Listen "Union Break Episode #19 With Julie Pearson Chairperson of Benefits "
Episode Synopsis
This week on Union Break, we dive into one of the hottest year-end topics: the 480 TFP requirement. Julie Pearson, Chair of the Benefits Committee, joins us to explain what the 480 means, how it impacts flight attendants’ health insurance, vacation, and uniform allowance, and the key differences between the soft 480 (for benefits) and the hard 480 (for vacation). We also cover the 240 TFP provision, the importance of planning ahead, and the new 25% vacation credit boost in the latest contract. If you’ve ever been confused about how your TFP affects your benefits, this episode breaks it down step by step.
