Inflight Announces CQ Rebalancing
United's Inflight Services Weekly (ISW) email on January 25th announced the need to “rebalance” the CQ Due months of some Flight Attendants based in EWR, IAD, ORD, SFO and LAX. We hear your frustration of another change to your CQ Due month. We urge Members to review the communication to determine if you may be affected by the additional change. Affected training DUE months include: NOV 2023 DEC 2023 FEB 2024 MAR 2024 APR 2024 MAY 2024 JUN 2024.
As a reminder, CQ training is on an 18-month schedule. Flight Attendants can check your CQ DUE month on CCS> Training Tab> Training Qualifications. The CQ Preference re-bid window will open in March. The following months and seniority levels are the approximate seniorities that could be affected - OCT 2023 (1999-2022); NOV 2023 (1997-2022); FEB 2024 (2008-2022); MAR 2024 (2007-2022); APR 2024 (1983-2022); MAY 2024 (2011-2022); JUN 2024 (1999-2022).

The CBT module for CQ is due January 29th, 2359 CT or 2159 Pacific. Failure to complete this module may result in a non-qualified status (NQ) which requires additional CBTs as well as NQ training. Flight Attendants will become non-qualified on 0001 CT Feb 1, 2023 if any portion of the CBTs are not complete and have their February schedule removed without pay protection. The CQ CBTs are a mandatory part of the CQ curriculum to retain Flight Attendant qualifications. Be aware a scheduled outage of TakeOff Learning will take place tonight, Friday January 27th from 2100 - 2230 PST. Make a plan to ensure you don't miss this deadline. If you have any questions, please contact the Council 11 AFA office.
