New Contractual Reserve RDO Provision (Section 10.D.5.)

PDF version of article PDF version

Our new Contract provides for improvements to increase schedule flexibility for Reserves. Reserves will be able to RDO their trips assigned by Crew Scheduling with Lineholder Flight Attendants beginning with the August schedule month.

Section 10.D.5.b.
“Once a Reserve has been assigned an ID, she/he shall have the ability to trade an ID for days off (RDO trade) with a Lineholder. The Reserve guarantee shall be reduced based on the number of availability days vacated”

Once a RDO request has been submitted, any Lineholder Flight Attendant may pick up your trip and the request will be processed automatically. If your trip has not been picked up two hours before the departure time of the specific trip ID you will need to fly your trip.

When the RDO trade is awarded the Reserve should see ‘CNF’ in their line of flying and a reduction of your 78 hour guarantee based on the number of days the trip was for (4:20 per Reserve day in a 30-day month and 4:07 per Reserve day in a 31-day month).
