➢ Assignment into Regular Days Off
➢ Assignment into Regular Days Off
It is possible that a Reserve may be assigned from the home domicile into one or more days off that are not designated as Set, but only once the following conditions have been met:
First, there must be no other Reserve in the geographical base who is legal, available and able to report within the call-out timeframe set forth in Section 8.K.2 of the Contract (including any Ready Reserve or Standby Reserve) with the following exceptions:
International Purser Reserves may be assigned into days off prior to an available non-International Purser Reserve when the International Purser qualification is required for the pairing to which assigned.
Language Qualified (LQ) Reserves may be assigned into the first day off prior to an available non-LQ Reserve if their language qualification is required for the pairing. Language Qualified Reserves may not be assigned into the second or more days off if there is a legal and available non-LQ Reserve in the base.
Once it has been determined that there is no other Reserve in the geographical base who is legal, available and able to report, Scheduling must then look for Reserves at home who have volunteered to work into days off, in which case they will be assigned into days off prior to those who have not volunteered.
When a Reserve is assigned from the home domicile into days off, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the days off will be restored in accordance with Section 8.I.1.i. of the Contract:
➢ The day(s) off will be restored at the end of the block of days off; or
➢ If the day(s) off are at the end of the month and there are no days available to restore, they will be restored on the next Reserve availability day in the following month, or the day(s) off will be restored according to Section 7.R. if the Flight Attendant will be a Lineholder in the following month. When a day off is restored in the new month, this will not impact the Reserve’s guarantee in either month.
➢ The Company may not make assignments that would require more than 2 days to be restored in the following month.
➢ A Reserve may not be assigned into a day off that has been restored (OFFR).
Reserves who are assigned from the home domicile into days off using the above procedures, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, will receive the following pay in addition to normal flight pay:
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE INCENTIVE PAY IS PLACED IN ADD PAY IN AN AREA OF THE MASTER SCHEDULE AND DOES NOT IMPACT THE CREDIT VALUE OF THE LINE OR THE MONTHLY MAXIMUM.
➢ “Assigned” Into Days Off vs. “Delayed” Into Days Off
➢ “Assigned” Into Days Off vs. “Delayed” Into Days Off
It is important to distinguish the difference between a Reserve who is “assigned” into days off and operational circumstances that cause a Reserve to be “worked” into days off:
➢ A Reserve is considered “assigned” into days off when the pairing is initially assigned at the home domicile, and after the conditions outlined in Section 8.I.1.f-i. have been met.
➢ A Reserve is considered “delayed” into days off when, due to operational circumstances that occur once the pairing has commenced, it is not possible to return the Flight Attendant to the home base in time to be released from duty prior to midnight of a scheduled day off. In such cases, the Flight Attendant is entitled to day off restoration as provided under Section 8.I.1.m., however, there is no associated Add pay.
