1. Bidding & Reserve Move-Up Lines:
RSV Monthly Maximum Hours & Opting
If you are awarded a Reserve Line, the maximum number of credited flight time hours to which you may be scheduled in the bid period is one hundred (100). However, at the time you bid, you may indicate if you would like to opt to
➢ One hundred and five (105) hours, or
➢ Over one hundred and five (105) hours (unlimited) for the month.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A FLIGHT ATTENDANT MAY OPT ONLY TO INCREASE THE MONTHLY MAXIMUM. THEREFORE, ONCE YOU ELECT TO OPT, THE MAXIMUM WILL REMAIN AT THE SELECTED LEVEL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH.
Should a Reserve choose to opt to 105 hours or over 105 hours, they can do so in one of the following ways:
During the bidding process by selecting your opting preference on the Primary Line Bidding screen in CCS as shown in the next image.
2. Anytime during the bid month by updating preferences on the Opting screen under General Settings in CCS as shown below.
3. Anytime during the bid month by calling either FAST or Crew Scheduling.
4. Anytime during the bid month by making a Ready Reserve preference for Maximum Flying.
5. By trading a pairing assigned by Crew Scheduling with a Lineholder, which causes the Reserve to pick up additional time.
A Reserve is not Opting if the increase in time results from a trade with another Reserve.
A Reserve is not Opting if they pick up a trip on a day off from open time or another Flight Attendant in which case the value of that trip is placed in Add Pay and does not count towards their monthly maximum.
