APFA and AFA are pleased to announce another big step on our way to combining the Flight Attendant groups of the new American Airlines. The Flight Attendant integrated seniority list, in accordance with the APFA/AFA Seniority Integration Protocol Agreement (SIPA) is finished and available for viewing on the APFA website. As a reminder, in accordance with the SIPA, the relative order of each respective carrier’s Flight Attendants is unchanged.
 
Prior to integrating the two lists, APFA and AFA agreed in the SIPA that Legacy American Airlines (LAA) Flight Attendants would have an adjustment to their Occupational (bidding) Seniority date, since that date is currently based on the first day those Flight Attendants were placed on payroll. At US Airways, on the other hand, Flight Attendants’ Seniority Integration Date (SID), aka bidding date, was based on their first day of training. Because of this difference between the construction of the two lists, LAA Flight Attendants hired before January 1, 2013, received a 40-day adjustment to their current Occupational Seniority date prior to the integration of the lists. LAA Flight Attendants hired on or after January 1, 2013, had their Occupational Seniority date adjusted to their first date of New Hire training. In cases where more than one LAA and pre-merger US Airways (LUS) Flight Attendant had the same seniority date, the relative position on that date was determined based on date of birth. In the event more than one LAA and LUS Flight Attendant had the same seniority date and birth date, the relative seniority was based on the last 4 digits of Social Security Numbers arranged lowest to highest.
 
Some Flight Attendants are not in birth order on their respective seniority dates. For example, at America West, the original relative order was based on a variety of factors including total time with the company as well as time spent as a Flight Attendant. In later years, company transfers were placed at the top of their class ahead of other classmates that might be older. With regard to these situations, the relative order of each list, based on previous integration, has been preserved.
 
The integrated seniority list reflects reinstatements and adjustments at both carriers through July 1, 2014. Attrition from LAA is through July 1 and attrition for LUS is through July 31. New hire Flight Attendants are reflected for both carriers through July 31, 2014. Attrition from the LUS Flight Attendants leaving in the fall due to the last two departure dates of their VEOP is not reflected on this integrated list. These Flight Attendants will be removed from the list following their actual last day on payroll. 
 
It will still be some time before we are actually integrated and bidding using the integrated list. Flight Attendants will first need to achieve a joint contract and American must receive a Single Operating Certificate from the FAA. In addition, we will need to be incorporated into a single crew management system (FOS).
 
We encourage our members to review the list to see your new Occupational Seniority date and your placement on the new list. Should you believe there is an administrative error with your date or placement on the list please send an email with the reasons detailing why you believe there is an error to [email protected]. The deadline to send an email is September 9, 2014.
