| A. | General |
| 1. | The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, the city at which the satellite base test will be conducted and to which crew base city the satellite base is linked. The Company will provide written notification to the President of APFA once the satellite base test city has been selected. |
| 2. | The Company will determine, and on a month-by-month basis, the number of trip selections that originate from the satellite base. It is understood that the Company may determine in any particular month to offer no selections originating from the satellite base. |
| 3. | At any time, the Company or APFA may unilaterally terminate this agreement by providing written notice to the other party. In the event this agreement is terminated, the Company will cease using any satellite base no later than one month following the written notice of termination. Once this agreement is so terminated, all of its obligations under this letter of agreement will cease in all respects. |
| 4. | This agreement shall not serve, nor be cited, as a precedent with regard to any other matter including current or future discussions or agreements concerning existing, proposed, or future satellites, co-terminals, or crew bases. |
| B. | Eligibility for Trip Selection Awards and Assignments |
| 1. | All active Flight Attendants in an active bid status who are based at the crew base city to which the satellite base is linked may bid for the trip selection(s) that originate from the satellite base. |
| 2. | Flight Attendants awarded a trip selection originating from the satellite base shall be responsible for their own transportation to and from the satellite base, without exception. |
| 3. | A Flight Attendant who fails to submit a trip selection bid or who fails to bid for a sufficient number of selections shall not be assigned a satellite base trip selection. |
| C. | Regular Schedule Trip Selections All satellite base trip sequences will originate and terminate at the satellite base city with no allocated ground deadhead as either the first or last segment of the sequence. |
| 206 |
| D. | Reserve Selections The Company will not schedule reserve selections assigned to the satellite base. |
| E. | Relief Trip Selections Relief trip selections shall be constructed in the normal manner using satellite open sequences before using other base sequences. |
| F. | Low Bid Lines at the Satellite Base The Company may use flying from another base to supplement low bid lines at the satellite base. |
| G. | Filling of Open Time |
| 1. | Satellite open time will be filled in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.L. of the AA/APFA Agreement. An open sequence will require a deadhead (including a surface deadhead) to and from the satellite base at the beginning and end of the sequence if such open sequence is involuntarily assigned to the Flight Attendant (e.g., reserve assignment). Flight Attendants who are awarded a satellite open sequence shall be responsible for their own transportation to and from the satellite base (e.g., make-up, availability self-plot, etc.). |
| H. | Trip Trades |
| 1. | Flight Attendants who are awarded or assigned trip selections originating from the satellite base may use all the provisions of the Trip Trade with Open Time system, including trades involving sequences originating from the satellite base. |
| 2. | Flight Attendants who are awarded or assigned trip selections originating from the satellite base may trip trade with other Flight Attendants at the same crew base, including trades involving sequences originating from the satellite base. |
| 3. | Flight Attendants who trade for or pick-up sequences originating from the satellite base, shall be responsible for their own transportation to and from the satellite base. |
| 4. | In no case will a Flight Attendant holding a trip selection at the satellite base be permitted to drop such trips into Open Time. |
| I. | Administrative Support / Parking |
| 1. | For purposes of employee parking provided in Article 30, Letter-III, the satellite base shall not be considered the Flight Attendants base city. The Company will provide parking at either the crew base city, satellite base or the American Airlines/American Eagle station of the Flight Attendants choice. In no case will the Company be required to provide parking that exceeds the scope of the parking provisions contained in Article 30, Letter-III. |
| 207 |
| 2. | The Company will continue to provide administrative support (e.g., Flight Attendant company mailboxes, access to manual revisions, etc.) at the crew base only, and in no case will the Company be required to provide administrative support of any kind at a satellite base. |
