Anticipated Schedule For Implementation of Provisions and Improvements
United Flight Attendants have overwhelmingly voted to ratify our Tentative Agreement which now becomes our new Contract. We will begin seeing some of the exciting improvements to our Contract take effect immediately, while others will require time to integrate into United’s schedule planning process or require automation for implementation.
We have worked with United to produce a timeline of the anticipated implementation of new Contractual provisions to go into effect. Keep in mind that we are planning on this schedule as of now, the timing of certain items may be subject to change.
The following is the anticipated schedule to implement provisions from our 2012-2016 Contract:

Print Out, Share, Discuss, Don’t Just Forward
As a Member of the Flight Attendant Negotiations Network you are the first to get information from our negotiations and the information you receive is above and beyond what is posted publicly. We encourage you to print out these FANN Updates and share them with your flying partners. Do not give them the printed copy of your FANN Newsletter to take away with them, but instead invite them to sign up for the FANN to get their own update.
These updates are intended for members of the FANN only. They should not be posted, copied or redistributed. Use the information for your face-to-face discussions as opposed to posting or forwarding these messages. This is a particularly important practice as we get further along in our negotiations. We have an advantage when we discuss face-to-face. |
