The Union Requests Information from Continental Flight Attendants

Recently the union has been made aware of incidents with galley coffee makers in which Continental Flight Attendants have received serious burns. If you or anyone you are aware of has had such an incident, please notify your base grievance representatives and provide them the details of the incident.

One Time Change to Travel Companion

Based on employee feedback regarding the new Extended Family Buddy policy, co-workers will have a one-time opportunity, in 2009 only, to change their travel companion.

Co-workers who want to enroll a new travel companion may do so by logging in to “All About Me” > “Pass Riders.” The travel companion election period will be open for 90 days beginning June 24, and will end Sept. 29. The newly elected travel companion will remain in effect until removed by the employee.

The new travel companion will become effective for travel within one to three business days after enrollment. Co-workers are required to cancel any future reservations for their removed travel companion.

For more information see Insidecoair > “News and Events” > “Travel Companion FAQ.” Any questions, please contact Tammy Holt (IAH) 281-553-1646
