 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the Senate on November 10, 2009. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act - Amends the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 with respect to the hours-of-service requirement airline flight crews must meet to be eligible for leave under such Act.

Declares that a flight attendant or flight crewmember will be considered to meet such requirement if he or she has worked or been paid for: (1) at least 60% of the applicable total monthly guarantee, or the equivalent for the previous 12-month period for or by the employer with respect to whom such leave is requested; and (2) a minimum of 504 hours (not counting personal commute time spent on vacation leave or medical or sick leave) during such period.

Authorizes the Secretary of Labor to provide, by regulation, a method for calculating such leave for airline flight crews.
