Effective DOS (June 2026 bid month)

16.C.1.  - MONTHLY BIDDING PROCESS AND RULES FOR JOB SHARES AND PARTNERSHIP FLYING (Line Division)

The following rules apply to Flight Attendants in a job share or partnership:

16.C.1.a.

Both Flight Attendants must submit a monthly bid.

16.C.1.b.

The Company shall award lines of flying based on the seniority of the senior Flight Attendant in the job share or partnership.

16.C.1.c.

Within forty-eight hours (48:00) after a line of flying has been awarded, the Flight Attendants shall divide the line, through CCS (or future equivalent), so that the line value is shared as evenly as possible without splitting any trips or block of reserve days unless one block must be split to evenly divide the line. 

16.C.1.d.

A Flight Attendant in a job share or partnership is limited to a monthly maximum of fifty-five hours (55:00) pay and credit excluding vacation.

16.C.1.e.

If a line of flying cannot be evenly divided without one or both of the Flight Attendants exceeding the monthly maximum, the Flight Attendants shall utilize the procedures set forth in Section 7.I., to bring their pay and credit hours within the monthly maximum. If they are unable to do so within forty-eight hours (48:00) after the line of flying has been awarded, the Flight Attendants will contact Scheduling to resolve the issue.

16.C.1.f.

In the event of a month-end conflict, if one of the Flight Attendants is legal to fly the first trip of the month, they  shall be responsible to cover the trip.

16.C.1.g.

When Flight Attendants have overlapping vacations in the bid month, they may elect to slide their vacations to the extent necessary to minimize or eliminate the overlap, provided that both vacation periods remain within the same bid month.

16.C.1.h.

Once a line is divided, each Flight Attendant may adjust their individual schedules through normal contractual processes. Reserves shall use their seniority to complete for move-up lines.
