Flight attendants will finally be able to get the same benefits enjoyed by other workers under the Family and Medical Leave Act. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA says it’s happy to see Senate approval of the Airline Flight Crew Family and Medical Leave Act. The bipartisan bill makes it possible now for flight crews to get family medical leave. They faced unusual hurdles under the original law that in many cases blocked them from getting leave.
