Message from the Airline: Flight Attendants - Easter Weekend Sick Calls
As the Easter weekend approaches, we are seeing a significant spike in open time once again. As a result, the Company will continue to closely review all Flight Attendant sick calls occurring this weekend (April 14, 15 & 16). The Company will follow-up with individual Flight Attendants and, at a minimum, require medical documentation in situations where the Company determines a pattern, or other indications of sick leave abuse, exist.
Basically fly sick or we will fire you.
Ahhhh, such a positive message our airline has. Total respect for its front line employees.
And remember, pilots...dont eat food from the delay kit. Oh those tasty treats.

Well I'm glad I got the chance to fly down there. I was disappointed when I heard the news but knew it was probably going to happen.

I was disappointed to see us get a health care package that was less than the FAs, not about losing Havana.
Has the "new plane smell" worn off for you yet at this place?

Yes I care about our health care, and getting our contract that we deserve. I was just simply pointing out that I'm sad to see that route go.
I guess I still have new plane smell...

Thankfully the majority of FOs I fly with care as little as I do these days, and don't spend time upset about the 4 hour turn we lost to Havana.
Play a game with me. Hypothetical to show where I'm at and see where you're at.
You have a button in front of you, hit that button and 50% of our flights cancel today for lack of crews and the company has to deal with the fallout, upset passengers and lost money.
I hit that button, do you?
