Moving Between Reserve and Lineholder Status (Section 8.O.9.) 

Reserve to Lineholder 

Reserves assigned to Lineholder status for the next bid month will remain on Reserve status until released by Crew Scheduling. This will occur following the required legal rest at the end of the last trip assignment of the bid month in which they are a Reserve or the last day of the bid month, whichever is later. This includes trips that carry over from one month to the next. Lineholder days off in the new month will only be restored as a result of carry-over trips if the Flight Attendant’s days off are reduced below the applicable minimum. 

Lineholder to Reserve 

Lineholders who are assigned to Reserve status for the next bid month will maintain Lineholder status until completion of the required rest following any trips that began in the Lineholder bid month. This includes trips that carry over from one month to the next. All conflicting Reserve days off in the new month will be restored as a result of carry-over trips so that the published amount of days off remain. The request to restore days off in the new month due to a carry-over pairing must be made prior to commencing said pairing, otherwise the days off will be considered waived.
