A Flight Attendant, at his/her option, may waive the thirty (30) hour in seven (7) day limitation at any time prior to or during the month. Once this waiver is exercised, the 30 in 7 limitation will be waived for the balance of the month, and the following shall apply: (1) The Company shall continue to build trip selections within the 30 in 7 limitations of 1. a. above; (2) A Flight Attendant may note the 30 in 7 waiver on his/her bid ballot or exercise that waiver at any time during the month by notifying the Company; (3) A Flight Attendant waiving the 30 in 7 limitation for the month is not subject to involuntary reassignment at home base which would require exceeding the 30 in 7 limitation; however, a Flight Attendant may elect to be assigned such a trip sequence; (4) A Flight Attendant, once having waived the 30 in 7 limitation must fly and complete the trip sequence and is subject to reassignment/reschedule away from base without regard to the 30 in 7 limitation; (5) Once the 30 in 7 limitation has been waived, a Flight Attendant is eligible for open flying, make-up, sick make-up, Optional Exchange, trip trade(s) and Option II trip sequences without regard to the 30 in 7 limitation. 2.

The Company will place the twenty-four (24) hour period on the Flight Attendant's schedule based on operational considerations. This will include the ability to make an exception to Time Accrued Reserve System (TARS) for the purpose of satisfying the 24-in-7 limitation for a reserve Flight Attendant at the end of a contractual month, when doing so would avoid disruption of the Flight Attendants scheduled flying in the following contractual month.
