Reserve Vacation Fly Through (Section 12.I.) 

At their option, Reserves may elect to fly during their scheduled vacation. Any vacation time elected as Fly Through will be paid as “Add Pay” and is paid in addition to the Reserve guarantee. The type of fly through and the manner in which it is administered is determined by when the election is made: 

➢ Non-Operational Fly Through requests must be submitted no later than 1000 HDT on the 5th day of the calendar month prior to the month the vacation is scheduled to begin. When a Flight Attendant elects for non-operational fly through and is awarded a Reserve line, the line will be awarded with the originally scheduled days on and/or off as they appeared in the bid packet with no Vacation days. The value of the Vacation days will appear and be paid as Add Pay. 

➢ Operational Fly Through requests may be made by contacting Inflight Admin (FAST) at 1-800-FLT-LINE (option 1, option 2) or via CCS Virtual Chat any time after schedules have been awarded for the month where the vacation occurs. When a Flight Attendant elects for operational fly through after having been awarded a Reserve line, the Vacation days will be removed and will become days free from availability (“OFF”). The value of the Vacation days will appear and be paid as Add Pay. The Reserve minimum guarantee will be reduced by the value of any Reserve days of availability (4:07/4:20) that were encompassed by the vacation period, with the exception of unpaid flex vacation days. Reserves may only pick-up trips within the vacation period from another Flight Attendant (unless otherwise permitted by the company) once they have been released to the block of days off by scheduling.
