I have a friend who is a flight attendant at Frontier. They may be moving toward having a flight attendant union--probably an in-house union similar to AA.
She is researching various flight attendant contracts. She doesn't know anyone at CO; so, she asked me to post this here.
At Continental:
1. Is part-time flying allowed? At AA, the answer is not exactly. All lines are minimum 70 hours, but you are allowed to drop trips.
2. Do you have part-time lines on the bidsheet? If so, how many hours/days do they average? (approximate) At AA, we used to have p-t lines, but no more.
3. Is there a minimum number of hours you have to fly in a month to get company-paid benefits? How is it tracked?
For instance, at AA we have to fly an average of 35 hours a month with a 12-month rolling "lookback." In other words, each month, they look back 12 months. If you do not have a minimum of 420 hours of flying over that 12 month period, in order to maintain your medical insurance the next month, you have to pay both your portion and the company's portion of the premium. In addition, you do not get vacation and pension credit for the next month.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
