Re: Protection Against Involuntary Furlough

Dear Greg:

This letter will confirm our agreement that for the duration of the 2012 - 2016 Flight Attendant Agreement ("Agreement"), subsidiary United shall not involuntarily furlough any Flight Attendant who is on the s-UA Flight Attendant System Seniority List on the effective date of this Agreement as a direct consequence of modifications to the 2005-2010 Flight Attendant Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that the current s-UA system is over-staffed by 2,100 Flight Attendants, which is not attributable, in whole or in part, to modifications to the 2005-2010 Flight Attendant Agreement, because currently there are United Flight Attendants on voluntary furlough. Prior to any involuntary furlough, the Company will offer voluntary furloughs in accordance with Section 21.A. of the Agreement.

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Sam Risoli                                       

Sam Risoli
Senior Vice President, Inflight Services

 

Agreed:

 

/s/ Gregory E. Davidowitch
