Volunteering to be Assigned into Days Off
_ _ _ _ _ _
In addition to Ready Reserve preferences and Co-Terminal preferences, the Ready Reserve Preference screen in CCS will also provide a means for Reserves to volunteer to be assigned into their day(s) off in exchange for the applicable Add pay:
➢ Volunteer to be assigned into first day off: (RV1) Reserves select this option to indicate they are willing to be assigned into their first day off in the next block of days off. Reserves who are assigned a trip that is scheduled to end on their first day off, will have that day off restored and will receive 5:00 hours of Add Pay in addition to regular pay.
➢ Volunteer to be assigned into one or more days off: (RV2) Reserves select this option to indicate they are willing to be assigned into two or more of their days off in the next block of days off. Reserves who are assigned a trip that is scheduled to return on the 2nd or 3rd day off, will have the days off restored and receive Add Pay equal to the actual value of the trip flown in addition to regular pay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: VOLUNTEERING TO BE ASSIGNED INTO DAYS OFF DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY OPT THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT TO THE MORE THAN 105 HOURS (UNLIMITED) MONTHLY CREDIT MAXIMUM.
Flight Attendants who select either of the options may only be assigned into days off when there are no other Reserves in the geographic base who are legal and available to be assigned and able to report in accordance with established call-out procedures set forth in Section 8.K. of the Contract.
➢ International Purser Reserves may be assigned into days off prior to an available non-International Purser Reserve if the qualification is required for the pairing.
➢ LQ Reserves may be assigned into the first day off prior to an available non-LQ Reserve if the qualification is required for the pairing. LQ Reserves may not be assigned into the second or more days off if there is a legal and available non-LQ Reserve in the base.
Volunteer requests are also entered on the Ready Reserve Preference screen in CCS, which may be accessed in the manner described earlier. Once there, again select the “Edit” icon for the day of availability from which you would like to volunteer to work into days off, then use the “Day Off” drop-down menu to indicate your volunteer selection, as shown below. Click the “Save” button. The volunteer election will be updated and displayed.
