AA flight attendants should be lauded for fighting meanwhile we raised the white flag on this issue. Our "contract" only legitimized the Dependability Policy. The "Commuter Policy", even if followed, still results in data usable against you via the Dependability Policy. For example, if you have an emergency, that incident is still usable against you with the Dependability Policy.... read both and see for yourself. The Commuter Policy, even if followed, does not insulate you from the Dependability Policy. If you ever do something by mistake that makes BJ look bad, or you otherwise get on their bad side, you will be "terminated with cause" because every little infraction goes into your secret folder and you cannot contest it. ALPA will claim that you may be fired, but they will always get you re-hired. This doesn't change the fact that you will forever have a stain on your record for eternity, making it hard to ever get employment at any other respectable company. The Dependability Policy has no published rules. It is a tool by management, for management, to use when they want to get rid of someone. This is a HUGE failure of the people who we trusted to write the contract. They will give all kinds of excuses but in the end, everything is negotiable -- except for governmental laws and the laws of physics.
