Attn JFK flight attendants JFK-GIG

[eolesen]

It's hard not to be about cost first.

Assuming... 12 additional rooms x 363 days (assuming 9 FA's and 3 pilots and cancellations for Christmas Eve and New Years Eve).

That's over 4,350 additional room nights, at somewhere between $50 and $75/night, coming out to $216K to 326K.

There's also probably another $150K or so in TAFB, plus generally longer drives to/from the long layover hotel, adding incrementally to the transportation cost.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out to $500K a year to extend the trip by a day. Probably not out of the question to justify in the name of QWL, but that program died 15 years ago.... 😉

Pilots don't do the "rockets".

The JFK-GIG trip is on the November bidsheet scheduled as a nice long 33 hour layover for the crews to enjoy Brazil in the summertime. I luckily held it as an R2 replacement! Makes me love my job even more.

Pilots don't do the "rockets".

You mean "bullets"?

How do the pilots' contract compare to the FA contract when it comes to minimum rest time?

 

[IORFA]

No, I mean "rockets". Here at AA we fly rockets, not bullets.

No, I mean "rockets". Here at AA we fly rockets, not bullets.

At IMA we have the BA bullet.

Jason Davis the NE Regional Manager is not going to make this a good layover. He hates flight attendants and could careless what happens. His bonus is paid on how little he spends for the base and other items. He is a joke and kissed JT's a** to get his job. I will spit on him, next time I see him. I hate this guy more than any human on earth!

I see some anger management sessions in your future. Maybe some forum moderator management might be a good first step. Jeez.
