When a Worker’s Compensation Physician Addresses a Work Status  

While on an IOD, a worker’s compensation physician must address a work status to the insurance company and American.
Sedgwick and American are aware that Light Duty is not an option for Flight Attendants. Light duty and restricted duty means a Flight Attendant will remain off work until the doctor releases you to full duty without restrictions.

Flight Attendant Certification / Airman Certificate

There is no mandate from the FAA that a Flight Attendant must carry their Flight Attendant Airman Certificate while on duty.

If a Flight Attendant is asked to present it by an FAA Inspector and does not have it on their person,  they will have to supply a copy to the inspector within the time allotted.

It is good practice to carry it with you; however it is not required.  If you need to replace your Flight Attendant Airman Certificate you may do so here.

Where Will You Be Tuesday, November 6^th?

Will you be voting in person on Election Day? Or will you be flying? If so, exercise your right and VOTE EARLY or by absentee ballot.

Early voting is in full swing in most states and there are many toss up races. The difference could be just a few votes. Take a moment to research who is running in your district and what they stand for. By entering your address, you can find out who will be on your ballot and make an informed decision at the polls.

Schedules change and lines on Election Day can be long. Vote early, make sure it counts. Just 13 days until this critical midterm election.
