I was just curious about the major differences between our contract and the contract/rules that govern the F/N's. I know pretty little regarding how they operate. I do know that they have seperate reserve lists for pursers. Do they do reserve on the same rotation as we do? Or are they straight reserve? I am looking for any and all interesting comparisions. I am just curious.

The F/N's have a separate scheduling department, the only time schedulers at SOC talk to them are when they are downline and talking to tracking.

The F/N Do not have actual scghedulers. They have planners at their respective airports. Their trips average 6 days in lenght. They deal mostly with trackling and zFlight Service but other than That I am not sure

Oh Wow. That was bad huh? It was a super quick post before I ran out the door. Not sure what was going through my mind. Guess not to much at the time. OH well. C'est la vie.

IORFA,
From the little I do know, it seems there is a different contract for each FN base.
While I was still an agent in MIA, BOG was in negotiations.
Whenever we had a problem with a FN crew, we dealt with the LAM (Latin American) coordinator, never flight service.
My guess is that the LAM coordinators served as the FN's FSMs in MIA. It was a big deal if they were called to the gate.
We have 2 former SCL FNs in STL, I'll ask about the SCL contract and FN RSV next time I see one of them.
There were a few FN with dual-citizenship who crossed over to AA during the last hiring round. They had their own training class due to their training requirements. They did have to get new employee numbers but I'm not sure if they carried over SK/VC accrual.
One of the former FN in STL told me she regretted coming over to our side because of quality of life differences. We make more money (at 4 years, I made more than a 12 year LIM purser) but as a FN, she had a huge apartment in SCL with a maid, was flying better international trips, and AA took care of her dry-cleaning and transportation to and from SCL.
