"What facts matter before I ask about this contract issue?"
Many flight attendant contract searches begin with a rushed question: Can scheduling do this? Do I get paid? Am I protected? Those are real questions, but search engines and contract tools work better when the facts are organized first.
Search by situation, then verify by citation
A good search might include your airline, work group, and issue: reserve assignment, reassignment, deadhead, sick leave, attendance points, junior assignment, pay protection, trip trade, or cancellation. Once you find the topic, the next step is verifying the exact section.
Timing changes everything
Flight attendant agreements often distinguish between before report, after report, after origination, on a day off, on reserve, or after release. Include those timing facts when you ask SkyGuide so the answer can line up with the correct contract language.
Bring the before-and-after details
For trip changes, keep the original sequence, revised sequence, notification time, report time, release time, and any message from scheduling. Those details help separate a general explanation from a contract-specific answer.
Know the limit of a guide
A guide can help you understand what to look for. A cited answer can help you review the language. Official union support is still the right path for disputes, deadlines, discipline, safety issues, or anything that requires representation.
SkyGuide is an educational contract-assistance tool. It can help you find and understand contract language, but it does not replace union representatives, legal advice, or official dispute processes.
