USE OF NON. REVENUE FLIGHT ATTENDANT TO COVER STAFFING SHORTAGE 1. The Company may utilize a Flight Attendant who is traveling non-revenue to work any flight when circumstances at an out station present the need to delay or cancel a flight due to in-flight staffing shortage. The Company will offer such flying: a. First, in seniority order, to a Flight Attendant who could work the flight without causing her/him to become illegal for their next sequence(s) and who has already listed in Paperless Employee Travel (PET) to fly out of the outstation on the same day prior to the creation of the staffing shortage. b. Then, if no such Flight Attendant accepts the assignment, the Company will offer it, in seniority order, to those Flight Attendants who have already listed in PET to fly out of the outstation on the same day prior to the creation of the staffing shortage. 2. The non-revenue Flight Attendant is not under any obligation to work the flight. Should the Flight Attendant accept the flight: a. S/he will be paid at one and one-half times (1.5x) the trip rate for all flights flown. All Minimum Pay Rules will apply. Reserve Flight Attendants will be paid above guarantee. S/he will suffer no loss of pay if the flying causes her/him to become illegal for her/his next scheduled sequence(s). b. Duty time will start at the time the Flight Attendant accepts the assignment, or one (1) hour before original scheduled departure from the out station, whichever is later. c. Once the assignment is accepted, all applicable contact provisions will apply. The Flight Attendant will be pay protected for any other loss of flying as a result of accepting the assignment, and be paid the greater of what was flown or credited. d. If s/he requests, the Flight Attendant will be given online positive space travel on the next available flight to the non-rev’s originally intended destination if different than the actual destination, once her/his assignment is complete. If online travel is not available between the city sequences, the Company will purchase a ticket for the Flight Attendant on the next available flight. 3. A Flight Attendant may accept an assignment under the provision of 10.T. [Use of Non-Revenue Flight Attendant…] only once per bid month. 4. If more than one non-revenue Flight Attendant is available, the assignment will be offered, in seniority order, taking into account the Flight Attendant’s legalities. U. SCHEDULING COMMITTEE See Section 27.P.4. [Company Business…].
