[Pre-Merger UAL] CCS Login
S-UA Flight Attendants now have access to the Crew Communication System (CCS). In its end state, CCS will serve as a portal to access scheduling, pairing, and crew information and applications that matter to all United Airlines flight attendants in their daily work.
CCS is currently the central access point for all S-CO and CMI crewmembers, and will eventually be the central access point for all S-UA crewmembers. CCS was selected as the end-state system for United Flight Attendants due to its user-friendly and communications-driven interface.
CCS functionality will be introduced to S-UA flight attendants in a phased approach. Hotel gainsharing request is the first functionality on CCS that will be made available to S-UA Flight Attendants.
Please take this time to log in to CCS via https://ccs.ual.com while connected to the internet. You can also access CCS using this URL via your Link device or click on the CCS icon on the desktop of any computer in your base.
A CCS login user guide is available for S-UA Flight Attendants. S-UA Flight Attendants will need to login to CCS in order request hotel gainsharing when it becomes available.

Please contact your assigned Gallagher Bassett adjuster, and they will assist you in setting up the process.

Commuter Program Introduction (Section 28)
Later this month, we will align Flight Attendant Commuter Program parameters in accordance with Section 28 of the Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The Commuter Program establishes standards when unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances preclude Flight Attendants from reporting as scheduled. The program covers those who commute to their Base by automobile, bus, train, public surface transportation and United and United Express flights.
If a flight attendant will be precluded from reporting for an assignment as scheduled, then she/he must contact Crew Scheduling as soon as possible. In the case of certain events, such as unforeseen weather events or mechanical failures, the Commuter Program sets clear expectations for actions to be taken by the flight attendant, Crew Scheduling and the flight attendant’s Base.
The full program can be found here. We will provide additional information over the next few weeks.
