Employee Buses

As published in our February Newsletter there continues to be a petition circulated about the difficulty in using the employee buses. You recently received an email from Base Manager, Maureen Nyquist saying that she had requested the Delta Safety Department review the process. Their findings were that the buses meet the mandated requirements. She also pointed out that the yearly average reported accidents on the buses did not warrant any further action.
Our position continues to be that improvement could be made. Why do they have buses in both DTW and MSP that allow you to roll aboard the bus? They also provide those types of buses for the traveling public here in MEM. Next time you are waiting for the employee bus notice the buses used for Long Term Parking.
In the future please report any accidents that occur to you or anyone you know to your LEC Officers and Memphis Inflight. We believe if they know how many of us are being injured they might have a different view. Download the attached petition, attain signatures and deposit in union box in the crew lounge. Petition

Keep in mind you must be a Purser to serve on the Purser Committee, and AFA will send you to the necessary training to serve on the ASHS Committee. Should you have any questions about any LEC Committee please contact any of your LEC Officers.
