b. The Flight Attendant(s) with the lowest time accrued possessing the required qualification(s) will be assigned to standby reserve duty subject to the provisions of Article 10.

M.

c. A reserve Flight Attendant will not be involuntarily assigned, during any one month, to standby duty for a second time, until all other reserve Flight Attendants at the base who are legal and available for such assignment have been so assigned at least one time. Subsequent standby assignments shall be allocated among reserve Flight Attendants in the same manner. It will be the Flight Attendant's responsibility to inform Crew Schedule of the number of standby assignments held during the reserve month. d. In the event a Flight Attendant is qualified for two (2) or more standby assignments with the same requirements pursuant to a. above, and which differ only in sign- in time and/or co-terminal as applicable, the Flight Attendant will be assigned the standby which best meets her/his preferences as provided in J.1. a. and/or J.1.b. above, if any.

3. Specific Trip Sequence. Following the assignment of standby, trip sequence assignments will be made to reserve Flight Attendants. A Flight Attendant will be assigned to a specific trip sequence based on the credited value of the trip sequence, or the Flight Attendant's preferences, or a combination of the two, according to her/his accrued hours compared to the average utilization as detailed in Article 10. I. above.

a. Flight Attendants Outside Utilization Range (1) A reserve Flight Attendant whose accrued hours fall outside of the utilization range as detailed in Article 10. I. above will be assigned to the highest time trip sequence assignment for which s/he is legal and available. (2) If there are two (2) or more trip sequences of equal time which qualify as the highest time trip sequences, the Flight Attendant preference(s) as provided in Article 10.J.1. above, if any, will be considered when assignments are made. b. Flight Attendants "Within Range". A reserve Flight Attendant whose accrued hours fall within the utilization range as detailed in Article 10.I. above will be assigned the highest time trip sequence which meets his/her preferences as provided in Article 10.J.1. above, if any. If the Flight Attendant has not entered any preferences into the system, or if no trip sequence which meets his/her preferences is available, s/he will be assigned to the highest time trip still open.

4. Ready Reserve Status/Long Call Reserve. Following the assignment of trip sequences, reserve Flight Attendants without assignment may be assigned to Ready Reserve Status or Long Call Ready Reserve, depending on manning needs as determined by Crew Schedule.

a. A Flight Attendant who is placed on "Ready Reserve Status" is required to be available on short notice. Depending upon the reserve Flight Attendant's relative position on the reserve list and the requirements of the Company, a Flight Attendant assigned to Ready Reserve Status may be released by Crew Schedule for a stated period of time at his/her request. Prior to undertaking any activity that would affect the Flight Attendant's ready reserve obligation, a Flight Attendant must have the approval of Crew Schedule. Crew Schedule will set a time for the period of unavailability, and, at the end of this period, the Flight Attendant must return to Ready Reserve Status so as to be available for assignment. 84 b. A Flight Attendant assigned to Ready Reserve Status may determine her/his relative position on the reserve list via a means provided by the Company, however, the provisions of a. above remain in force at all times. c. A reserve Flight Attendant who is placed on "Long Call Ready Reserve" is considered a Ready Reserve Flight Attendant but is required to be available for and will be obligated to fly any legal trip sequence which she/he is subsequently assigned and which signs in no earlier than 1200 local base time. (1) Crew Schedule will determine the number of Long Call Ready assignments, if any. (2) Long Call Ready assignments, if any, will be made in seniority order from among those reserve Flight Attendants placed on Ready Reserve Status and who have requested Long Call Ready as provided in Article 10.J.2. (3) Notwithstanding (2) above, no Flight Attendant will be eligible nor assigned Long Call Ready who has only one (1) day of reserve obligation or planned absence. (4) The Long Call Ready Flight Attendant is not required to maintain contact prior to 0800 local base time. (5) All other provisions for Ready Reserve Flight Attendants, including a. and b. above, apply to Long Call Ready Reserve Flight Attendants.

5. Release Assignment. Reserves may be given release assignments for a stipulated period of time, depending on the requirements of the Company. If release assignments are available, the Company will release reserve Flight Attendants with a preference for a release assignment on the basis of highest accrued time.

6. Override of Time Accrued Computer Assignment. Crew Schedule may override the time accrued computer assignment of reserve Flight Attendants only for reasons of qualification, and/or utilization as described below.

a. "Released for Qualifications/Availability". A reserve Flight Attendant may be bypassed for assignment and released because s/he is needed later in the month for reasons of availability or qualification. Such override shall be reflected on the Flight Attendant's monthly activity record and indicated when the Flight Attendant receives his/her assignment notification with the reason for the override, e.g., released for language qualification. b. "Saved for Qualifications/Availability". A reserve Flight Attendant may be bypassed for a flying assignment and placed on Ready Reserve Status because s/he is needed because of a specific qualification or availability. Such override shall be reflected on the Flight Attendant's monthly activity record and indicated when the Flight Attendant receives his/her assignment notification with the reason for the override, e.g., saved for language qualification. c. Duty-Free Slide. A reserve Flight Attendant may be assigned out of time accrued order in the event the operation requires an assignment of a Flight Attendant to a trip sequence which would conflict with a planned duty-free period under the provisions of Article 9.L.5. or 7. 85 (1) When assigning a Flight Attendant under the provisions of Article 9.L., the Company may assign the Flight Attendant with the lowest time accrued, who has indicated a preference for a duty-free slide as provided in Article 10. J.2. above. (2) If no Flight Attendants have indicated a preference for a duty-free slide, assignments under Article 9.L. will be made in normal time accrued order. d. 24-in-7 Override. A TARS override may be made to avoid a potential 24-in-7 conflict with the next month's flying in accordance with Article 7.I. of this Agreement.

L. READY COVERAGE

Ready Coverage refers to those reserve assignments made for the same day, or for the following day, to Flight Attendants assigned to Ready Reserve Status or Long Call Ready Reserve. All reserve assignments will be made by computer in Time Accrued Order except as modified in this paragraph, e.g., Overrides for reasons of qualification and/or utilization, and/or Flight Attendant standing preferences as defined herein.

1. Qualification/Utilization. A reserve Flight Attendant may be assigned out of time accrued order or bypassed for a flying assignment because s/he is needed because of a specific qualification or availability.

2. Long Call Ready. A reserve Flight Attendant may be bypassed for a flying assignment because of restricted availability according to her/his Long Call Ready status pursuant to Article 10. K.4.c. above.

3. Short Call Out. A Flight Attendant may be assigned out of time accrued order in the event the operation requires an assignment of a Flight Attendant to a trip sequence which is scheduled to depart in less than two (2) hours.

a. When assigning a Flight Attendant under this provision, the Company may make the assignment to the Flight Attendant with the lowest time accrued, who is otherwise legal and available and who has indicated a preference for a Short Call Out as provided in Article 10.J.2.b. above. In making such assignment to a Flight Attendant indicating a preference for a Short Call Out, the Company will consider the stated co-terminal preference(s), if any. b. If there are no Flight Attendants who are legal and available who have indicated a preference for Short Call Out, such assignments will be made in normal Time Accrued Order. 4. Duty-Free Slide. The provisions of Article 10.K.6.c. above will apply.

M. STANDBY RESERVE DUTY

4. Maximum Standby Period Without a Specific Trip Assignment. A reserve standby Flight Attendant shall not be required to remain at the airport for a period in excess of six (6) hours without being given a flight assignment scheduled to depart within the six (6) hours.

5. Limitations on Standby Assignments. A reserve Flight Attendant will not be involuntarily assigned, during any one month, to standby duty for a second time, until all other reserve Flight Attendants at the base who are legal and available for such assignment have been so assigned at least one time. Subsequent standby assignments shall be allocated among reserve Flight Attendants in the same manner. It will be the Flight Attendant's responsibility to inform Crew Schedule of the number of standby assignments held during the reserve month.

N. RESERVE CALL-IN ASSIGNMENTS

Reserve Flight Attendants will be provided an automated method of obtaining and acknowledging reserve assignments. All reserve Flight Attendants will be required to call-in to the Company for assignment at a specified time each day (Company designated call-in period) prior to a day of reserve obligation, except as provided below for a Flight Attendant who is on a duty-free period, vacation or legal rest at home base station.

1. Designated Call-In Period. The designated call-in period will be determined by the requirements of the Company and will be made available to reserve Flight Attendants. The call-in period may vary by base as determined by the Company. Changes in a designated call-in period(s) will not occur without notification to the Flight Attendants at the affected bases and will be noted on the monthly allocation.

2. Confirmation of Assignment - Off Duty Periods. The following will apply to a reserve who is on a duty-free period, vacation or legal rest at home base station during the entire designated call-in period and has elected not to call-in during such off duty period for assignment.

a. Legal Rest at Home Base Station. In the event the designated call-in period is entirely within a reserve Flight Attendant's legal rest period at home base station and such Flight Attendant has elected not to call-in for assignment during the designated call-in period s/he must contact the Company at the end of the on-duty period which triggered the legal rest period to advise the Company that s/he will accept his/her next reserve time accrued assignment. Should the Flight Attendant elect this option, s/he must contact Crew Schedule for assignment no later than immediately following the conclusion of his/her legal rest period. A Flight Attendant who has elected this option is not precluded from contacting the Company during the designated call-in period. 87 b. Duty-Free Period/Vacation. In the event the designated call-in period is entirely within a reserve Flight Attendant's duty-free period or vacation and such Flight Attendant has elected not to call-in for assignment during the designated call-in period, s/he must confirm his/her next reserve assignment by contacting the Company no later than immediately following the conclusion of such period of unavailability. c. Conclusion of All Off Duty Periods. A reserve Flight Attendant on an off duty period as provided for in paragraphs a. and b. above is responsible for his/her time accrued assignment(s).

The Company may elect to waive the one (1) hour report time as provided in Article 7.L.

O. REQUIRED RETURN FROM VACATION

A reserve Flight Attendant will not be required to return from his/her vacation until the time when s/he is required to be available to Crew Schedule for reserve assignment.

P. ORDER OF OPEN TIME COVERAGE

The provisions of Article 9.L. will be applicable.

Q. FLIGHT TIME PAY/CREDIT FOR TRIPS NOT FLOWN

For purposes of computing maximum monthly flight time limitations under this Article:

1. Paid Absences. A reserve Flight Attendant will receive four hours and ten minutes (4:10) pay and flight time credit in a thirty (30) day contractual month (three hours and fifty-six minutes [3:56] in a thirty-one [31] day contractual month) for each day of reserve obligation spent in paid meeting(s), paid classroom training, vacation, special assignment, union leaves, personal emergency, and paid sick leave.

2. Unpaid Absences. A reserve Flight Attendant will receive four hours and ten minutes (4:10) flight time credit in a thirty (30) day contractual month (three hours and fifty-six minutes [3:56] in a thirty-one [31] day contractual month) for each day of reserve obligation while on unpaid sick, personal leave, and suspension.

R. PURSER/FOREIGN LANGUAGE DRAFTING PAY

A Flight Attendant who is drafted out of seniority to a trip selection or onto reserve due to his/her Purser/language qualification shall receive the monthly earnings of the trip selection or reserve hours flown or the trip selection denied, whichever is greater, in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.M. of this Agreement.

S. RESERVE ROTATIONS

1. Regular Rotations. Each base maintains reserve duty records comprised of the junior Flight Attendants at the base. The number of Flight Attendants required to serve reserve is dependent upon the needs of the service, as determined by the Company.

a. Once having completed a full month of replacement, Flight Attendants will serve reserve on a one (1) month on/one (1) month off reserve rotation for a period of three (3) years. If needed as a reserve after this period, they will serve reserve on a one (1) month on/three (3) months off rotation. 88 b. If additional Flight Attendants are required to stand reserve duty, they will be selected in reverse order of seniority. Their reserve duty will not exceed one (1) month on/three (3) months off.

2. Senior Bump. Seniority permitting, a Flight Attendant may change his/her assigned reserve month by bidding all reserve selections first (before regular selections) in a month that s/he would not be on the assigned reserve list. This procedure is known as "Senior Bump." When a Flight Attendant bids onto reserve out of regular rotation, it changes his/her future reserve cycle with one exception: Flight Attendants who are on reserve by their own choosing (bidding on) the same month they are on an approved vacation or PLOA have not fulfilled their reserve obligation.

a. When a Flight Attendant desires to initiate "Senior Bump@, s/he must indicate such preference on his/her bid ballot. b. Flight Attendant(s) who are planned on reserve but desire to be bumped off should bid a regular trip selection(s) and/or reserve selection(s). The Flight Attendant's desire will be honored only if there is a Flight Attendant who is desiring "Senior Bump" above or below his/her seniority who has not already bumped a more senior Flight Attendant off reserve. c. Should the number of Flight Attendants desiring to bump onto reserve exceed the number of Flight Attendants desiring to bump off reserve, the junior Flight Attendant(s) may be displaced from the planned reserve list. d. Flight Attendant(s) who are bumped off or are displaced from the planned reserve list will be considered available for the next month's reserve rotation.

3. Transfer: Effect on Rotation. If a Flight Attendant transfers to a base where his/her seniority places him/her in the reserve duty group, s/he will be scheduled on reserve the first full scheduling month that s/he is at the new base. Such assignment shall be irrespective of previous service as a reserve at the former base.

4. Vacation/PLOA: Effect on Reserve Rotation a. A Flight Attendant who is granted a vacation or approved leave of absence for part or all of the month during which s/he would normally be scheduled for active reserve duty will be considered as fulfilling his/her obligation for an entire month's service as an active reserve and will maintain his/her normal position in rotation. The above shall not apply to a Flight Attendant who bids reserve out of his/her regular rotation. b. No reserve Flight Attendant will be granted a personal leave, except in conjunction with his/her vacation, until all leaves have been granted to Flight Attendants with monthly flying assignments. Once these leaves have been granted and there is still an overage, reserve Flight Attendants may be granted a leave.

T. RESERVE DAYS OFF SELECTION/BIDDING

Reserve days off selections will be posted for bid by reserve Flight Attendants at each base. Selections will indicate the duty-free periods, provided in paragraph F. of this Article. Unselected reserve assignments will be assigned in reverse order of seniority.

U. ADDITIONS TO RESERVE LIST

89

1. If, because of a transfer, sick leave, personal leave, vacation or other extended absence, it is necessary to assign additional Flight Attendants to active reserve duty during the month, such additions will be made in accordance with the following:

a. Flight Attendants who are displaced from reserve on original bid awards, b. Flight Attendants who bid off reserve, c. Flight Attendants who were alerted on the monthly trip selection of possible designation to reserve.

2. If a Flight Attendant is added to the active reserve list during the month and serves for only part of that month, the partial service will be considered as fulfilling his/her obligation for an entire month of reserve duty.

V. RESCHEDULING/IRREGULAR OPERATIONS

If a cabin crew is to be split because of a reschedule and a reserve is a member of the crew, the reserve should be rescheduled prior to a regularly scheduled Flight Attendant.

W. MINIMUM PAY AND CREDIT

The provisions of Article 8 shall apply except as modified herein.

X. MONTHLY ACTIVITY RECORD

A reserve Flight Attendant's monthly activity record shall reflect Specific Trip Sequence Assignments, Standby Assignments, Ready Reserve Status Assignments, Long Call Ready Reserve Assignment, Release Assignments and/or any overrides made by Crew Schedule.

Y. "CHASE" FLIGHT ATTENDANT

1. At bases flying wide bodied equipment, reserves flying Purser and/or galley for the first time may request a "chase@ and may be granted a "chase" at the option of the Company.

2. 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" assignment.

3. If it becomes necessary to remove a Flight Attendant from reserve duty for a "chase" assignment, pay, credit and trip expenses will be issued for the trip or trips involved in the "chase" assignment.

Z. FLIGHT ATTENDANT MEETINGS/TRAINING

1. A Flight Attendant on the active reserve list is not excused from attendance at Flight Attendant meetings. S/he will be scheduled to attend the scheduled meetings on a day on which s/he is available and shall be in uniform ready for flight assignment.

2. A Flight Attendant on the active reserve list will have emergency procedure training pre-plotted on the backside of a duty-free period on the reserve selection. If necessary, such training assignments may be changed by the Company to meet the requirements of the operation. The Company will make every effort to change such assignments prospectively from the date originally scheduled.

3. Notice of mandatory meetings/training affecting specific reserve Flight Attendants shall be posted on the cover of the monthly trip selection.

90

4. Paragraph 3. above, will not apply should a Flight Attendant trigger training in any manner.
