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 selections 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.

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 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 towards 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.) 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 1145 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 afforded to 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 will 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 (OR)

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). (1) A reserve Flight Attendant relinquishing a trip sequence through Optional Exchange (OR) will be credited, unpaid for the scheduled hours of the trip sequence relinquished.

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 1145 local base time the day prior to a day of reserve obligation.

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 will be released from his/her reserve obligation for the month and will 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 will 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. c. "Average day," for purposes of paragraphs a. and b. above, will be as outlined in Article 8.A.2. Average day will not refer to the duty period minimum.

9. Change in Status at End of Month: Reserve to Regular Scheduled. 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 will commence his/her rescheduled duty-free period fifteen (15) 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.

10. 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.

11. 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 Scheduled Duty-Free Period. Subject to the provisions of Article 9.L.5., 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 sequence a trip 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 Article 9.L., Order of Open Time, 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. The rescheduling of a duty-free period may be prospectively joined with another duty-free period, or scheduled separately.

4. 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(s) prospectively for the purpose of assigning such Flight Attendant to training.

5. 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. 79 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. h. A Flight Attendant may be denied a request to move-up a duty-free period if such move would create a period of reserve obligated days of seven (7) or more consecutive days.

6. Trading of Duty-Free Periods. Reserves will be allowed to trade with other reserves equal numbers of duty-free periods under the following conditions:

a. The trade is submitted to the Company as soon as possible, but no later than three (3) days prior to the first day involved in the trade. b. Extraordinary circumstances notwithstanding, eligible trades will be processed by the Company as soon as practicable, but no later than the earlier of five (5) calendar days after submission of the trade or twenty-four (24) hours prior to the first day involved in the trade. c. Trading of a duty-free period(s) will be permitted between two (2) Flight Attendants within the same division only. d. The trade does not create a period of consecutive reserve obligated days of seven (7) or more, or less than four (4). e. The trade may only be submitted by either of the two Flight Attendants involved in the trade. f. Flight Attendants may not submit a trade that is contingent upon any other trade. g. Duty-free periods may not be traded into or out of any planned absence(s). h. A Flight Attendant may trade a movable duty-free period if it has been moved.

7. Movable Duty-Free Period. Any voluntary act by a Flight Attendant which alters his/her duty-free periods has no effect on the Company's ability to move a Movable Duty-Free Period pursuant to Article 10.F.7.b. above.

H. OPERATION OF RESERVE LIST

1. Beginning of the Month - First In/First Out. When the reserve list is prepared at the beginning of the month, the first in/first out principle will be used. The number one available Flight Attendant will be the Flight Attendant whose period of inactivity (including required rest periods, duty-free periods, vacation, sick and other days of unavailability) since his/her last arrival at the base station is the longest. S/he is followed, in order, by those Flight Attendants whose arrivals followed his/hers. If two (2) Flight Attendants have the same arrival time, the senior Flight Attendant will be used first. For purposes of determining first in/first out position, only actual flying assignments are to be considered. Assignments to training, special assignments and other assignments are not considered in determining a Flight Attendant's position on the list.

2. During the Month - Time Accrued Reserve System (TARS). Once the month has begun, the following considerations will apply in the nightly preparation of the Flight Attendant reserve list for the next day's flying:

a. The Reserve List will be arranged in time accrued order. b. All reserve assignments shall be made by computer in accordance with time accrued order except as otherwise provided in this Article. c. When two (2) Flight Attendants have the same amount of time accrued, the flight assignment will be made on the basis of preference(s). If each Flight Attendant has either no preference or identical preferences, the first in/first out principle will be applied. If there is still no difference, the most senior Flight Attendant will be assigned first. d. For purposes of assignments under the Time Accrued Assignment System, credited time for any planned absence, e.g., vacation, will not be considered until after the planned absence has occurred. e. When a Flight Attendant is returning from an absence or removal of any kind, his/her relative position on the reserve list will be determined by his/her credited time accrued as of the date of his/her return. f. Assignments to sick make-up and/or Limited Option II flying, and/or flying accomplished under the provisions of paragraph D.2.b. of this Article (Optional Exchange), will not change a Flight Attendant's relative position on the reserve list. g. Hours credited for flying relinquished under the provisions of paragraph D.2.a. of this Article, Optional Exchange (OR drop) will be included in time accrued order for the purposes of determining a Flight Attendant's relative position on the reserve list.

I. RESERVE AVERAGE DAILY UTILIZATION

Reserve average daily utilization is an hourly figure reflecting the optimum average credited hours for a reserve Flight Attendant on a day-to-day basis. It is calculated at two hours forty-five minutes (2:45) per calendar day in a thirty (30) day contractual month, or two hours forty-minutes (2:40) per calendar day in a thirty-one (31) day contractual month. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the reserve average daily utilization range is figured by applying a buffer of plus or minus three (3) hours to the reserve average daily utilization and is detailed in the chart below:

1. Assignment Preferences. For the purposes of assignment in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.K., a reserve Flight Attendant may indicate one (1) or more of the following preferences:

a. Co-Terminal. A trip or standby assignment at one or more co-terminals (at applicable bases) in order of priority. b. Departure Time. A trip departure time, or standby sign-in time, which falls within a designated AM or PM window. c. Trip Duration. A trip of a specific duration (1,2,3 or more days). d. Layover City. A desired layover city or cities. e. Additional or Expanded Preferences. The Company and the APFA may mutually agree upon additional or expanded preferences.

2. Ready Reserve Preferences. For the purposes of assignment to Ready Reserve in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.L. or assignment to a sequence while on Ready Reserve Status, a reserve Flight Attendant may indicate one (1) or more of the following preferences:

a. Long Call Ready Reserve. A Flight Attendant assigned Long Call Ready Reserve will not be assigned to a trip sequence which signs in prior to 1200, local base time. b. Short Call-Out. A willingness to be contacted out of time accrued order for the purpose of assignment to a trip sequence which departs in less than two (2) hours. A Short Call-Out preference can be to a specific co-terminal. c. Duty-Free Slide. A willingness to be contacted out of time accrued order for the purpose of assignment to a trip sequence which would cause a conflict with a planned duty-free period as permitted under the provisions of Article 9.L. d. Release Assignment. Reserves may be given release assignments for a stipulated period of time, depending on the requirements of the Company.

K. RESERVE ASSIGNMENTS - CALL-IN COVERAGE

Call-In Coverage refers to those reserve assignments made for the following day and which are made known to reserve Flight Attendants via the automated method as provided in Article 10.N.

1. Assignments. All reserve assignments shall be made by computer in accordance with time accrued order except as otherwise provided in this Article. Upon contact with the Company, a reserve Flight Attendant will be advised that s/he has been given one (1) of the following reserve assignments:

a. Standby Assignment b. Specific Trip Sequence c. Ready Reserve Status Assignment d. Long Call Ready Reserve Assignment e. Release Assignment
