Refresher; Sick Leave Bank usage & AFA Agreement with Inflight Management
Horizon Air (QX) has agreed to an interim measure that significantly protects Flight Attendants' employment records:
- No Discipline for Sick Leave Use: During the period before a new contract (CBA) is ratified, QX will not assess "occurrences" (disciplinary action) for any absences where a Flight Attendant uses sick leave from their bank.
- Retroactive Occurrence Removal: Flight Attendants in Boise (BOI) and Anchorage (ANC) who reached a disciplinary level due to past absences that would have been protected for Oregon (OR) or Washington (WA) Flight Attendants should now have those occurrences retroactively removed.
In short: continued protection against discipline for using sick leave is in effect, and past occurrences for BOI and ANC Flight Attendants should have already been retroactively removed. This is a critical gain that safeguards job security while full PSL provisions are being negotiated.

October Contract Negotiations not to be held - Management declines
The federal government is still shut down. This means that our federal mediator will not be able to meet with AFA and management next week as scheduled. We asked management if they would be willing to meet without the mediator to keep things moving.
