Going On/Off Reserve on the Last Day of the Month (Section 8.H.6.) 

When going on or off Reserve at the end of the month, special availability and assignment rules apply on the last day of the old month: 

➢ When going from Lineholder to Reserve status, A Flight Attendant who is on a day off on the last day of the old bid month and is assigned Ready Reserve for the first day of the new bid month will be phone available at 2000 for assignment to pairings departing after midnight. 

➢ When going from Reserve to Lineholder status from one month to the next, if you are on a Reserve day of availability on the last day of the month and have any time left in the month, you may receive a multi-day assignment departing before midnight on that last day. This is true even if it works you into days off in your Lineholder month or causes you to miss or be illegal for your first trip as a Lineholder in the new month. Any legality problems in the new month should be taken care of upon completion of the pairing. 

• Reserves who have enough Reserve days of availability from one month to the next to cover the assignment must be used before using a Reserve going into a Lineholder month. 

•  If it is necessary to assign a Reserve into their Lineholder month, it should be done in the order that is “least disruptive to the operation.” In other words, Reserves going into Lineholder days off will be assigned before those for whom such an assignment would cause them to be illegal for their next scheduled trip, for example.
