    Association of Professional Flight Attendants 1004 W. Euless Boulevard Euless, Texas 76040 PHONE: (817) 540-0108 FAX: (817) 540-2077 For Immediate Release Contact: February 25, 2010 David Roscow, 703-276-2772 x21 Contract or Job Actions American Airlines Flight Attendants Turn Up the Heat As Another Round of Contract Negotiations Begins Feb. 27 Euless, Texas – Determined to achieve a contract, American Airlines Flight Attendants will turn up the heat on the airline with a series of activities as they begin five days of “lockdown” negotiations with American Airlines at the National Mediation Board (NMB) in Washington on Saturday, Feb. 27. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) and American have been mired in contract negotiations for more than 21 months with little movement on key issues. The company continues to put contracts on the table that increase the more than $2 billion in concessions Flight Attendants have given up since 2003. If no agreement is reached during this session, APFA will ask the NMB to initiate a 30-day cooling-off period – the final step before employees can resort to job actions under the Railway Labor Act. “We still believe we can achieve a deal and we remain committed to the process,” said APFA President Laura Glading. “However, the process includes the responsibility of both sides to bargain fairly. The company simply has not lived up to its part of the bargain. Unless there is a dramatic change, we are poised to do whatever is necessary to get a contract Flight Attendants deserve.” To show their support for union negotiators and put pressure on the company to reach an agreement that improves their wages, benefits and working conditions, Flight Attendants will engage in the following activities: • All Systems Red - Flight Attendants nationwide will wear a red disk with the words “Got Guts” beginning February 26th, the day before negotiations resume.

  • National Transportation Safety Board
    National Transportation Safety Board Airport Runway Accidents, Serious Incidents, Recommendations, and Statistics Deadliest Runway Accidents ● Tenerife, Canary Islands, March 27, 1977 (583 fatalities). The world’s deadliest runway accident occurred on March 27, 1977, when Pan Am (PAA) flight 1736, a Boeing 747, and KLM4805, a Boeing 747, collided on runway 12 at Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 passengers and crew. KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance colliding with PAA1736 that was taxiing on the same runway during instrument meteorological conditions. The Spanish government determined the cause was: “The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection.” ● Lexington, Kentucky, August 27, 2006 (49 fatalities). The deadliest runway accident in the United States occurred on August 27, 2006, at about 0606 eastern daylight time when Comair flight 5191, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19, N431CA, crashed during takeoff from Blue Grass Airport, Lexington, Kentucky. The flight crew was instructed to take off from runway 22 but instead lined up the airplane on runway 26 and began the takeoff roll. The airplane ran off the end of the runway and impacted the airport perimeter fence, trees, and terrain.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT FURIES: IS TITLE VII REALLY THE SOLUTION TO HIRING POLICY PROBLEMS? TONI SCOTT REED I. INTRODUCTION THE HIRING practices for airline flight attendants have changed dramatically over the past twenty years.' Air- lines have modified or abandoned standards based on sex, age, weight, and appearance for numerous reasons. Flight attendants, women's groups, and unions first op- posed airline policies on these standards in the early 1970's. Flight attendants, individually and through un- ions, filed lawsuits alleging discriminatory hiring stan- dards. Many of these early challenges were successful because of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 3 Despite the claims of victory from flight attendant groups and unions, it was not clear whether the courts ac- tually adopted the line of reasoning espoused by those groups for the past two decades. The claims of victory were tainted in various ways.
