Transcon service standard is full beverage (pour cup) with push pull buy on board meals. Collect trash. Water and coffee (hydration service). Then full service again prior to landing. This is on flights scheduled for 3.5 hrs or more.

Hi everyone. Attached is a link of what happened when America West was organizing with AFA back in 1999. I urge you all to watch this as management is keeping an eye on this link to see how many hits it gets. Can anyone say deja vu? Get involved and get informed. The stronger we are the...

US Airways Flight Attendants picketed in front of CHQ today sending a message that they have had enough, that 5 years of stalled contract negotiations and concessionary proposals is unacceptable. Toward the end of the picket the group moved into a public area on the east side of the building...

Im surprised to not hear of any news from media day of the Flight Attendants that picketed outside of Rio Dorito today. Tempe police were called and could do nothing about the protest disturbing the executive lunch in the courtyard due to the picket line being on public property.

I say bring back the Navy blue paint job... or a metallic silver like the old US Air planes were. I know the Airbus aircraft can't be bare but we still have our Boeings that can fly around naked. Does anyone have an airplane strip pole?

She is running and should be a shoe in! She doesn't take any crap. If anyone would like to see her in action then check out past PHX crew news sessions. Not to say that other union leaders haven't participated in crew news sessions but Deb shows up MF like Cher performing at the Celine Dion...

Just noticed that the 757 we were supposed to get from North American is now going to Air Jamaica. Anyone know whats up with this? http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b757-32448.htm

All of the America West planes have been painted. You will however see 2 AWA heritage A319's. They have begun further interior mods to change out the old bulkheads on the Airbus a/c. West 757's have received full interior mods and you should not see the old carpet on the walls any longer...

Bear in mind that Council 66 in PHX is up for re-election. I stay informed both East and West and if any of you watch Crew News we should all support our colleagues in PHX in the upcoming elections. Stay united!

You all need to grow up! This has been going on long enough! Pee on each other's legs. mark your territory, or do whats necessary and move on! Nothing will change and what was determined in the Nic will stand. Mergers are mergers and sorry for the people who do not benefit frome them. I...

The uniforms are horrible. I wear it and to tell you the truth, the men's options are designed for a larger person (ie. the stretch comfort waistband, polyspandex fabric, high rise waist that makes it possible to pull them up to my chest). In order for me to get mine to fit properly and...

Actually it was the old style lap belts and shoulder harnesses. The buckle just wasn't the standard seatbelt. I was on a 319. And I totally agree that if you need an extension then you need a diet as well. I have worked with many people that have to buckle their seatbelt as if they were...

I just worked on 2 separate Airbus aircraft that had a different style buckle that would not accomodate a seatbelt extension. I am wondering if they are being replaced so that an extension cannot be used?

This varies between PMAW and PMUS CBA's. If you fall under the PMUS contract, you may non-rev as long as you are on paid status by the company... if you have been out over 6 months and your salary continuance has expired then your term pass is deactivated until you return to active status...
