Contract Implementation Update #46
Block of Reserve Days Off
CBA 10.D.13.d.46

A new bidding property for Reserves is ready for implementation! Block of Reserve Days Off (CBA 10.D.13.d.46)  allows a Reserve Flight Attendant to bid for a block of days off, regardless of where this block would fall in the month. This new property will allow you to tell PBS, “I would like this many days off together (two to eight), no matter where they fall in the month,” and this will be awarded if available at your seniority.

Property Details

This property can be used in each Layer of PBS when bidding Reserve as well as in conjunction with specific days off. Under the RSV Days Off tab, this property will appear on each Layer. If you would like to bid this property in multiple layers, you may do so by clicking the Layer drop-down.

You may select a number of days off ranging from two to eight. PBS will attempt to award the number of days off consecutively in the layer you have requested.

If you use a specific day off bid in conjunction with this property in the same layer, PBS will first attempt to award the specific day off prior to your requested block of days off. This ensures that when you need that specific day off, you can still use this property without jeopardizing your plans.

When viewing the Reasons Report after PBS awards are posted, the Reasons Report will simply state which layer each Block of Reserve Days Off was processed.

With this new property, reserve days off awards are still required to follow the contractual pattern rules in CBA 10.D.16.b, including Flex Day/Golden Day patterns. Refer to APFA.org for additional information on pattern rules.
