Summer is mere weeks away, and there are a number of crew members who are debuting their in-flight careers on reserve (a warm welcome to our new Flight Attendants) or are back on reserve for the first time in a long time, be it due to temporary base transfers to Montréal, due to becoming Service Directors (congratulations to our newest Service Directors), or due to senior crew members taking their summer vacation. We anticipate an uptick in reserve-related questions, so we’d like to introduce ourselves and provide some updates regarding the Reserve Committee.
Upcoming Reserve Seminars on Zoom
We are happy to announce that the next reserve seminars explaining the “how-to” of reserve and your contractual rights will be conducted on June 5, 2025 at 09:00h Pacific Time / 12:00h Eastern Time and on June 10, 2025 at 09:00h Pacific Time / 12:00h Eastern Time via Zoom. The initial presentation will last approximately 60-80 minutes and then there will be an open question period at the end of the presentation for everyone’s mutual benefit. All members are welcome to attend. The meeting links are as follows:
