LETTER OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
UNITED AIRLINES, INC.
AND
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
IN THE SERVICE OF
UNITED AIRLINES, INC.
AS REPRESENTED BY
ASSOCIATION OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS-CWA, AFL-CIO
This Letter of Agreement is made and entered into in accordance with the Railway Labor Act by and between United Airlines, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Association of Flight Attendants – CWA, AFLCIO (the “Union”).
WHEREAS during the negotiations between the Company and the Union (collectively, the “parties”) leading to the 2016 – 2021 Agreement (the “Agreement”), the parties agreed upon terms for the establishment of Flight Attendant satellite bases (“Satellite Bases”),
NOW THEREFORE, the parties to this Letter of Agreement hereby agree that the Satellite Bases may be established as follows:
The Company may establish Satellite Bases that will be considered sub-Bases of the existing Flight Attendant Bases (“geographical Bases”).
The Company may establish special qualifications for bid within each Satellite Base to include Flight Service Leader and Language Qualified Flight Attendants, based on the needs of the service.
Flying within each Satellite Base shall be bid and awarded separate from the geographical Base of which each Satellite Base is a sub-Base.
The Company will staff Satellite Bases by first accepting voluntary transfers in seniority order in accordance with Section 17 (Filling of Vacancies) of the Agreement. Remaining vacancies will be offered and awarded, in seniority order, to Flight Attendants affected by Base reductions within any geographic Bases, or by new hires.
In the event of a reduction-in-force at any Satellite Base, Flight Attendants staffed within such Base through the award of a vacancy, but excluding new hires, shall have preference over any voluntary transfers then on file to return to the geographic Base from which they originally transferred.
The parties to this Letter of Agreement hereby agree that it shall run concurrently with the 2016.2021 Agreement, and shall be concurrently subject to the provisions pertaining to duration and amendment contained therein.
The parties hereto have signed this Letter of Agreement this 28th day of August, 2016
