 4. Obligation. A Flight Attendant whose schedule conflict has been eliminated in accordance with paragraphs 2. or 3. above shall have no further obligation to the Company. However, s/he may be subject to assignment under the provisions of paragraph 9.L. of this Article.
| 5. Access to Open Time
a. Pre-plotting. A Flight Attendant with a schedule conflict shall be eligible for "pre-plotting" subject to the eligibility provisions of paragraph K. of this Article if his/her pay projection is below his/her monthly guarantee following the elimination of the schedule conflict as provided in paragraph 2. and 3. above.
b. Trip Trading with Open Time. A Flight Attendant with a schedule conflict may, if eligible, utilize the provisions of Article 25.C. of this Agreement.
c. Effect on Monthly Maximum. In determining eligibility to pre-plot and/or trip trade with open time, flight time credit resulting from a schedule conflict "carry-over" trip sequence shall not be considered when computing a Flight Attendant's monthly maximum, provided such Flight Attendant has exercised the provisions of Article 7.C., Option I, or Article 7.D., Option II.
6. Effect on Monthly Guarantee
a. Trip Trades/Schedule Conflict Trip Drops. Trip trades below the applicable monthly guarantee in accordance with paragraph 2. above, or Schedule Conflict Trip Drops into Open Time in accordance with paragraphs 2. or 3. above shall be subject to the provisions of Article 25.G. of this Agreement for purposes of monthly guarantee reduction.
b. Paid Absences. A Flight Attendant who has a schedule conflict and who has not otherwise reduced his/her monthly guarantee at any time during or for the contractual month in which the schedule conflict occurs, shall be pay protected to his/her applicable monthly guarantee provided:
|
| | (d) and provided, that such Flight Attendant attempted, but was unable to make-up the hours lost as a result of the schedule conflict on all unscheduled days off, excluding duty-free periods. |
7. Notwithstanding the procedures above, any Flight Attendant is subject to assignment in accordance with the Order of Open Time, Article 9.L.
J. OPEN TIME LISTS
Make-Up flying and Option II Lists will be maintained at each crew base. Their purpose is to record the names of all Flight Attendants who are interested in performing such flying, so that Crew Schedule may proffer to these Flight Attendants open flying which develops at the base.
| 1. Make-Up List/Option II List
a. Eligibility. All Flight Attendants at the base are eligible to request open flying. A Flight Attendant's eligibility to be awarded open flying will depend upon his/her relative position in the Order of Open Time Coverage, seniority, and ability to handle such an assignment without conflict with the balance of his/her schedule and without exceeding contractual limitations.
b. Preference. A Flight Attendant who places his/her name on the Make-Up or Option II List indicates the dates s/he desires such flying.
c. Obligation. When a Flight Attendant places his/her name on the Make-Up or Option II List and, as a result, is proffered a trip sequence which s/he does not desire to accept, s/he is under no obligation to accept the assignment. Crew Schedule need make only one attempt to contact the Flight Attendant on the Make-Up/Option II List. If no contact can be established, the trip may be proffered to the next name on the Make-Up/Option II List or otherwise handled as open time. |
2. Sick Make-Up. A Flight Attendant may request to fly sick leave make-up trips. Trips flown under this provision may not interfere with a Flight Attendant's regularly scheduled trips or reserve availability. A Flight Attendant desiring to perform sick make-up flying should place his/her name on the Sick Time Make-Up List, maintained at each base and indicate the days on which s/he desires such flying. A Flight Attendant proffered a sick time make-up trip is under no obligation to accept the assignment. Crew Schedule need make only one attempt to contact the Flight Attendant on the Sick Time Make-Up List. If no contact can be established, the trip may be proffered to the next name on the Sick Time Make-Up List or otherwise handled as open time. Sick leave accrual shall be restored to the extent of the number of hours flown. The number of hours that may be flown on sick leave make-up shall not exceed the number of hours used on paid sick leave since the time of original employment. Flight time credit earned shall not apply towards the monthly limitation. The opportunity to make up sick time will not be limited to the month(s) in which the sick instance occurred.
K. ACCESS TO OPEN TIME - PRE-PLOTTING
A Flight Attendant with AVBL days or a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant who has involuntarily lost flight time pay and credit shall, if eligible, be permitted to review the known open time which has been released by the Company at his/her base in the contractual month during which s/he has AVBL days or during which his/ her flight time pay and credit was lost. Involuntary loss of flight time pay and credit as used in this paragraph K. shall include the following: cancellation, misconnect, illegality, schedule changes as provided herein, low bid line and schedule conflict. Such Flight Attendant may elect to obtain a trip sequence(s) from Open Time and add it to his/her monthly activity record ("pre-plot"). Flight time pay and credit for such pre-plotted trip sequence(s) shall not cause the Flight Attendant to exceed the No Option or Option I monthly limitation, as applicable, except as provided below, or create a conflict with the balance of his/her month's flying. Nothing herein affects the existing rights and practices under this Appendix regarding the pre-plotting of Open Time trip sequence(s) by the Company for Flight Attendants with AVBL days, except as provided for in paragraph C.4.d. of this Article.
1. Eligibility
a. AVBL Days and Involuntary Loss of Time. Except as provided herein, eligibility for pre-plotting is limited to regularly scheduled Flight Attendants with AVBL days and those Flight Attendants whose pay projections are below the applicable monthly guarantee because of an involuntary loss of flight time pay and credit, and the Flight Attendant has not voluntarily reduced his/her pay projection as described in b. below, including:
| (1) Flight Attendants awarded a low bid line;
(2) Flight Attendants who have experienced a schedule change, as provided in paragraph E. of this Article, i.e., Flight Attendants who have lost their entire month or balance of their month's schedule and are obligated to be AVBL on days originally scheduled to fly, with the approval of Crew Schedule;
(3) Flight Attendants who have experienced a misconnect, illegality or cancellation (MIC) and have been released from any further obligation to the Company as provided in paragraph P. of this Article;
(4) Flight Attendants who have an obligation to be available on "days originally scheduled to fly," as provided in paragraph P. of this Article, with the approval of Crew Schedule;
(5) Flight Attendants with "comparable days," as provided in paragraph P. of this Article, with the approval of Crew Schedule; and
(6) Flight Attendants with a schedule conflict as defined in paragraph I. of this Article and paragraphs c.1.(1) and (2) below; and
(7) Flight Attendants with AVBL days as provided in paragraphs C. and W.2. of this Article, with the approval of Crew Schedule. |
b. Voluntary Loss of Time. A Flight Attendant who has voluntarily reduced his/her pay projection below the monthly guarantee as a result of a trip trade, Trip Drop into Open Time (excluding Schedule Conflict Trip Drop), Optional Exchange, and/or unpaid absence, i.e., missed trip, shall not be eligible to pre-plot.
c. Pre-Plotting due to a Schedule Conflict. In determining a Flight Attendant's eligibility under this provision, the following shall apply:
| (1) A Flight Attendant with a schedule conflict shall be eligible for pre-plotting subject to the provisions of this paragraph K. if his/her pay projection is below his/her monthly guarantee following the elimination of the schedule conflict as provided in paragraph I. of this Article.
(2) If eligible for pre-plotting, flight time credit from a Flight Attendant's carryover trip sequence shall be credited to a Flight Attendant's actual projection, not his/her schedule projection, for purposes of determining a Flight Attendant's applicable monthly limitation (No Option or Option I, as applicable). |
d. Ability to Pre-Plot Prior to Beginning of Contractual Month. An eligible Flight Attendant will be permitted to pre-plot an open trip sequence(s) prior to the beginning of the contractual month when such time has been released by the Company.
e. Pre-Plotting Exceptions for Open Replacement Flight Attendants. Open Replacement Flight Attendants, as defined in C.2. of this Article, are subject to the pre-plotting restrictions detailed herein.
| (1) The trip sequence to be pre-plotted may not originate before nor terminate after a period of availability (i.e., a single available day, or two (2) or more consecutive AVBL days), except to carry over into the following month.
(2) Pre-plotting a turn-around (single duty period) trip sequence onto a single (non-consecutive) day of availability, or pre-plotting multi-day sequences onto multiple (consecutive) days of availability will not be restricted except by qualification and legalities.
(3) Pre-plotting turn-around (single duty period) trip sequences onto multiple (consecutive) days of availability will be subject to the following:
| (a) On a period of availability consisting of two (2) consecutive AVBL days, a Flight Attendant may pre-plot a turn-around trip sequence on either one or both AVBL days, beginning at 0001 on the fourth day prior to the period of availability.
| Example: Flight Attendant is available on 8th and 9th. Beginning the 4th, s/he may pre-plot a turn-around sequence on the 8th and/or the 9th. |
(b) On a period of availability consisting of three (3) or more consecutive AVBL days, a Flight Attendant may pre-plot a turn-around trip sequence on either the first or last available day of the period of availability beginning at 0001 on the fourth day prior to the period of availability.
| Example: Flight Attendant is available on 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. Beginning on the 4th, s/he may pre-plot a turn-around sequence on the 8th or the 11th. | | |
| 2. Limitations
a. Pre-plotting shall be prohibited as of 0001 local base time, one (1) day prior to the scheduled departure of the first leg of the Open Time trip sequence.
b. Crew Schedule may prohibit pre-plotting up to seventy-two (72) hours prior to the scheduled departure of the first leg of an Open Time trip sequence. In cases of operational necessity, pre-plotting may be prohibited for longer periods of time. The Company will notify the APFA in a timely manner, providing the reason for prohibiting pre-plotting.
3. Awarding of Pre-Plotted Trip Sequence(s). Except as provided herein, pre-plotting shall be processed in accordance with Company procedures and may require the eligible Flight Attendant to notify Crew Schedule of the open time trip sequence(s) s/he is requesting to pre-plot.
a. Open time trip sequences shall be pre-plotted on a first come, first served basis in accordance with Company procedures. |
| b. When two or more requests are being processed simultaneously, seniority shall govern.
4. Computer Automation of Pre-Plotting
a. Flight Attendants will be provided with an automated means of accessing and pre-plotting open trips.
b. Upon request by the Flight Attendant, Crew Schedule will manually pre-plot open sequences when the automated system is unavailable. If two or more requests are received simultaneously for the same sequence, seniority will govern. This does not prohibit Crew Schedule from pre-plotting in accordance with paragraph C. of this Article. |
L. OPEN TIME - ORDER OF OPEN TIME COVERAGE
Open flying which exists at the beginning of the month, as well as open time which develops during the course of the month, shall be assigned/awarded, to the extent possible, to replacement Flight Attendants and regularly scheduled Flight Attendants who have obligations to fly open time.
If a Flight Attendant's projection is at or above his/her applicable monthly maximum following an involuntary loss of time, such Flight Attendant may, at his/her option, have converted to AVBL days, a number of days equal to the number of days contained in the original sequence. These AVBL days may be placed on any remaining days on the Flight Attendant's schedule so long as the Flight Attendant has sufficient duty-free periods and is otherwise legal. Such Flight Attendant can, in addition to receiving call-out pay, recover the original time lost plus one (1) hour. Crew Schedule will not involuntarily assign a Flight Attendant electing AVBL days pursuant to this paragraph to any trip sequence.
Open time may also be awarded through Pre-Plotting, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph K. of this Article, and through Trip Trading With Open Time, in accordance with Article 25. Requirements of the operation permitting, open flying which cannot be covered by these Flight Attendants shall be covered on a daily basis, in the following order:
1. Flight Attendants whose names appear on the Make-Up List in order of seniority, provided there is no conflict with the balance of the month's flying, and the flying of the open trip sequence would not exceed the No-Option or Option I monthly limitation, as applicable.
2. Regularly scheduled Flight Attendants in order of seniority whose names appear on the Sick Time Make-Up List and then reserve Flight Attendants in order of seniority whose names appear on the Sick Time Make-Up List, at the option of the Company.
*3. Reserve Flight Attendants and/or regularly scheduled Flight Attendants exercising Option II in order of seniority and then reserve Flight Attendants exercising Limited Option II in order of seniority. Crew Schedule will determine on a day-to-day basis whether to allocate time flown under this step to reserve Flight Attendants, or Option II Flight Attendants, or a combination of reserve and Option II Flight Attendants.
4. Flight Attendants who are available and low on time, in reverse order of seniority, provided, however, there is no conflict with another flying assignment or a scheduled duty-free period.
5. A reserve Flight Attendant who is scheduled for a duty-free period may be assigned to a trip sequence provided, however, such trip sequence is scheduled to terminate at his/her home base no later than twelve (12) hours from the scheduled start of his/her duty-free period. Such assignment shall not be required more than one (1) time per contractual month except for the following:
| a. the Company may not assign a Flight Attendant to a Domestic trip sequence without the Flight Attendant's approval; and
b. a Flight Attendant may, at his/her option, waive this once per contractual month limitation. |
** 6. Regularly scheduled Flight Attendants at the base in reverse order of seniority provided, however, there is no conflict with his/her scheduled duty-free period.
**7. Reserve Flight Attendants on a scheduled duty-free period.
***8. Regularly scheduled Flight Attendants on a duty-free period, in reverse order of
seniority.
| *The Company shall notify the APFA when it begins assigning Domestic trip sequence(s) to International Reserves. Such assignments shall not occur unless necessary to maintain the Domestic Operation in accordance with Article 10.A.3. of this Appendix. Crew Schedule shall provide an explanation of the reason(s) for using an International Reserve(s) on Domestic when requested by the APFA. |
**The Company shall notify the APFA when step six (6), seven (7), and/or eight (8), have been reached.
| ***The Base Manager will make every attempt to contact the local APFA Chairperson when a staffing shortage exists, i.e., when it is necessary to assign trips to regularly scheduled Flight Attendants who are on a scheduled duty-free period. |
M. "CHASE" FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
Each base shall recruit and maintain a list of qualified Flight Attendants to "chase" a new or inexperienced Purser or galley Flight Attendant. Base staffing permitting, the Flight Attendant may be removed from schedule to perform the "chase".
1. New or inexperienced Purser or galley Flight Attendants may request a "chase" and may be granted a "chase" at the option of the Company.
2. The Company will proffer "chase" assignments in seniority order by using a list of qualified "chase" Flight Attendants. A "chase" Flight Attendant will not be proffered subsequent "chase" trips until other Flight Attendants on the "chase" assignment list are proffered "chase" assignments.
3. When a Flight Attendant performs "chase" duties during scheduled days off, pay
(no credit) shall be remitted for the trip or trips involved in the "chase" activities.
4. If it becomes necessary to remove a Flight Attendant from a regularly scheduled trip sequence for a "chase" assignment, and if the "chase" Flight Attendant volunteers to do so, she/he will be paid and credited for the trip or trips involved in the "chase" activities, or the trip sequence from which she/he was removed, whichever is greater.
5. Expense monies in the prior two categories shall be remitted in accordance with Article 4.A. of this Appendix I "...prorated to the nearest minute, from the reporting time as set forth in Article 7.L. through the debriefing period following the trip that returns the Flight Attendant to his/her home base station."
6. If it becomes necessary to remove a Flight Attendant from reserve duty for a "chase" assignment, pay and credit and trip expenses will be remitted for the trip or trips involved in the "chase" activities.
7. "Chase" Flight Attendants will receive all contractually required legal rest.
8. Voluntary Galley Proficiency Training will be offered to Flight Attendants on a first come/first serve basis on days off only, without the need for trip removals. A Flight Attendant may attend more than one (1) Voluntary Galley Proficiency Training session, however, the Company will only pay for one (1) such Voluntary Galley Proficiency Training session in accordance with Article 3.H.2. If necessary, as determined by the Company, Flight Attendants attending Voluntary Galley Proficiency Training will also receive room, board, A-12 round trip travel and ground transportation; however, the Company will only provide room, board, A-12 round trip travel and ground transportation for one (1) such Voluntary Galley Proficiency Training session.
N. NOTIFICATION OF DELAY
When a Flight Attendant's originating trip of the day is delayed and s/he is notified of this delay prior to leaving for the airport, his/her duty day begins at his/her rescheduled report time. If Crew Schedule is unable to reach the Flight Attendant before s/he departs for the field, and s/he reports for the original departure time, his/her duty day begins at the originally scheduled report time. However, if the call is placed by Crew Schedule three (3) hours or more prior to the originally scheduled departure time and the Flight Attendant cannot be contacted, s/he will be considered notified. Crew Schedule will use its best efforts to notify a Flight Attendant affected by a delay as soon as practicable after Crew Schedule becomes aware of the delay.
O. RESCHEDULING
Rescheduling can occur as the result of irregular operations due to weather delays, equipment delays, cancellations, crew shortages and misconnections. In the event of irregular operations, Flight Attendants who are assigned together will, to the extent possible, be kept together. If a cabin crew is to be split due to reschedule, a reserve, if a member of the crew, should be rescheduled prior to a regularly scheduled crew member.
P. MISCONNECTION/ILLEGALITY/CANCELLATION (MIC)
1. Mid-Sequence. A misconnection, illegality, or cancellation (MIC) during the course of a trip sequence shall have no impact on a Flight Attendant's monthly guarantee and the Flight Attendant shall have no obligation following his/her return to base; provided, however, that prior to his/her return to base, s/he may be deadheaded or rescheduled as determined by Crew Schedule.
2. Sequence Origination Other Than The Last Trip of the Month. When a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant's originating flight has a misconnect, illegality or cancellation (MIC) at trip sequence origination, excluding schedule conflict and the last rip of the month, such Flight Attendant shall contact Crew Schedule to determine if s/he shall be assigned/rescheduled or held available for further duty in accordance with 2.a. through d. below or released in accordance with 2.e. below. Crew Schedule may:
| a. Require him/her to deadhead to cover his/her return flight.
b. Assign him/her to airport availability duty.
c. Reschedule him/her to another trip or trip sequence.
d. Hold him/her available for further duty on all days originally scheduled to fly. A Flight Attendant who is held available for further duty shall be obligated to maintain contact |
| with Crew Schedule on each day prior to a day s/he was originally scheduled to fly during a two (2) hour period specified by Crew Schedule. If, on such day, the Flight Attendant is on a duty-free period during the daily Crew Schedule contact period and voluntary contact is not made, it is mandatory that such Flight Attendant contact Crew Schedule as soon as the duty-free period is over. If the MIC occurs after the specified call-in period, Crew Schedule may designate an earlier call-in period for the next day.
e. Release him/her from duty as provided for in paragraphs 3. and 4. below. |
The Flight Attendant may not, at his/her request, deadhead to cover his/her return trip, if this will cause a double deadhead.
Once the MIC has occurred, a Flight Attendant may not move his/her duty-free period(s) or schedule a non-flying assignment onto a day legally available for assignment, as provided in this paragraph P., without Crew Schedule approval until such time as s/he has fulfilled his/her obligation as provided herein.
3. Assignments Resulting From A MIC Trip Sequence During The First Twenty-Five (25) or Twenty-Six (26) Days Of The Month. The following shall apply to the assignment of a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant pursuant to paragraphs 2.a. through d. above, as a result of a MIC during the first twenty-five (25) or twenty-six (26) days of a month (depending on the length of the contractual month):
| a. Such assignments must originate on the day(s) originally scheduled to fly, and may not create a conflict with a duty-free period or the balance of a Flight Attendant's schedule;
b. Such assignments may not exceed a Flight Attendant's monthly maximum, i.e., No Option or Option I, as applicable;
c. A Flight Attendant who is held available for further duty may be subject to multiple assignments which originate on days originally scheduled to fly. If a Flight Attendant's pay projection, excluding chase no-credit flying, is at or above his/her applicable monthly guarantee following an assignment(s) in accordance with paragraph 2. above, such Flight Attendant shall not be subject to further assignment/obligation under this paragraph P. In accordance with 9.L., such Flight Attendant may, at his/her option, have the remaining days originally scheduled to fly (DOSTF) converted to AVBL days. These AVBL days may be placed on any remaining days the Flight Attendant is not scheduled to fly except duty-free periods. A Flight Attendant choosing to have the remaining DOSTF converted to AVBL days can recover the original time lost plus one (1) hour, excluding call out pay;
d. Once the MIC has occurred, a Flight Attendant may not move his/her duty-free period(s) or schedule a non-flying assignment onto a day legally available for assignment, as provided in this paragraph P., without Crew Schedule approval until such time as s/he has fulfilled his/her obligation as provided herein; and
e. A regularly scheduled Flight Attendant may, with Crew Schedule approval, access open time ("pre-plot") if eligible under the provisions of paragraph K. of this Article. Such pre-plotting may be in combination with other assignments pursuant to 2.a. through d. above. |
A Flight Attendant shall have fulfilled and be released from his/her obligation under this paragraph P. if s/he has:
| (1) A pay projection at or above the applicable monthly guarantee (excluding chase no-credit flying) following such pre-plotting, or |
4. Release From A MIC TRIP Sequence During The First Twenty-Five (25) Or Twenty-Six (26) Days Of The Month. The following shall apply to the release of a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant, pursuant to paragraph 2.e. above, as a result of a MIC occurring the first twenty-five (25) or twenty-six (26) days of a month (depending on the length of the contractual month):
| a. A Flight Attendant whose pay projection, excluding any chase no-credit flying, after taking into account the MIC, is at or above his/her applicable monthly guarantee, when released by Crew Schedule, shall have no further obligation, as provided for in this paragraph P; or
b. A Flight Attendant whose pay projection, excluding any chase no-credit flying, after taking into account the MIC, is below his/her applicable monthly guarantee when released by Crew Schedule, shall select from the following:
| (1) S/he may elect to forego any additional obligation. In such event, the trip sequence missed due to the MIC (the "MIC trip sequence") will be treated as a trip trade down in hours for purposes of guarantee reduction and the Flight Attendant shall have his/her guarantee reduced to equal the new projection, as provided in Article 25.G. However, such Flight Attendant shall be eligible to access open time ("pre-plot"), in accordance with paragraph K. of this Article, and/or trip trade with open time or another Flight Attendant, in accordance with Article 25.A. and C. of this Agreement, up to his/her monthly maximum, i.e., No Option or Option I, as applicable; or
(2) S/he may elect to protect his/her applicable monthly guarantee, or reduced guarantee (if the Flight Attendant has reduced his/her guarantee prior to the MIC through a previous guarantee adjustment), by incurring a "comparable day(s)" obligation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5. below. | |
5. Release: Comparable Days/Protection Of Monthly Guarantee Or Reduced Guarantee. If released by Crew Schedule, a Flight Attendant may protect his/her monthly guarantee (or reduced guarantee if such Flight Attendant has reduced his/her guarantee through a previous guarantee adjustment) by agreeing to make him/herself available for assignment on a pre-determined number of unscheduled days off during the remainder of the contractual month ("Comparable Days"), as described herein:
| a. The Company shall designate the comparable day(s); however, the Company shall attempt to honor Flight Attendant preferences for a designated comparable day(s), whenever possible. A Flight Attendant whose preference for a comparable day(s) is not honored may elect to forego his/her comparable day(s) obligation as provided herein and be released with no further obligation, under this paragraph P., with the hours lost treated as a trip trade down in time. |
b. The number of Comparable Days required for monthly guarantee protection shall be equal to the number of calendar days contained within the MIC trip sequence, except that:
| (1) If a Flight Attendant is notified of a MIC after reporting for duty, the comparable day(s) obligation shall be one (1) less day than the number of calendar days contained within the MIC trip sequence;
(2) In cases of an overfly which causes an illegality removal due to a direct conflict, the comparable day(s) obligation will be equal to the number of calendar days of the MIC trip sequence less any day(s) of overfly flown into a day(s) of the MIC trip sequence.
(3) If a Flight Attendant's monthly activity record reflects fewer unscheduled days off remaining in the contractual month than the days obligated, then such Flight Attendant shall satisfy the comparable day(s) obligation by remaining available on all remaining unscheduled days off.
(4) If a Flight Attendant's monthly activity record reflects that s/he has no unscheduled days off for the remainder of the contractual month, s/he will be deemed to have satisfied his/her comparable day(s) obligation.
(5) A Flight Attendant with a comparable day(s) obligation shall maintain contact with Crew Schedule on each day prior to a comparable day during a two (2) hour period specified by Crew Schedule. If the Flight Attendant is on a duty-free period and contact is not made, the Flight Attendant must contact Crew Schedule as soon as the duty-free period is over. If a Flight Attendant's MIC occurs after the normal call-in window, the Company may designate an earlier call-in period for the next day to allow for an assignment for that next day. A Flight Attendant may be subject to multiple assignments up to the monthly maximums, i.e., No Option or Option I, as applicable, provided that such assignment does not conflict with a duty-free period or another trip sequence. Once such Flight Attendant has been assigned up to his/her applicable monthly guarantee, s/he shall have no further obligation to the Company.
(6) Comparable day(s) shall be indicated on a Flight Attendant's monthly activity record; however, the Company shall not pre-plot trips onto such comparable day(s).
(7) A Flight Attendant with a comparable day(s) obligation whose pay projection (excluding chase no-credit flying) is below his/her applicable monthly guarantee may, with Crew Schedule approval, pre-plot in accordance with Article 9.K. or Trip Trade with Open Time in accordance with Article 25 provided, s/he does not exceed his/her monthly maximums, i.e., No Option or Option I, as applicable. Such pre-plotted and/or Trip Trade with Open Time trip sequence may be in combination with a comparable day(s) to fulfill the original "comparable days" obligation day period. A Flight Attendant who satisfies the comparable day(s) obligation or whose pay projection is at or above his/her applicable guarantee following such pre-plotting and/or TTOT shall have no further obligation under this paragraph P. |
6. Cancellation/Illegality Protection - Last Trip During The Last Five (5) Days Of The Month
a. A regularly scheduled Flight Attendant whose last trip sequence (including a trip sequence obtained through Make-Up, Optional Exchange or Option II) on his/her trip selection is scheduled to originate during the last five (5) days of the contractual month, and |
Current Contract
