Reference D.1. `A' position can only be claimed if the flight has actually flown the trip on an aircraft that does utilize multipositions. `A' position does not apply to any pay classified as deadheading.

EXAMPLE: Surface transportation time cannot be claimed as `A' position. Deadheading cannot be claimed under D.1.

8. Reference E, Reference grievance 03-99-2-18-03 (Mandatory meeting pay). A FA will be paid mandatory meeting pay, when a meeting is classified as "mandatory" and requires all f/a’s on the property to attend the meeting either before or after a check-in, check-out, or on a day off.

Reference F. Scheduled deadhead means the deadhead time as published by crew scheduling.

EXAMPLE: A FA is not paid for "actual" deadhead time if there is a delay after departure from the blocks. Only the original scheduled deadhead time is paid.

Deadheading to and from training that is part of the final bid award will be paid under the provisions of the contract.

EXAMPLE: Deadheading for training is paid in addition to training pay if deadheading is required in the same day as classroom training. The FA will be paid scheduled deadhead plus classroom training.

EXAMPLE: Deadheading appears on a schedule that calls for the FA to deadhead from DEN to ORD. The FA chooses not to report to DEN but instead elects to position herself from ATW to ORD, even though deadheading is part of her schedule, she cannot claim the deadhead credit from either DEN or ATW to ORD.

EXAMPLE: With the approval of Inflight Management, two FA’s voluntarily split a trip that requires deadheading to and from ORD. Neither FA may claim deadheading for the positioning required since it was the result of a voluntary request.

Deadheading only applies to the flight(s) scheduled by the Company, or designated by the Company. Commuting is not deadheading.

EXAMPLE: A FA is scheduled to deadhead on a flight from ORD to MLI. Due to rerouting, mechanical, or other problems the flight is missed. The crew is then designated to fly another flight. This now becomes the scheduled deadhead.

EXAMPLE: A FA is scheduled to deadhead on a specific flight and is requested to wait in order to accommodate a revenue passenger or another crewmember. The FA agrees to comply with the request. Deadhead pay will be applicable on the new flight to which she is assigned.

Deadhead pay when credited, applies toward the monthly guarantee for both lineholders and reserves.

Reference G.1. The minimum guarantee of three and one half (3½) hours credit applies towards scheduled (published) trips for both lineholders and reserves.

Minimum guarantee does not apply for any trips of less than three and one half (3½) hours created as a result of a voluntary request by a FA.

EXAMPLE: A FA with a scheduled trip of five (5) hours requests voluntary splitting

of the trip with another employee. The request is approved by Crew Scheduling and the result is that each FA will fly 2 ½ hours. Neither may claim the three and one half (3½) hour minimum guarantee. The same applies for breaking the trip so that only one person would claim such time. It is not the purpose of the minimum guarantee to create any greater trip time liability than was originally published.

For purposes of minimum day only, trips, either scheduled or unscheduled may end as late as 0200 (off duty) and not be considered as required payment of the minimum daily guarantee.

EXAMPLE: A trip begins at 1930 and is scheduled to fly 1:55 and is released at 0045. Since the trip ends prior to 0200, the minimum guarantee will be considered three and one half (3½) hours for that duty period.

EXAMPLE: A trip begins at 2145 and is scheduled to end at 0400. The guarantee for that duty period will be seven (7) hours since a portion of day one is in one calendar day and the other portion ends later than 0200.

EXAMPLE: A trip is scheduled to end at 2340 and due to weather, mechanical, or re-routings extends to 0115. During the day less than three and one half (3½) hours was flown. A minimum of three and one half (3½) hours will be paid, but the FA would not be eligible to claim another three and one half (3½) hours since release from duty was not later than 0200.

EXAMPLE: A trip is scheduled to end at 2340 and due to weather, mechanical, or re-routings extends to 0215. The FA may claim of three and one half (3½) hours minimum credit for the period beyond 0200. If the FA is scheduled to fly later in that day, the three and one half (3½) hours will apply towards what is flown. It cannot be claimed in addition to any other scheduled flying.

Reference H.3. Training must appear on the final bid line in order for credit to be given.

EXAMPLE: All lines on the bid schedule contain training. A FA who is not due for such training, or who for some reason will not be required to complete it will have the training dropped from her final bid award.

Reference I. A FA who reports for a trip which cancels, and who requests to be released from Time Available status, will be paid one (1) hour Reporting Pay.

Drafting Pay: Additional Examples in Section 11.

EXAMPLE: A FA is drafted on a trip with actual block of two (2) hours, credited time of three and one half (3½) hours. If she elects to take time and one half, her pay will calculate to be 3.5 hours x 1.5 = 5.25 hours.

EXAMPLE: A FA is drafted on a trip and works three (3) hour blocks and fourteen (14) hours of duty. If she elects to take time and one half, pay will be 9.33 hours.

EXAMPLE: In January 2001 a FA is drafted for a two-day trip. The actual block for the two days is 4 hours. The minimum day credit is 3.5 x 2 days for 7 hours. The duty time for each day is 10 hours each day for 4.44 hours each day, a total of 8.89 hours. The total trip time away from base is 40 hours. This provides a payment of trip rig of 10 hours (40 divided by 1/4 trip rig). If the FA elects to be paid time and a half, the pay for this drafted trip will be 10 x 1.5 = 15 hours.

EXAMPLE: A FA is drafted for a stand up overnight and she elects to take time and one half. Since a stand-up overnight is worth seven (7) hours, minimum pay will be ten and one half (10.5) hours.

EXAMPLE: A FA has two days off and is drafted for a two (2) day trip. She has the option to receive time and one half or another two (2) days off with no loss of pay. These two (2) days must be mutually agreed upon.

A. Paid times for 5^th and 6^th and trip guaranteed for 7^th and 8^th .

A FA will be paid 18 hours (1.5 x 12 = 18), or paid 12 hours straight time and drop a day later in month and be paid trip guarantee for that day.

~ If she prefers another day off, she will still be paid above the guarantee at straight time and will select another day off.

Resequencing Pay: (additional examples in Section 11.)

Ten hours straight block paid for trip of greater value, trip 412 > 410. Paid 1 1/2 block between 7:15 and 9:15 on Monday. Paid 1 1/2 block after 1700 on Tuesday.

A FA is resequenced and extends past the two (2) hour window, all credited time outside the two (2) hour window was deadheading. The FA will be paid time and one half for all credited time (deadhead time).

EXAMPLE: A FA who is actually on duty for 13:30 hours will be paid six (6) hours or she will be paid scheduled or actual credited time, which ever is greater. The scheduled or actual time is part of the line guarantee. The duty rig is only the actual time on duty.

Effective January 2001, a FA who is away from domicile for two (2) days, forty (40) hours, will be paid the greater of scheduled or actual credited time, minimum day pay, duty rig or trip rig. Trip rig would be ten (10) hours.

Reference N. In evaluating any losses of time that would create pay the FA will never be compensated for two pay provisions in connection with any incident that would pyramid costs or pay. In cases where 'greater of' provisions apply, the calculation of pay will always be based on a comparison of time lost versus time granted.

EXAMPLE: A FA reports for work and her trip is subsequently canceled. She is told to go home and remain on a time available status. If she does not fly she will receive pay for the trip lost. If she does fly she will receive pay for the greater of the trip lost or trip flown. She cannot claim reporting pay in addition to the time lost.

EXAMPLE: A FA may claim the three and one half (3½) hours minimum guarantee once in a day, except in cases of "standup overnight" as defined in the Section 11.N. of the FA Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Reference O., Holiday Pay: The additional pay for time and a half will not be considered credited time for purposes of dropping to fifty-five (55) credited hours.

EXAMPLE: On November 24^th I am scheduled to fly an out-n-back. I am extended until 0300 on the 25^th, I will be paid straight time on the 24^th and will be paid time and a half for the 3.5 hours on the 25^th.

EXAMPLE: If I am scheduled to fly on Thanksgiving Day and the trip cancels, I will be paid time and a half for the scheduled trip.

EXAMPLE: If I am scheduled to work a trip on Thanksgiving Day that is blocked at 2:20 hours, receiving 3.5 minimum day, I will be paid time and a half for 3.5 hours.

A reserve will not be paid holiday pay if they are not called out to duty.

Reference 7.A. FAs will only be required to double up in unusual circumstances and only when all crew members are required to share rooms.

Reference 7.B. The ability to occupy a hotel room in Chicago will be determined by the total layover, scheduled or actual time. If the amount of time necessary to accomplish this will provide the FA with at least 4 hours at the hotel, the accommodations described will be provided.

The Company will make an exception to this provision when and if: The pilots are provided with a day room during a 4 ½ hour break. Single occupancy will be provided when obtainable at a daily rate not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00); otherwise, double occupancy will be furnished.

In cases where double occupancy is provided based on the guidelines set forth, such will be offered, except that male and female FAs will never be required to share accommodations.

A FA who shows at her domicile for a trip wherein the first round trip is canceled is not entitled to accommodations under the provisions of the "four hour layover rule", however, the FA is on duty for duty time and trip guarantee provisions. The Company may, subject to its discretion and circumstances, opt to provide hotel accommodations.

Reference 7.E. Transportation offered by the motel/hotel involved in the layover will be deemed as adequate and problems pertaining to the service will be directed to Inflight Management.

If transportation is provided specifically for an entire crew, it will be the responsibility of the crew members to establish pick up times in order to assure an on time arrival at the airport. The company will not be obligated to provide separate transportation for FAs and pilots unless the requirements of one group is appreciably different from the other.

The Company assumes no responsibility to provide the crew with transportation simply because of the duration of the layover.

Reference 7.F., Parking: This section refers to providing parking at the FA's domicile.

The Company is not obligated to provide parking at a FA's residence city, however, upon the FAs request the Company will reimburse the FA for parking at an alternate location up to the amount which would have been paid at domicile. The parking receipt is required for reimbursement. Inflight Management will work with the FA to assist if possible with these conditions; however, the Company will not assume any additional reporting liabilities in order to accomplish this. The Company will never falsely represent an individual as being based in a city in order to secure such a permit.

Reference A. In November of every year a FA can elect to buy or sell vacation. However, she must have the approval from his/her manager or department head prior to submitting the form to Employee Relations.

The manager will evaluate the following items prior to approval and after inflight vacation bid has closed:

Reference A.1. In determining the availability of time for bidding. The FA will be evaluated from the first date she was employed in the year through the 31st of December and budgeted to bid for that time.

0-1 year 1.75 hrs. per month (up to 7 days)

1-6 years 3.50 hrs. per month (14 days)

6-11 years 5.25 hrs. per month (21 days)

11-19 years 7.00 hrs. per month (28 days)

19-20 years 7.50 hrs. per month (30 days)

EXAMPLE: A FA hired on July 5 will have a vacation accrual date of July 1. She will be budgeted for her accrual from July 1 through December 31 and be allowed to bid for that time anytime during the next year.

EXAMPLE: A FA available throughout the year (having no loss of credit due to non-pay status such as extended maternity provisions) will be able to bid all days accrued during that year in the next year. If her accrual rate changes during the course of the year, an adjustment will be made for the period of the higher rate and budgeted accordingly.

Reference B. A day of vacation is worth three hours (3:00) to an FA.

EXAMPLE: A FA has seven (7) days of vacation in a month. This seven (7) days of vacation is worth twenty-one hours (21:00). Her awarded line has flying over five (5) of the vacation days with a total time dropped of 17:00 hours. The FA will be paid and credited with 21:00 hours for the period.

Reference C. If the FA has seven (7) days or fewer, all days must be taken in a consecutive period within a month.

If the FA has eight (8) to thirteen (13) days of vacation, two periods may be taken. No period may contain fewer than four (4) days.

If the FA has fourteen (14) days or more of vacation, the time may be divided into a maximum of three periods, none which may contain fewer than four (4) days.

If a FA has more than twenty-one (21) days of vacation or more it may be divided into four (4) periods.

EXAMPLE: A FA with nine (9) days of vacation may take: One nine (9) day period, or; two periods, one of five (5) days and one of four (4) days.

EXAMPLE: A FA with 14 days of vacation may take: One 14 day period, or: Two periods of 7 and 7; 8 and 6; 9 and 5, or 10 and 4. Three periods of; 4, 4, and 6 or 5, 5, and 4.

Reference D. It is the intent of the Company to offer vacation time in each month. It is not required that an equal amount of time be offered in each month, or that time must be made available in each week in the month. Vacation allocation is used in order to accommodate all vacation that has been budgeted, and to provide for consistent staffing throughout the year. Vacation availability may vary from domicile to domicile throughout the year.

Reference E.3. Vacation is accrued throughout the year. It is not budgeted for the year ahead. FA's cannot use vacation as it is earned on a `day at a time' basis.

EXAMPLE: A FA has a seniority date of July 8, 1999. In accordance with A.3., the adjusted accrual date will be July 1, 1999. Between that date and December 31, 1999, the FA will accrue 10.50 hours of vacation (@ 1.75 hours per month). She will be allowed to bid for 3.5 days (4 days) during the vacation bid period in 1999 for use in 2000. During the bid period in 2000 for 2001 vacation she may bid for the 3.5 days accrued from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000, and for 7.0 days accrued from July 1, 2000 through December 31, 2000.

Reference E.4. Bidding will be conducted over three (3) bid periods. The term `mutually agreed upon' relates to an agreement between the Company and the Union that in the event that a domicile is of a size that two or one bid periods would be sufficient, or if a larger domicile exists where an additional bid period might be necessary, that this section may be amended to deal with the particular situation.

Reference E.4. The formula for determining break points will be to add up the amount of days in the domicile that will be bid. Divide the number by three (3), or however many bid groups exist, and divide the groups accordingly. The break point will be the number closest to the person at the dividing point whether it is higher or lower. An individual will bid her entire period within the bid group assigned.

Reference E.5. A FA that fails to bid by the published bid time will have the provisions of E.7. apply.

Reference E.6. A FA can only bid one (1) vacation period in a month as defined in the definition section of the contract. The same provisions apply to the movement or trading of vacations, except if the movement provides for one continuous period off.

EXAMPLE: A FA requests a five day period from August 30 through September 3. The bid will not be considered since it involves two separate bid months.

EXAMPLE: A FA with a vacation period of April 21 through April 25 requests to move her other vacation from September to April 14 through the 19th. This would not be permitted since there is a break from the 19th to the 20th. If a greater liability is not created she may readjust the vacation from the 15th through the 20th since this would create a single vacation block.

EXAMPLE: A FA fails to bid by the deadline for her group (Group 1). She will be placed at the bottom of all other employees bidding for vacation. She will be assigned the first chronological vacation opening as determined by the Company. If other FAs fail to bid, she will be assigned a vacation period in chronological order in inverse seniority order. That is, the most junior person failing to bid will be given the first available opening, the next most junior the second available opening, and so on. The assigned slots may not necessarily be those shown as originally available for bid if the Company chooses to close a particular period off from forced assignment.

Reference F. The term `subject to the approval of In Flight Customer Services' means with coordination and does not imply that reasonable approval may be withheld.

Reference F.1. The trading of a vacation period with another FA who is working will normally be approved providing that the trade does not constitute a greater degree of coverage liability than already existed, or where as a result of changes to a domicile, reduced liability would be considered desirable. Vacation adjustment requests must be submitted no later than the first of the month prior to month requested.

EXAMPLE: A FA with five (5) days vacation for the 5th to the 10th of a month wishes to trade that period with a person holding the 15th through the 20th in a later month. Such a request will normally be granted.

EXAMPLE: A FA with five (5) days vacation from the 5th to the 10th of the month wishes to trade that period with a person holding a six (6) day period in a later month. The request would normally be approved providing that the movement of the six (6) day period into the earlier month does not create an overlapping of time that would not have occurred previously. On a monthly basis, Crew Scheduling may determine that an additional overlap may not cause problems and still approve the trade.

Reference F.3. A FA may move her vacation to any available bid award if the movement is "forward" in the year. If she wants to move it back during the year, the supervisor must review it to make sure it doesn't create any greater liability to the Company.

Reference G. The movement of a vacation period will be conducted in accordance with the policy stated. In the event that it becomes necessary to cancel vacation within a domicile, the cancellation will be accomplished in inverse seniority order without regard to where the vacation had been bid, Reference 8.H.

Reference I.1. A FA cannot simply request to carry vacation over from year to another. All vacation earned during a year will be budgeted and must be bid and used in the following year. Reference I.3. for handling of situations where the Company has requested postponement of such vacation. Reference I.1. and 2. Pertaining to resignation/termination:

EXAMPLE: A first year FA earned seven (7) days of vacation in 1986 and bid for use of such time in September of 1988. The FA resigns with notice effective June 30th. The seven (7) days of vacation will be paid out, and the seven (7) additional days accrued at the 2 year + rate from January 1 through June 30 will also be paid.

EXAMPLE: A first year FA earned seven (7) days of vacation in 1987 and bid for use of such time in September of 1988. The FA resigns without giving fourteen (14) days notice effective June 30. The seven (7) days accrued from January 1 through June 30 will not be paid.

EXAMPLE: A FA is terminated for cause effective September 15. She has five (5) days of vacation earned in 1997 remaining for use from November 1 through 5. She has accrued twelve (12) days of vacation from January 1 through September 15. The five (5) days earned in 1997 will be part of the final settlement, the twelve (12) days accrued will not be paid.

Reference I.3.

EXAMPLE: A FA was scheduled for vacation in June. As a result of additional flying the Company requests that individuals voluntarily cancel vacation during that period, or if necessary cancels vacation. Since the cancellation took place prior to October 31st, the FA must bid an alternate period during the year, or the Company will assign.

EXAMPLE: A FA was scheduled for vacation from November 10 through 16. As a result of staffing changes additional personnel are required to maintain the integrity of the schedule and the vacation must be canceled. The FA may:

EXAMPLE: A FA has seven (7) days of vacation from June 5 through June 11. The FA has a two-day trip operating on June 4/5, a two-day trip on June 9/10, and a three-day trip operating June 11/12 and 13. The trip of June 4/5 will be dropped since the second day conflicts with the first day of vacation. The trip of June 9/10 will be dropped since it falls entirely within the period, the trip of June 11/12 and 13 will be dropped since the first day of the trip conflicts with the last day of vacation. Total time credited for the vacation will be twenty-one hours (21:00) (7 days times 3:00 per day).

A day of flying is considered to be in connection with the day the trip begins operation based on standard scheduling practices. A trip that begins at 1800 on the day before a vacation period starts, and is released prior to 2400 will not be considered as part of the vacation period since it ends prior to 2400. The trip would not be dropped from the FA's schedule.

1. Reference A.

EXAMPLE: A FA who has completed probation calls in sick for a two day trip worth ten (10) hours, eight (8) hours in hard block. Two (2) hours is deadhead. The FA will receive ten (10) hours of pay for the trip, which is deducted from her sick leave bank. The FA must have the accrued amount in her sick leave bank.

EXAMPLE: A FA calls in sick for a one (1) day trip worth 3:30 credited time, two (2) hours is hard block. The FA will receive three and one-half hours (3-1/2) hours of pay for the trip, which is deducted from her sick leave bank.

A FA who is absent for the entire month will receive seventy (70) hours of pay from her sick leave bank.

EXAMPLE: A reserve FA who has completed probation has flown fifty (50) hours on reserve duty days and fifteen (15) hours on scheduled days off. She calls in sick for two (2) reserve days. She will be paid eighty-five (85) hours. 3.5 x 2 days = seven (7) hours will be deducted from her sick bank. (70 hours reserve guarantee plus 15 hrs. over guarantee on days off = 85 hours.)

A reserve FA absent for the entire month will be paid seventy (70) hours of pay from her sick leave bank.

If a FA calls in sick for a trip worth eight (8) hours credited time but only has accrued six (6) hours in her sick bank, she will only receive six (6) hours of pay.

A FA will only be charged sick time against her sick bank for the scheduled duty days she called in sick.

EXAMPLE: A FA is furloughed on June. 1. She will accrue additional sick leave through June 30. If her current sick leave bank is 30 hours as of the date of furlough, she will have thirty-three and one half (33.5) hours upon her return from furlough.

EXAMPLE: A FA requests and is granted a leave of absence. The leave begins on June 1 and continues until August 31. She will be credited with three and one half (3.5) hours of sick leave for the period June 1 through June 30, and will accrue sick leave after she has completed a full month of service from September 1 through September 30.

If a FA is able to get back into her trip, the Company will provide her with positive-space, on-line. Any off-line, positive space travel will be at the discretion of the Company. In addition, any other expenses, including hotels, that the FA may incur as a result of getting back into her trip will be her responsibility. Deadhead pay will not apply when a FA is working back into her trip.

Reference G. A FA cannot use any sick time until she has completed her probationary period. This would be from date of hire through her sixth full month of service.

EXAMPLE: A probationary FA is hired on April 1 and is holding a line. On July 6th she calls in sick for a 15-hour trip. This reduces her line guarantee from seventy-two (72) to fifty-seven (57) hours. The FA is not eligible to use sick leave. She will be paid for fifty-seven (57) hours.

EXAMPLE: A probationary FA is hired on April 1 and is holding a reserve line. On July 6, the FA calls in sick for three (3) days on call and three (3) days where she was scheduled free from duty. She eventually flies sixty-two (62) hours for the entire month. She will be paid for sixty -two (62) hours. Explanation: 70 hour

EXAMPLE: A FA is hired on April 1 and is holding a reserve line. On July 6 the FA calls in sick for two (2) days on call and three (3) days where she was scheduled free from duty. She eventually flies forty-eight (48) hours for the entire month. She will be paid for sixty-three (63 hours. Explanation: 70 hour guarantee minus 7 hours of unavailability = 63 hours. Actually flew 48 but paid adjusted guarantee of 63 hours.

EXAMPLE: A FA is hired on April 1 and is holding a line. On September 25 she calls in sick for 15:00 hours of flight time through the end of the month. She actually flies sixty-one (61) hours for the month and is paid for 61 hours. Her illness continues into the

following month. She calls in sick for ten (10) block hours of flight time at the beginning of October on a line guarantee of seventy-five (75) hours. She flies sixty-five (65) hours for the month. She may claim 10 hours of sick leave in October since she had now passed her six months. She may not claim any of the sick time from the previous month.

Reference H. The maximum sick leave that may be accrued is four hundred (400) hours. The purpose of the provision that allows a FA to borrow sick leave is to provide protection against loss of income during serious illness or injury. It is not meant to be used for day at a time illness.

In order to use the provision of this section, a FA must request in a written form to borrow a specified number of hours. A PSC (Personal Status Change) form will indicate an understanding that the time borrowed is to be paid back from accrued sick leave account, and that the FA is responsible for payment in full of all time owed if she resigns or is terminated for cause.

A FA will not be eligible for the borrowing of sick time until both her accrued sick leave benefits and her Company-provided short term disability (STD) benefits – both of which run concurrent for a 26 week period of time – are exhausted. Borrowed sick time will be "paid back" to the Company as sick leave accrues. Should the FA separate from the Company before sick time borrowed is paid back, all monies still owed will be deducted from her final paycheck.

Reference I. A FA will have the option of not using sick leave. If the FA desires not to use sick leave, she will complete the required form and indicate that such is her desire. A FA is required to give a general description of the reason for the sick calls; i.e. surgery, flu, etc. and estimated time off work.

Reference J. The company will monitor the use, nature and patterns of sick calls by employees of the department and will if necessary conduct appropriate investigations into the validity of any request to use sick leave.

The Company will evaluate each employee on an individual basis when requesting verification of illness or injury.

EXAMPLE: During a holiday the Company may contact the FA and after the discussion may determine that it is not necessary to send her to the doctor.

Reference K. In Flight Services management is charged with the monitoring of sick calls and in verifying illness or injury in questionable instances. This may require that local or departmental management request verification. The request to see a physician or other qualified personnel in a particular instance does not come under the provisions of Section 20 of the contract, which deals with general physical examinations. The Company will pay the amount of any required physical in this instance not covered by the employee’s insurance.

A FA may take approved family medical leave for spouse or dependent illness, however, only Wisconsin based FAs may use paid sick leave for family medical leave other than personal illness or injury. As mandated by state and federal laws.

Reference L., Grievance ARW 29-1-30-89 and ARW 29-2-13-93: The Company agrees that Crew Scheduling will not harass a FA who calls Scheduling to be replaced for work. The Scheduler will not respond by saying that she cannot be replaced because no reserves are available.

Reference A. The ninety-five (95) hour maximum applies to actual block time flown during the month. It does not include deadhead credit, minimum day, line guarantee, or any other credit other than actual flying.

Reference Grievance ARW 29-2-10-91 and ARW 29-2-11-91: A FA shall not be scheduled nor shall she exceed ninety-five (95) actual block hours per month.

It is the responsibility of Crew Scheduling to monitor flight time and insure that no one exceeds ninety-five (95) block hours. A FA will not be replaced simply because she is approaching the ninety-five (95) hour level.

Reference A.2. A FA can waive the (95) block hour cap up to a maximum of one hundred (100) block hours.

Reference D. The duty limitations shown apply to scheduled time and not actual on duty.

When a FA has been resequenced, she may not be scheduled for greater than the duty limitations.

Grievance ARW 29-2-32-92, ARW 29-2-16-93, ARW 29-2-5-94 and ARW 99-2-18-900: A FA will not be scheduled for more than fourteen (14) hours.

Reference F.1. Bid lines will be built with a minimum of eleven (11) days off. If a schedule is inadvertently issued with less than the minimum, the FA holding such line can expect that a trip will be taken from the line between the award and the final posting. Crew Scheduling will send out a system message for posting on the crew bulletin boards indicated which trip(s) would be dropped once the error is identified to them. Time dropped to accommodate an additional day off requested by the FA will be dropped without pay.

Reference F.2. If as a result of integration of the schedule a FA has a published final bid award with fewer than eleven (11) days off, Crew Scheduling will upon request, drop a sufficient number of trip(s) to re-establish the line at the required levels. The request must be made prior to beginning the first scheduled trip of the month.

Grievance 03-28-1- 38-02: When a line drops to minimum days off due to training. These adjustments may take place during the first three (3) days of the month or any time during the month at the company’s discretion.

EXAMPLE: A FA bids and is awarded a line with eleven (11) days off. As a result of flying the second and third day of a three (3) day trip that began on the last day of the previous month she is now scheduled for nine (9) days off. The final bid award will be published showing the full integration and all trips on the final bid award schedule. Prior to flying the first day of the first trip that was originally published on the bid schedule, she may request an adjustment that would bring her into compliance with the eleven (11) day rule. If she fails to do so, she has waived her right to request the adjustment at a later date. The request may be directed to any Crew Scheduler. The FA should always obtain the name of the person, in writing, to whom the request was directed. This policy does not preclude the removal of scheduled trips based on other contractual requirements such as the maximum consecutive days on duty.

EXAMPLE: When integrating training into a FA’s schedule and the accommodation of days off

Reference F.4. Bid lines will not show more than six (6) consecutive days of flying without a full day off at the domicile.

Reference F.5. At the time of schedule integration Crew Scheduling will evaluate a FA's line and will take steps prior to the final published bid award to adjust her line and ensure that she will not be scheduled to fly more than six (6) consecutive days without a full day off at the domicile. The adjustment will take place in the future month.

EXAMPLE: A FA has a three day trip on the 27th/28th/29th of April, and a single day trip on the 30th. The May schedule reflects the beginning of a three day trip on the 1st. This would place the FA in a situation where she would be scheduled to fly from the 27th through the 3rd, a seven (7) day period. Crew Scheduling will drop the May trip, or a portion thereof to give the FA a calendar day off. Scheduling may place other trips over the same working days onto the line.

Reference Grievance 99-2-18-88: A FA who picks up time in the earlier month at transition prior to the final bid award does not waive the "more than six (6) consecutive days rule". The adjustment will take place in the future month.

A FA that elects to waive the initial deadhead of a scheduled trip may call crew scheduling four (4) hours prior to the scheduled check-in and begin the trip at the new location. The FA must meet the :45 minute check-in as stated in Section 10.B. of the FA agreement at the new location.

Exceptions to this rule will not be unreasonably denied.

1. Reference A. The Committee will be advised when the aircraft routing schedule is finalized. It is the responsibility of the Committee to provide the personnel required in order to participate in the program. Crew Scheduling is not obligated to assume any greater cost or personnel liability in order to accommodate the Committee system.

2. Reference B.1. Crew Scheduling shall make every effort to comply with the guidelines set forth in the contract under this section and under D.2. In the event that any situation develops that will make meeting the deadlines impractical, or if a substantial adjustment to the marketing schedule is anticipated, members of the Scheduling Committee and/or the MEC/LEC will be contacted.

Reference B.5: Bids will not be published for more than 380 trip hours in a month.

Reference C.2., Grievance ARW 29-2-15-93: Relief lines will be posted by the designated dates as outlined in Section 11.

Reference D.2. Posting of the bids will be considered as the placement of the information in the Apollo system. Efforts will be made to ensure that a ‘hard copy’ of the awards is posted on crew bulletin boards. This will be done within twenty-four (24) hours of the official closing of the bids. Crew Scheduling and Inflight Management will not provide telephone information concerning the awarding of the bids.

Grievance ARW 99-2-11-93: Final bid awards will be published by the designated dates as outlined in Section 11.

The Company will make a copy of the awards available to Union representatives who may, at their discretion, establish a telephone information system to be manned by Union personnel.

Reference D.3. Crew scheduling or IFCS will not mail bids to individual residences or forward bids to other stations. It is the responsibility of the FA to obtain sheets and forms on her own.

Exception: If a FA has been placed on temporary assignment outside of her regular domicile, Crew Scheduling will supply two (2) copies of the bid sheets directly to the FA(s) at the location of the temporary assignment.

Reference D.4. The list of FAs anticipated to be on the schedule will be posted by Inflight Management. Any information pertaining to partial time off will be shown on this list or published on the back of the bid schedules. Either crew bulletin boards and/or the bid schedule are deemed adequate for this section.

Reference D.5. Inflight Management will take the position that Flica bids submitted represent the intentions of the person and will take precedent over phone-in bids. No paper bids will be excepted. The following practices will be applied to the handling of bids.

EXAMPLE: A FA places a bid on Flica. She changes her mind and calls in a revision but does not change her bid on Flica. Flica still takes precedent over the phone in bid.

Grievance 99-2-37-01: Call-in bid deadline will occur at 1700L the day before scheduled bid closure.

The only time a person will be permitted to bid outside of their domicile, other than EXTREME emergency conditions, will be in connection with bidding, which takes place during initial training of a class, where they have not been positioned prior to the bid deadline.

Inflight Management will consider alternate bidding arrangements in the event that a FA is not stationed at the domicile where she will bid as a result of a temporary assignment.

Reference D.6. If no bid is received in the prescribed manner for a particular FA, she will be assigned to any remaining line after all other FAs within the domicile have been awarded their bid. In the event that more than one person fails to bid, the awarding of lines will be handled by giving the most senior person the lowest numbered remaining line and continuing until all lines have been awarded.

EXAMPLE: Three FAs domicile seniority 21, 24 and 25 fails to bid by the deadline. Upon completion of all bidding, line 16 (B position on a 146), 17 (A position on a 146) and line 29 (reserve) are remaining. Line #16 will be awarded to seniority 21, line #17 will be awarded to seniority 24, and line 29 will be awarded to seniority 25. Crew scheduling and/or Inflight Management will not take responsibility for making any determination of which line is better or more suited to the needs of a person failing to bid. Awarding of lines in this circumstance will be completed as shown above.

Reference D.7. Any changes required, as a result of incorrect awarding of lines will be corrected as quickly as possible. Changes will be shown in the computer and posted on crew bulletin boards. If practical, Crew Scheduling will take steps to contact individual FAs affected via telephone or crew mailboxes.

The requirement to change the bid award of an individual, does NOT reopen the entire bid process: Late bids will not be reconsidered simply because other changes were made as a result of an earlier error in the initial award of lines. Changes will be made for FAs that had provided insufficient bid choices and were assigned as a result. They will have their bids re-evaluated along with other bids affected by the change.

Grievance 03-28-2-8-00: The Company will agree that in the future if a line is not printed on a final bid, the Company will rebuild the affected FA’s line with the trips that were inadvertently placed in open time from their original bid. The FA will be guaranteed pay for the time she had bid.

Reference D.9., Grievance ARW 99-2-10-90: The Company will provide the final bid awards to designated union representatives.

Reference E.1. The ten percent (10%) figure is determined by taking the total number of domicile FA hours and establishing ten percent (10%) of that figure. The hours will be determined by flight time known to exist when the marketing schedule has been finalized.

Reference E.2. Grievance #2 and #10: The Company will post random charters in open flying. In addition, the Company, as much as possible will place reoccurring charters in one line of flying, if unable to place into open flying.

Reference E.3. Open flying will be posted in the computer under the city from which the trip will originate. As with other open flying the trip may be picked up from any domicile based on the seniority of the person(s) involved, however, NO additional cost or staffing liability will be assumed based on such a request.

Reference E.5. The four (4) day rule pertains to all open time available after the schedule integration and relief lines are completed.

EXAMPLE: Bids close on the 16^th of July, finals come out on the 20^th of July. The four-day window is the 20^th through the 24^th. The trip will be awarded to the senior most FA requesting the trip after the four day window closes.

EXAMPLE: A single day trip worth 6:57 is placed in open flying on the 10th to be flown on the 23rd. A FA scheduled to fly a two (2) day trip on the 22nd/23rd worth 5:45 requests to drop the trip of the 22nd/23rd and pick up the single day trip of the 23rd based on the additional flight time. It will be at the discretion of the Crew Scheduler whether to approve the trade based on the requirement for additional coverage on the 22nd. In the event that there is a request from a FA holding either a single day trip on the 23rd or is off entirely, this request may be approved in connection with the trip and provisions of the contract.

EXAMPLE: Two FAs request to pick up open flying on the 18th of the month. One is from the domicile where the trip will originate; the other is from another domicile. Crew Scheduling will award the trip to the most senior person requesting the assignment. If the trip is awarded to the person from outside the domicile based on seniority, any additional costs that would be required, such as hotel, deadheading, or transportation will be borne by the FA. Reporting requirements will apply as though the person was domiciled in the base from which the trip originates.

Grievance ARW 03-28-2-14-03: The Company will try to ensure that UAL/AirTran flight modifications are communicated to AFA if these changes occur after the posting of initial open time and before closure.

Reference E.7. Once a trip has been picked up from open flying Crew Scheduling will not normally approve any additional trading or dropping of that trip(s) unless they subsequently conflict with other contractual obligations.

Reference E.8. and F. Time available employees may be used out of seniority order to cover open flying, so long as it complies with the time available rules.

Reference E.9. Open flying may be used in order to cover extensive training liabilities during the month.

EXAMPLE: An initial training class is in session. It is known that I.O.E. requirements

will require extensive use of a particular aircraft type during the month. Crew Scheduling may withhold a certain number of trips from the bid lines in order to accommodate this liability.

Reference F.1. A FA on a time available status because the Company has accepted an obligation to pay her for time that has been canceled. Crew Scheduling and Inflight are obligated to attempt to have the non-productive time minimized by assigning other flying if possible.

Reference F. 2. and F.3. Crew Scheduling is obligated to comply with the guidelines established in the contract regarding the assignment and use of a time available FA.

EXAMPLE: A FA is contacted at home and advised that her trip is canceled for the following day. The single day trip was scheduled to operate from 0800 to 1800. Crew Scheduling advises her that she has been placed on a time available from 0800 to 1200 on the following day. At 1130 on that day she is advised that she has been assigned a trip that is scheduled to begin at 1400 and continue until 2300.

EXAMPLE: Since the trip returns more than three (3) hours later than she was originally scheduled, the Company must break the trip in order to comply with the provisions of the contract, since she must be released from duty by 2100. Deadheading that might be required to accomplish this will not be considered as `scheduled' for pay purposes. The FA may request the balance of the trip and may be awarded it under trip pick-up provisions.

EXAMPLE: Two FAs are contacted and advised that their trip for the following day has been canceled. Crew Scheduling determines that one FA will be on time available from 0800-1200 and the other from 1200-1600. Other operational considerations notwithstanding, such as one being off the following day while the other is scheduled for an early morning trip, the decision as to which FA will be assigned to the time available periods will be made by offering the choice to the senior FA first.

Reference F.5. With the approval of Crew Scheduling time available status may be waived providing that the line guarantee provisions are waived, except in instances where the FA has already reported. In this case the one (1) hour reporting pay would not have to be waived.

EXAMPLE: A FA reports for a trip worth 4:50 minutes for the day starting at 0600 and going until 1600. Two hours after reporting she is advised that her trip has been canceled. She is placed on a time available status from 0800 until 1200. If she is not used she will be paid 4:50. If she flies a trip of less than 4:50 she will be paid 4:50. If she flies a trip of more than 4:50 she will be paid for the actual time flown. If she requests to waive her time available status, and its associated guarantee she will be paid her 1:00 reporting pay and then be released from duty and further flying.

Reference G. The purpose of Crew Scheduling is to ensure that the aircraft are properly staffed and that the rules and regulations of governmental bodies are followed, and that contractual requirements are met. A secondary function of Crew Scheduling is to handle the requests of individual crew members to adjust their schedules for personal reasons. The purpose of establishing guidelines for the processing of these adjustments is to provide Crew Scheduling and the FA with a means of addressing both the primary and secondary functions of Crew Scheduling personnel.

Reference G.1.a. The term 'Approval will not be unreasonably withheld' means that if the FA has complied with the basic guidelines set forth and Crew Scheduling can react to

the request in a timely fashion, that the request will be granted based on all facts provided. Trades will not be approved or disapproved based on personal considerations pertaining to the specific employees involved.

Reference G.1.b. and c. Trades are considered to become part of the final bid line of the FAs that have traded and increase or decrease their line guarantee as is applicable. This applies to lineholders only. All guarantees associated with the adding of the time will apply, and a decrease in line guarantee is applicable to the FA that has lost time as a result of the trade.

EXAMPLE: A FA with a line guarantee of 74:00 trades a 5:00 hour trip for a 3:45 trip with a FA having a line guarantee of 76:00. The first FA now has a line guarantee of 72:45 the second FA now has a guarantee of 77:15. For purposes of line guarantee and any compensation and requirements for time available status pertaining to these trips, they are now part of each individual FA's final bid award.

Reference G.1.d. Crew Scheduling will not allow any trade to occur that will place a FA below 55:00 hours or her monthly adjusted guarantee if it has been reduced.

EXAMPLE: A FA holding a line worth 70:00 has been suspended for five (5) days. Her loss of time as a result has reduced her line guarantee to 57:30. During the month her projection is 62:00 hours and she is requesting to drop a 4:00 hour trip. This request may be approved since her adjusted time would now be 58:00 hours or :30 minutes above her guarantee.

EXAMPLE: A FA has traded a trip on the 5th/6th for a trip on the 13th. Later in the month she requests to trade a trip on the 21st/22nd for a trip on the 23rd. As a result of the earlier trades she has lowered her projected time to 54:30. This trade would involve an additional loss of 2:00 hours flight time. The trade will be denied based on falling below 55 hours.

Reference G.1.e., Reference grievance 03-99-2-17-04 (Unlimited Trip Trades): The Company agrees that a flight attendant can trade all trips on their line, provided the entire line of flying is not traded to the same flight attendant.

Reference G.2.a. Trip adds represent trips specifically picked up from open flying and are different from trip trades. In order for a trade to exist it must involve the switching of one trip with another. Time picked up as a result of an add becomes part of the FA's line guarantee.

EXAMPLE: A FA has picked up a trip from open flying. She reports and the trip departs. As a result of a mechanical problem the trip subsequently cancels. The FA may claim the trip under the provisions trip cancellation and may be scheduled under the provisions of time availability.
