Q: Will I be on straight Reserve if I was hired after date of signing (December 13, 2014)? – LAA
A: The new JCBA Reserve rotation will not be implemented until PBS, which is expected to occur for LAA no sooner than January 2017. No Flight Attendant who is currently employed by American Airlines will serve straight Reserve once PBS is implemented.
When PBS begins for LAA, a Flight Attendant who has not completed 12 months with the company will finish out those 12 months on straight Reserve. ONLY new hire Flight Attendants hired in the same year of PBS Implementation will be subject to straight Reserve for the remainder of their first twelve months.
Example: If a new hire Flight Attendant graduates from new hire training in February 2017, and PBS is implemented in May 2017, new hire Flight Attendants would be subject to straight Reserve from May 2017 until February 2018, which would be the completion of their 12 months after initial training.
Example: If a new hire Flight Attendant is hired in June 2017 and PBS was implemented in May 2017, that new hire Flight Attendant will serve 12 months of straight Reserve. Section 12.A.3.
