Required Trainings (11.B.7-9., 11.D.1. and 11.E.2-4.) 

Required training shall be scheduled in the form of a “training pairing.” Training for Reserves will be scheduled on Reserve days of availability, and Reserves may request specific Reserve days on which they would prefer to be assigned. 

Picking Up Training Pairings 

Reserves should contact FAST at 1-800-FLT-LINE (option 1, then option 2) during the Real-time trading windows to have a training pairing added to their schedules at the beginning or end of a block of Reserve availability days. (As a reminder, the Real-time trading window opens in two-hour staggered brackets which are listed in the bid packet Cover Letter for each Domicile every month.) 

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF A RESERVE DOES NOT CALL FAST, BEGINNING ON THE 6TH DAY OF THE BID MONTH THE TRAINING TEAM WILL IDENTIFY AND ASSIGN A TRAINING PAIRING FOR THE RESERVE. 

Pay 

Reserves shall receive the flight time pay and credit value of the training pairing toward their monthly line value, however, flight time credit for training and associated deadhead travel will not count towards monthly flight time maximums. In addition, RIGs shall not apply to training pairings. 

Trading 

Once scheduled for training/meeting dates, a Reserve may trade for any open dates in the same bid month or trade with another Reserve with approval from Scheduling. All trades must be completed at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the start of any training or general meeting, and Flight Attendants must be able to complete all training prerequisites.
