The Company recognizes Flight Attendant's desire to live in locations other than their base. The company's Commuter Policy is intended to protect registered Flight Attendant Commuters (FACs) from a dependability infraction when unable to report for duty in base upon providing proper notification to Crew Scheduling and submitting documentation. Once registered with the company as a commuter, the Flight Attendant is responsible for reporting to assignments in a timely manner and rested for a full duty period.
A Flight Attendant who commutes must register his/her commuter city with the Company and re-register should the Flight Attendant’s base and or commuter status change. Flight Attendants may commute from sister cities that are within 180 miles of their primary commuter city. The commuter city may not be changed more than three times per year unless authorized by Inflight Management.
Some Flight Attendants believe they have registered as a Commuter by informing Initial Training that they were going to commute, but that is for Training to set the IOE pairing and flight to base or home after INIT. To register, you would submit your registration in writing to satisfy the CBA written requirement by logging into your CATS, the steps are also found in FACT.
