Looks like the recall list is going to get a bit shorter!
From the APFA Hotline:
Hello. This is Liz Geiss, National Communications Coordinator, with the APFA Hotline for Friday, June 11th, 2004.
As was reported on this hotline on Wednesday, the company has announced the recall of 233 Flight Attendants, effective July 1st, 2004. The company's decision was based on our Flight Attendant headcount, expected levels of flying, and attrition. The junior most Flight Attendant receiving a recall letter has a hire date of August 3, 2000. A list of the employee numbers of those Flight Attendants being recalled is posted on the opening page of the APFA Web site under "Flight Attendant Recall Information".
The company mailed recall packets to those Flight Attendants being recalled on June 9th, 2004. Responses must be completed and received by the company by June 19th, 2004. Failure to respond to the recall notice by that date will result in forfeiture of recall rights. The recall packet contains information such as training requirements, report to base dates, schedules, and more. All affected Flight Attendants will be sent to LGA. These Flight Attendants will serve a 90 day lock-in at the LGA base. Also, the company has built buffer into the 233 recalls. What this means is that if all 233 Flight Attendants on this recall list do not accept reemployment, the company will not offer recalls to additional Flight Attendants.
The APFA is very pleased to be welcoming back to the line these 233 members from furlough.
