FLT ATTENDANT RPT REGARDING FALSE ACCUSATION OF ALCOHOLIC INTAKE WITHIN TIME FRAME FOR FLT.

Narrative

AS A FLT ATTENDANT; DURING A LAYOVER ON JAN/XX/94; I WAS ACCUSED; FALSELY; BY A CREW SCHEDULER; OF DRINKING ALCOHOL WITHIN THE COMPANY PRESCRIBED 12 HR LIMIT. THIS FALSE ACCUSATION CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION BTWN THE CREW SCHEDULER AND THE FIRST FLT ATTENDANT OF MY CREW; WHICH TOOK PLACE AFTER XA00 THE MORNING OF JAN/XX/94. APPARENTLY; THE SCHEDULER MISUNDERSTOOD THE FIRST FLT ATTENDANT REGARDING MY HAVING A DRINK EARLIER ON THE LAYOVER - WELL WITHIN LEGALITIES FOR MY ORIGINAL FLT ASSIGNMENT. THE FIRST FLT ATTENDANT ATTEMPTED TO CLARIFY HERSELF TO THE SCHEDULER; HOWEVER HE WOULD NOT ACCEPT ANY CLARIFICATION AND DECIDED TO MAKE HIS OWN INTERP OF THE SIT. THE SCHEDULER ALSO TRIED TO 'MAKE A DEAL' WITH THE FIRST FLT ATTENDANT IN ORDER TO COVER A FLT - PROPOSING THAT IF OUR CREW WOULD FLY ILLEGALLY; HE WOULD DROP THE WHOLE DRINKING ISSUE REGARDING ME. THE FIRST FLT ATTENDANT EXPLAINED THAT IF WE FLEW THE EARLIER TRIP THAT THE SCHEDULER NEEDED TO COVER; THAT WE WOULD BE VIOLATING FARS; SO SHE TOLD HIM WE COULD NOT MAKE ANY DEAL. SO; HE MAINTAINED HIS FALSE ACCUSATION AGAINST ME REGARDING DRINKING WITHIN THE 12 HR LIMIT.
