you choose to consume or remove perishable items to enjoy on a layover, please follow these key guidelines:

• Flight Attendants may consume or remove remaining perishable items (e.g., sandwiches, fruit & cheese, milk, smoothies) after landing.
• You may remove perishable items for mid-sequence or layover consumption. Includes: Sandwiches, fruit & cheese, milk, smoothies. Excludes: Items double-provisioned for downline segments, non-perishable items (like snack basket items, Tray Table Tapas, and other packaged snacks), unopened beverages, alcohol, and all catering equipment and dishware.
• All perishable items intended for crew consumption must be recorded in MyFlight using the Crew Intended Consumption comp code.

In Solidarity,
