FA needs some help.

[kman]

My girlfriend just received a missed assignment for calling fatigued. Anybody know what sections of the far's to reference? any other suggestion are welcomed. Thanks

Which company? Does she have a union?

 

[Oh-ryan]

Because someone has to say it (and I am a pig):

Why was she so fatigued?

 

[kman]

eagle, yes, and the union rep isn't being very helpful.

 

[AA717driver]

Well, it's AMR and it's a F/A union. What'd you expect? TC

FARs for Flight Attendants?

Ugh... think again.


Just because the now have an "Airman Certificate" don't go thinking there are FARs for duty, etc. Just training I suspect.

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

Dude, help out she/he came for help not sh!t.

I think the only recourse is with the Union, sorry.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Not trying to be Captain Obvious here, or anything...but FAR 121.467 is your F/A duty time section. I didn't read it and know nothing about F/A work rules, so I have no clue if there's anything in there that will help you...

There are no fatigue rules for FAs. The FA should just call out sick and use an occurance.

 

[BoeingBaller]

Puck em. Whats the worst that can happen.He/She gets another FA job that pays better.

For pilots who work in the industry, you really don't know too much, do you?

Gee, let me think. How many time have I called in fatgiued as a f/a. Zero, maybe its because I have never been an f/a. Did I mention that airplanes fly better with out f/a s.

The FA needs to sit down with the Director of Inflight and the Director of Operations and explain the situation. If the FA was scheduled incorrectly, or they are short, maybe this needs to be brought up as a safety of flight issue. Calling off "fatigued" isn't usually an FA option depending on the contract.

Calling in fatigued IS an Option. Not sure of the reg # but it says something to the effect that You will not show up as a "crewmember" unfit to fly. and if You are too fatigued to safely operate as a crewmember then you are obligated to call inn for safety reasons. it is the same section where it talks about drinking and medication .

Come on, she works for Eagle...they do not care cuz they can hire another f/a at the mall.

At Eagle, do not call in fatigued AT ALL EVER....if you are a f/a. Call in sick. If she was still on probation that is a bad thing and the union can't help.
