 | as a result of a cancellation/illegality of all or part of such sequence, does no flying, shall be paid and credited on a scheduled basis for such trip sequence, provided such Flight Attendant attempts to recover the time lost through make-up flying request. To qualify for this cancellation/illegality protection, a Flight Attendant should make an effort to fly any trip sequence for which s/he is legal and available that originates up to eight (8) hours after the scheduled termination time of the original trip sequence that was cancelled or from the trip sequence such Flight Attendant was removed due to illegality.
b. A Flight Attendant who declines the opportunity to make up a trip as provided in a. above, shall forfeit cancellation/illegality pay.
c. A Flight Attendant who successfully makes up a trip, but in so doing is paid and credited with less time than was contained in the original cancelled/illegal trip sequence shall be paid and credited with the difference between the trip sequence flown and the trip sequence for which s/he was protected.
d. Pay protection is limited to the hours scheduled to be flown during the contractual month in which the trip sequence was scheduled to originate.
e. The make-up obligation/make-up flying shall not extend beyond the contractual month in which the cancellation/illegality occurred.
f. The provisions of a. through e. above will also apply to those instances of cancellation or illegality on the originating leg of the trip sequence, at home base, co-terminal or satellite base, following a ground interruption. These provisions will also apply to an air interruption as defined in Article 8.B.2. This does not include trip sequence cancellation or illegality after the first flight leg. |
Q. CONSOLIDATION
When flights are consolidated, the Flight Attendants originally assigned to the surviving trip number will normally operate the flight. However, the nature of a specific trip pairing may dictate that the Flight Attendants from the "cancelled" flight operate the surviving trip.
R. MOVE-UPS
When a trip assigned to an out-of base crew is uncovered due to the late arrival of the turnaround or layover crew, Flight Attendants should be moved-up as operational requirements dictate. Move-ups shall be considered reassignments.
S. ILLEGALITY
1. When a late arrival or overflying causes a Flight Attendant to be illegal for his/her next scheduled trip sequence(s), s/he shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph P. of this Article.
2. An illegality shall include those instances of removal of a Flight Attendant from a flight due to either a lack of qualification and/or reduced manning requirement, as the result of a substitution of equipment.
T. TRIPS MISSED-ASSUMED LEGALITY (PAPER LEGAL)
A Flight Attendant who is relieved from flying duties for a paid absence including, but not limited to, vacation, sick leave, training, jury duty, union leave, displacement and personal emergency, shall not assume the legality of the trip sequence(s) from which s/he is removed. However, a Flight Attendant shall be considered illegal and shall be removed from any trip in the following circumstances:
1. when there is a "direct conflict" between the two trip sequences, i.e., the second trip sequence is scheduled to depart prior to the scheduled arrival of the first; or
2. the amount of time between the scheduled arrival of the first trip sequence and the scheduled departure of the second trip sequence is less than the applicable report and debrief period combined.
U. ASSIGNMENT OF OPEN PURSER POSITIONS
During the process of providing coverage for an open Purser position, should Crew Schedule be unable to fill the position prior to the assignment of a qualified Purser reserve, as provided in paragraph L.3. of this Article (Open Time-Order of Open Time Coverage), the following procedures shall apply:
1. If one (1) or more qualified Pursers are working such trip sequence and have indicated a desire to be assigned the Purser position should it become available, the open Purser position shall be assigned to the most senior such Purser except:
| a. when the open Purser position is on a trip sequence that requires a foreign language qualified Flight Attendant(s) and
| (1) one or more of the qualified Purser(s) on the trip sequence have indicated a desire to be assigned the open Purser position and
(2) the most senior such Purser(s) also possess(es) the required foreign language qualification. |
b. In such event, Crew Schedule may determine that the senior foreign language qualified Purser(s) is needed for his/her language qualification and shall award the open Purser position to the next most senior qualified Purser who is not needed for his/her foreign language qualification. |
2. In the event that the provisions of paragraph 1. above fail to provide a qualified Purser for an open Purser position, time and operational needs permitting, Crew Schedule may:
| a. Assign the open Purser position to a Purser reserve and/or regularly scheduled Purser exercising Option II in order of seniority and then a Purser reserve 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 Purser reserves or Option II Pursers or a combination of Purser reserves and Option II Pursers; or
b. If there is an open Purser position on a trip sequence and there are qualified Pursers on that trip sequence who have not indicated a desire to be assigned the Purser position should it become available, the most junior Purser qualified Flight Attendant may be assigned the open Purser position unless it is determined that s/he is needed for his/her language qualification; or
c. Provide coverage for the open Purser position as provided in the balance of this Article, including reassignment of a Purser; or |
3. In the event the procedures of paragraphs 1. and 2. herein have not resulted in the assignment of a qualified Purser to the open position, Crew Schedule may, based on operational requirements, elect to fill such Purser position without regard to the required foreign language qualification. In such case, Crew Schedule shall assign the open Purser position to the most senior language qualified Purser who has indicated a desire to be assigned the Purser position should it become available.
4. In the event the above procedures have not resulted in the assignment of a qualified Purser to the open position, the Purser position shall be filled either by proffering the open position to the cabin crew in seniority order or by using the procedures of Open Time as provided in this Article, irrespective of the Purser qualification.
V. BID DENIALS
1. A Flight Attendant may be denied a trip selection to which s/he would otherwise be entitled on the basis of seniority and qualification, if:
| a. Such award would result in such Flight Attendant being projected under his/her monthly guaranteed hours.
b. Such award would project such Flight Attendant over the hours contained in the highest trip selection for bid that month.
c. Such flying is in conflict with the flying performed in the prior month.
d. Such award would result in a Flight Attendant with a vacation of two (2) weeks flying less in that month than an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the scheduled hours in the smallest trip sequence in such trip selection.
e. Subparagraph c. above shall not apply at bases where the majority of allocated flying consists of turnarounds and/or trips with all on-duty periods contained in three (3) calendar days or less.
f. Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph e. above, Flight Attendants may be denied a trip selection as described in paragraph 1. above for any trip selection whose first trip sequence is defined as long-range flying or extended-long-range flying provided that the awarding of such trip selection would result in a schedule conflict as provided under Article 9.I. of this Agreement. |
2. The awarding of trip selections shall be predicated on original scheduled time regardless of subsequent reschedules.
W. TRIP SELECTION/GUARANTEE ADJUSTMENT
1. A Flight Attendant who has not exercised the provisions of Article 7.C. or 7.D. and who becomes over-projected as a result of flying a trip sequence which originates in one (1) month and terminates in the subsequent month, or as a result of overflying within a contractual month, will have such over-projection handled in the following manner:
| a. The Flight Attendant will be notified of such over-projection as soon as possible after such over-projection becomes known.
b. The Flight Attendant may, at the time of notification of such over-projection, elect to invoke the provisions of Article 7.C. and complete the trip selection for that month.
c. Should the Flight Attendant in paragraph a. above elect not to invoke the provisions of Article 7.C., such Flight Attendant shall have his/her schedule adjusted to bring such trip selection projection below the applicable monthly maximum.
d. If as a result of a trip removal as described in paragraph c. above, a Flight Attendant is projected at sixty-nine hours fifty-nine minutes (69:59) or below, such Flight Attendants minimum guarantee of seventy hours (70:00) shall not be further reduced as a result of such trip removal. |
2. a. At the option of the Company, AVBL days may be pre-plotted on the monthly trip selections (bid sheet) on any such trip selection scheduled for seventy-four hours (74:00) or less. The number of such AVBL days shall be predicated on the basis of one (1) AVBL day for each four hours twenty minutes (4:20) or any portion thereof, below seventy-four hours one minute (74:01).
| b. Should the provisions of Article 8.F. of this Appendix I, when applied to a specific trip selection, result in a pay projection in excess of the minimum scheduled hours provided in paragraph a. above, no AVBL days will be pre-plotted on that trip selection.
c. Flight Attendants may exercise the provisions of Article 9.L.1. and satisfy the requirement for AVBL days in advance of the AVBL days pre-plotted on the trip selection.
d. Fly through time or overflying within the month resulting in a projection in excess of the formula provided for in paragraph 2.a. above shall satisfy the requirement for AVBL days pre-plotted on that trip selection. |
ARTICLE 10 - RESERVE
A. DEFINITION
1. A reserve Flight Attendant is one who does not hold a regular flying assignment and whose function is to be available to back up regular schedules and to perform any open and/or reserve flying not flown by regularly assigned Flight Attendants. Reserve flying assignments are made up in accordance with the number of reserves required by the base. Each month reserve elections containing pre-planned duty-free periods, as provided in paragraph F. of this Article, shall be offered for bid at every base.
2. Reserve Flight Attendants have no choice in assignment to specific trips. Crew Schedule will assign trips as they develop and the necessity to cover such trips arises. Reserve assignments will be made in "time accrued" order (i.e., Flight Attendants will be assigned in order of lowest accrued flight time pay and credit to highest accrued flight time pay and credit for which s/he is legal and available to fly) as provided in paragraphs H., K., and L. of this Article. As an exception notwithstanding the provisions of Article 10.S. and Article 12.H. of this Supplemental Agreement, the following will apply:
| a. The Company may maintain at all times a separate Language Ready Reserve List comprised only of Flight Attendants who possess a foreign language qualification(s) at bases where such foreign language qualified Flight Attendants are required.
b. The provisions of Article 10.K.2.c. and 10.M.5.a. of this Supplemental Agreement shall not be made applicable to Language Ready Reserve Flight Attendants.
c. A reasonable effort will be made to balance the number of standby reserve assignments with any given language. |
3. International reserve flying should be confined to the International Operation, however, International reserves may be used on a temporary basis to fly a Domestic trip sequence(s) if it is necessary to maintain the Domestic Operation. A reserve Flight Attendant who is assigned to a Domestic trip sequence shall be paid at International rates and shall receive Domestic expenses as provided in Article 4.A.1. of the Basic Agreement. In such event the following shall apply:
| a. Prior to assigning an open Domestic trip sequence(s) to an International reserve, the Company shall offer such open trip sequence(s) to regularly scheduled Domestic Flight Attendants, in order of seniority, whose names appear on the Sick Time Make-Up List, and then those reserve Flight Attendants, in order of seniority, whose names appear on the Sick Time Make-Up List. |
| b. The Company shall notify the APFA when the Company begins assigning a Domestic trip sequence(s) to an International reserve Flight Attendant(s). Such assignments shall not occur unless necessary to maintain the Domestic Operation in accordance with this Appendix, Article 10.A.3. Crew Schedule shall provide an explanation of the reason(s) for using an International Reserve(s) on Domestic when requested by APFA.
c. The assigning of an International Reserve(s) to a Domestic trip sequence(s) shall be made in accordance with the Order of Open Time as provided in Article 9.L. of the Basic Agreement in conjunction with this paragraph 3.
d. International Reserves shall not be used for Domestic flying originating in any one contractual month a second time until all other International Reserves at a base who are legal and available have been assigned at least one time. Subsequent Domestic assignments shall be allocated among International reserve Flight Attendants in the same manner.
e. Crew Schedule shall not assign an International Reserve to Domestic standby. However, if an International Reserve is called out for an International standby assignment, completion of the standby assignment may involve remaining available for other flying assignments, such as deadheading to cover International flying at other Bases, or Domestic flying if needed to maintain the Domestic Operation. |
B. MONTHLY MAXIMUM/GUARANTEE
1. Eighty-five (85) credit hours shall constitute the monthly maximum for a reserve Flight Attendant.
2. A reserve Flight Attendant shall be guaranteed five (5) hours of incentive pay in addition to the seventy (70) hours of base pay for the month, provided that when a Flight Attendant is in a non-pay status during the month, such five (5) hours incentive pay shall be reduced by fifteen (15) minutes for each day in such non-pay reserve status.
C. DETERMINING COMPLIANCE WITH THE MONTHLY MAXIMUM
1. Monthly Credit Maximum Based on Scheduled Flight Time or Actual Flight Time. For determining compliance with the monthly credit maximum provided for in B. above, scheduled flight time or actual flight time, whichever is greater on a leg-by-leg basis, will be used.
2. Last Scheduled Trip of The Month. For purposes of compliance with the monthly maximum, a reserve Flight Attendant will be considered legal to fly her/his last scheduled trip or trip pairing of the month, if prior to departure from her/his home base station on such last trip or trip pairing, her/his previous total flight time credit for the month when added to the scheduled flight time plus credited time as provided in Article 8 of this Agreement of such last trip or trip pairing within the contractual month, produces a total which does not exceed her/his monthly maximum of eighty-five (85) hours. Having once embarked on such last trip or trip pairing, such Flight Attendant will be considered legal to fly and complete her/his scheduled assignment.
3. Limited Option II and Optional Exchange. Flight time credit earned under the provisions of Limited Option II and/or OE will not apply toward the reserve monthly maximum, however flight time pay earned under said provisions will apply against the applicable reserve guarantee.
4. Limited Option II and Sick Make-Up. Flight time credit earned from a trip sequence relinquished under the provisions of D.2.a. below will apply towards the reserve monthly maximum.
D. RESERVE - SUPPLEMENTAL FLYING
| 1. Limited Option II and Sick Make-Up
a. A reserve Flight Attendant may exercise a Limited Option II and/or may perform Sick Make-Up flying under the provisions of the Order of Open Time Coverage (Article 9.L. of this Supplemental Agreement) by relinquishing a duty-free period(s) in order to fly an open trip. Trips flown under this provision must be scheduled to terminate at the Flight Attendant's home base no later than 1130 local base time the day prior to a day of reserve obligation.
b. A reserve Flight Attendant desiring to perform Limited Option II and/or Sick Make-Up will indicate her/his desire to do so by placing her/his name on the Option II List and/or Sick Make-Up List, maintained at each base, and indicate the dates of the duty-free period(s) on which s/he desires such flying. A reserve Flight Attendant proffered an Option II and/or Sick Make-Up trip is under no obligation to accept the assignment. Crew Schedule need make only one attempt to contact the reserve Flight Attendant on the Option II List and/or Sick Make-Up List. If no contact can be established, the trip may be proffered to the next name on the Option II List and/or Sick Make-Up List or otherwise handled as open time.
c. Option II and/or sick make-up flying (including Limited Option II) may be offered both regular and reserve Flight Attendants in their respective seniority order.
d. For trips flown as sick make-up under the provisions of 1. above, sick leave accrual will be restored to the extent of the number of hours flown. The number of hours that may be flown on sick make-up shall not exceed the number of hours used on paid sick leave since the time of original employment. The opportunity to make up sick time will not be limited to the month(s) in which the sick instance occurred.
2. Optional Exchange
a. A reserve Flight Attendant may exercise the provisions of Article 25.B.1. Optional Exchange to relinquish a trip sequence to another Flight Attendant through Optional Exchange (OR).

b. A reserve Flight Attendant may exercise the provisions of Article 25.B.2., Optional Exchange and accept a trip sequence from another Flight Attendant, by relinquishing a duty-free period(s) in order to fly the trip. A trip sequence flown under this provision must be scheduled to terminate at the Flight Attendant's home base no later than 1130 local base time the day prior to a day of reserve obligation. |
3. Flight Time Pay and Flight Time Credit. Flight time credit earned under the provisions of Limited Option II and/or OE will not apply towards that reserve monthly maximum, however flight time pay earned under said provisions will apply against the applicable reserve guarantee.
4. Monthly Maximum Met or Exceeded. A reserve Flight Attendant at or above his/her monthly maximum will be released from his/her reserve obligation and shall be considered as a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant for all purposes.
| 5. Less Than Average Day
a. A reserve Flight Attendant with less than the "average day" reserve obligation who is scheduled for a duty-free period on the last day of the contractual month shall be released from his/her reserve obligation for the month and shall be considered a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant for all purposes.
b. A reserve Flight Attendant with less than the "average day" reserve obligation who is not scheduled for a duty-free period on the last day of the contractual month shall be released subject to assignment on the last day of the contractual month. At the point of release, such reserve is a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant for purposes of Option II or sick make-up or Optional Exchange flying on the day(s) of release and/or duty-free periods relinquished in accordance with paragraph 6. below.

These duty-free periods will be joined into blocks of two (2) or more duty-free periods comprised of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours each. Reserve lines will be comprised of "patterns" of blocks of duty-free periods and periods of reserve obligation. A pattern of duty-free periods shall consist of either three (3) blocks of duty-free periods or four (4) blocks of duty-free periods. Both types of patterns of duty-free periods shall be offered on each base bid sheet. Reserve line patterns will be constructed according to the following, with the exception of paragraph 5 below.

The total percentage of one and/or two block patterns of duty-free periods will correspond with the percentage of allocated hours of flying in the particular base, which meet the criteria of subparagraphs a. and/or b. below (e.g., if thirty (30) percent of allocated hours at a particular base fit the criteria, then thirty (30) percent of the reserve selections at that base will be pre-planned with one and/or two block patterns of duty-free periods).
| a. Trip sequences of five (5) or more calendar days; or
b. Any trip sequence involving long-range flying/extended-long-range flying |
6. Base Exceptions. The Company and the APFA may mutually agree to exceptions to sub-paragraphs 2., 3., 4. and 5. above, according to the needs of an individual base and limited to the reserve lines at that base. Any such agreement will be renewable and limited in duration to one (1) year.
7. Percentage of Selections with First/Last Day Off. Bases with reserve lists of fifty (50) Flight Attendants or more will have ten percent (10%) of the reserve days off selections scheduled with the first and/or last days of the month off.

A reserve Flight Attendant who is to change status to regular schedule in the following month and who flies into the first regularly scheduled duty-free period of the new month shall commence his/her rescheduled duty-free period thirty (30) minutes after arrival, provided there is sufficient time before the next scheduled trip departure. If there is inadequate time before the next trip departure, the duty-free period will be rescheduled later in the new month.
11. Change in Status at End of Month: Regular Scheduled to Reserve. A regularly scheduled Flight Attendant who flies into a new month and in doing so disrupts a reserve duty-free period will be given the required off-duty break of twelve (12) hours and then commence the rescheduled duty-free period.
12. Contact with Company: Rest Periods/Duty-Free Periods/Vacation. The Company will use its best efforts to avoid contacting a reserve Flight Attendant on a legal rest period between the hours of 2300 and 0600. No reserve Flight Attendant shall be required to keep the Company advised of his/her whereabouts during the off-duty periods as provided for herein, or during the period while on scheduled vacation.
G. RESCHEDULING OF DUTY-FREE PERIODS
1. Termination of Trip Sequence Twelve (12) Hours Into Start of Duty-Free Period. Subject to the provisions of Article 9.L.5. of this Supplemental Agreement, a reserve Flight Attendant may elect or may be required by the Company to change any scheduled duty-free period prospectively, providing that such reserve Flight Attendant is scheduled to fly a trip sequence that is scheduled to
terminate at his/her home base station no later than twelve (12) hours from the scheduled start of his/her duty-free period. A reserve Flight Attendant who is so scheduled and flies into such twelve (12) hour period shall have his/her required off-duty rest break and then commence a duty-free period equal to that for which s/he was originally scheduled.
2. Rescheduling Due to Inadequate Coverage. In the event that the provisions of Appendix I, Article 9.L., Order of Open Time Coverage, do not provide the required coverage at a base to protect the Company's operation and other means of protection which are normally used have been exhausted, any reserve Flight Attendant may have his/her duty-free period changed and such duty-free period must be rescheduled prospectively.
3. Prospective Rescheduling of a Twenty-Four (24) Hour Duty-Free Period. The rescheduling of a twenty-four (24) hour duty-free period should be prospectively joined, to the extent possible, with another twenty-four (24) hour period or multiple duty-free period, or scheduled separately.
4. Rescheduling of a Multiple Duty-Free Period. If a multiple duty-free period is to be moved, and such multiple duty-free period cannot be joined with an existing duty-free period, or scheduled separately, such multiple duty-free period shall be separated into twenty-four (24) hour increments and scheduled separately.
5. Rescheduling of Duty-Free Period for Purpose of Attending Training with Consent of Flight Attendant. The Company may, with the consent of the reserve Flight Attendant, change one (1) or more duty-free period prospectively for the purpose of assigning such Flight Attendant to training.
6. Move-Up of Duty-Free Periods. Definition: A move-up of a duty-free period is the rescheduling of a duty-free period that is scheduled to be taken later in the month to a date that is still prospective but earlier in the reserve month.
| a. The Company will make known to Flight Attendants serving reserve the manner in which requests to move-up a duty-free period should be submitted.
b. A move-up of a duty-free period may be requested in increments of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours only, consistent with the start and end time of duty-free periods established at the local base.
c. With the consent of the Flight Attendant, the Company may reschedule one (1) or more duty-free periods prospectively.
d. Operational needs permitting, reserve Flight Attendants' requests for move-ups will be awarded from among those Flight Attendants having requests on file at the specific time such requests are to be processed each day. For the purposes of awarding a move-up request, all Flight Attendants serving reserve at the base will be combined into a single seniority list according to the particular day requested for move-up, and requests will be awarded in seniority order.
e. A request to move up a duty-free period will be granted, and the reserve Flight Attendant notified, not later than a time to be mutually determined by the Company and the APFA on the day prior to the date for which the request is being made. The Company may grant requests to move-up a duty-free period in advance of the established award time.
f. If granted, the reserve day of obligation displaced by the moved up duty-free period will be rescheduled to the date of the duty-free period which was moved up.
g. The rescheduled duty-free period may be prospectively joined to another duty-free period, or scheduled separately. | |
