Effective May 1, 2018, Section 15.A.6.c. of our Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) will be implemented. This Section of the JCBA provides for training required to return to flight status for Flight Attendants returning to work from a leave of absence. The contract language follows:
When a Flight Attendant is returning to work from a leave of absence and requires training in order to return to flight status, the Company shall make training available within forty-five (45) days of the Flight Attendant’s acknowledgement or notice of return from leave. In the event that the Company does not make training available commencing by the 45th day, the Flight Attendant will be paid as if in active service beginning on the 46th day or the Flight Attendant’s expected date of return, whichever is later.
Until a provision of the JCBA is implemented, flight attendants will continue operating under the provisions of their previous collective bargaining agreements.
