The company and APFA tentatively agreed to changes in this article that the company believes would enhance the reserve flight attendant’s quality of work-life, while at the same time, helping make the operation more efficient. These include:
- Permitting some reserve selections with 12 – 19 days of reserve duty with a pro-rated guarantee.
(New) The company proposed the percentages would be determined by the company.
- Reserves continuing to be able to relinquish up to four duty-free periods for the purpose of performing supplemental flying but would now be paid above guarantee.
- Some unassigned reserves may be awarded next day AM or PM availability period in lieu of 24-hour availability.
- Reserves having the option to request and be awarded next day PVD/mini-leave prior to reserve assignment.
- Reserves creating their own reserve lines based on company reserve requirements and seniority. Unselected days would be assigned in reverse seniority order.
- Eliminating duty-free period patterns with the following exception: Require periods of reserve availability with no more than six days and no less than the longest trip at the base, with permitted exception for 48-hour availability blocks during the overlap period.
- Reserves would still have a 75-hour guarantee.
