Other Considerations When Picking Up a Trip on Reserve Days Off 

There are also a few considerations to remember anytime a Reserve elects to pick up trips on days off, whether from Open Time or from other Flight Attendants. 

➢ Reserves may only pick up a pairing after they have been released to that specific block of days off by Scheduling. Pairings may not be picked up in advance when there are intervening days of availability that remain; even in the case of Set days off or days off that immediately follow a period of vacation. 

➢ Reserves may not pick up a pairing that departs on a Reserve day, even if they have already been released for the remainder of that day. 

➢ Reserves may not pick up pairings on days in which they have been awarded a Personal Drop (PD). 

➢ Reserves may not pick up pairings on Reserve days vacated when trading an assigned pairing with another Flight Attendant for days off. (Reserves may, however, have the vacated days and associated guarantee restored to availability days, with the exception of the first day.) 

➢ When a Reserve picks up a trip on their day off they are considered Lineholders from report to debrief of the pairing. These Flight Attendants: 

• Cannot be displaced. 

• Will not receive Reserve override pay for the pairing picked up. 

• Will be subject to re-assignment in the event of a cancellation. 

➢ Reserves may pick up pairings on days off using the Trip Trade/Pick-Up waiver rest described in Contract Section 6.V.2. and 6.W.3. It should be noted that the waiver rest only applies between pairings; it does not apply between a pairing picked up on days off and a day of Reserve availability that immediately follows. In other words, a full minimum legal rest must be used to determine legality by 0700 or 0400 of the next scheduled Reserve day, as applicable under Sections 8.L. and 8.M. respectively. 

➢ Once a Reserve picks up a pairing, it cannot be traded with either Open Flying or another Flight Attendant (except a position trade on the same pairing), but it can be given (directly or through advertisements) to another Flight Attendant in exchange for days off by contacting Crew Scheduling. 

➢ A Reserve may not pick up pairings outside of the geographical base. 

➢ The 35-in-7 and 1-in-7 legalities shall be considered waived if necessary to pick up a trip on a day off. 

• Picking up a pairing cannot result in a Reserve being scheduled with less than 24 hours rest in a 7-day period (FAR 121.467). 

➢ The value of the pairing picked up will be placed in Add Pay and be paid in addition to any applicable Reserve guarantee. The pairing credit will not count towards the Reserve guarantee, monthly maximums, or time accrued. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN A RESERVE PICKS UP A PAIRING ON SCHEDULED DAYS OFF, THERE WILL BE NO MINIMUM DAY OFF RESTORATION FOR THE DAYS ORIGINALLY COVERED BY THE PAIRING. IF THE TRIP IS DELAYED OPERATIONALLY INTO SUBSEQUENT DAYS OFF, HOWEVER, THESE ADDITIONAL DAYS SHALL BE RESTORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7.R.
