Narrative:

The management at tpa ATCT instituted a new procedure at tpa; commonly referred to as the bridge. Aircraft overfly tpa international airport at altitudes between 2100 ft and 4000 ft. The problem is; they didn't brief the entire workforce before instituting the procedure. I was working in the tower as cabin attendant coordinator; and observed a king air execute a missed approach. As I was not briefed on the new procedure; I could have easily coordinated a missed approach that would have conflicted with aircraft in the bridge. This lack of ensuring that everyone has been informed of the new work rules could have easily caused a midair collision.
