Out of Base Standby Reserve (Section 8.N.6.)
When the Company determines a need to provide coverage in another base, Reserves may be assigned to Standby Reserve in a base other than their home base. These assignments are known as “Out of Base Standby” Reserve.
Out of Base Standby assignments will be built as a pairing. Reserves may be assigned to work or deadhead into the base requiring Standby Reserve coverage. An example of an Out of Base Standby pairing is shown below. You will notice a period of “DUTY” is used to indicate the Standby period at the out of base location.
Upon arrival at the visiting base, the Reserve will immediately contact Crew Scheduling to be advised of one of the following:
➢ Further assignment within the same duty period, the duty time maximum of which is based on the check-in time at the home base and adheres to the “Scheduled” duty maximums provided in our Contract Sections 6.S and 6.T.
➢ Further assignment which follows a period of legal rest with hotel accommodations.
➢ Assignment to a four (4) hour standby period either within the same duty period or following a period of legal rest, during which up to four (4) pre-boarding duties may be assigned.
➢ Release to legal rest with hotel accommodations, after which time the Reserve may be contacted for further assignment.
Other Out of Base Standby Provisions
➢ Upon arrival at the base the Flight Attendant is visiting, if assigned a Standby position in the same duty period:
The same assignment, release, Standby pay and pre-boarding rules that apply to home base Standby, will also apply to Standby periods out of base.
The Reserve will be paid in accordance with the terms of Section 6.A. of the Contract for any flying in the duty period.
If no assignment is given during the Standby period, the Flight Attendant will receive the greater of pay and credit under the terms of Section 6.A., or the value of flying actually flown in the duty period plus four (4) hours pay and credit for the time spent sitting standby.
➢ Pairings assigned to an Out of Base Standby Reserve will be scheduled to terminate at the home base of the Reserve.
➢ If not assigned a pairing during the last period of Standby, an Out of Base Standby Reserve will be returned to the home base by the most direct route.
➢ A Reserve may only be assigned to one Standby position per duty period.
