If you are trying to trade two trips, each of which have one (1) or more days that are negative, you may do so if:

• The Existing Trip has a greater cumulative sum Reserve Coverage than the Desired Trip, and 

  • If the Existing Trip occurs later in the month, its lowest Reserve coverage day can be no more than 5 lower than the lowest Reserve coverage day on the Desired Trip, or 

  • If the Existing Trip occurs earlier in the month, its lowest Reserve Coverage can be no lower than the lowest Reserve coverage day on the Desired Trip. NOTE:This trade must be executed at least 7 days prior to the first day of the Existing Trip. 

• Finally, both trips must have blocked days

All trip trades involving carryover pairings will be handled pursuant to the rules of paragraph 7.N.7. of the JCBA. 

The beginning Reserve Coverage for days in carryover trips occurring in the following bid month will be considered to be zero (0). 

When a Flight Attendant trades off a day in a carryover trip which occurs in the following bid month, the Reserve Coverage will be reduced by one (1). 

When a Flight Attendant picks up a day in a carryover trip which occurs in the following bid month, the Reserve Coverage will be increased by one (1).
