The April 1, 2014, Voluntary Furlough bidding is now open.  Bidding will remain open until January 8, 2014 at 0800 Central Time.  All active and inactive Flight Attendants, including those currently on Voluntary Furlough, are eligible to bid for the new Voluntary Furlough; and must submit a bid to be eligible to be awarded a Voluntary Furlough.

Bidding for the Partnership Program 11 is also open and will close on January 13, 2014 at 0800 Central Time.

The Voluntary Furlough offers schedule flexibility and maintenance of some benefits, with a return to work after the Voluntary Furlough period and may be a good option for Members to take advantage of scholastic opportunities, travel or time with family.  The Partnership Program also allows for a more flexible schedule, while you continue flying and additional time off to pursue other areas of interest in your life.

For additional information, please contact your Local Council Office and check our websitefor updated Voluntary Furlough information.  If you are interested in bidding for a Voluntary Furlough please refer to the Voluntary Furlough Information Packet, dated November 18, 2013, and read it carefully.
