Common use of Equipment Substitution Clause in Contracts

Equipment Substitution. a. When different equipment is substituted prior to departure for an entire sequence, and positions are available in open time, only the required number of Flight Attendant positions for the downgraded equipment will be staffed. If such sequence is staffed with a full complement at the time of the equipment substitution, only the required number of Flight Attendant positions for the downgraded equipment will be required and the most senior Flight Attendant(s) will be released and receive pay and credit at their hourly rate and all premiums, if applicable. b. When different equipment is substituted after departure the Flight Attendant complement will depend on the number of jumpseats available. In the event fewer jumpseats are available than there are Flight Attendants who have reported for the sequence, the junior Flight Attendants on the sequence, regardless of bid position, will fly the sequence and receive pay and credit at their hourly rate, and all premiums, if applicable. The most senior Flight Attendant(s) shall be compensated for the sequence at her/his hourly rate and all applicable premiums. At Company option, the original Flight Attendant may be required to return to her/his original sequence at any time prior to the termination of such sequence, but for this provision to have effect, such Flight Attendant must be notified of such requirement at the time she/he is notified of the equipment substitution. c. If a sequence transits back through crew base and the Flight Attendant(s) is no longer required to fulfill the crew complement for the balance of the sequence, the downgrade provisions of Paragraphs J.9.a.- b, will be applied based on the departure time of the portion of the sequence which transits through the crew base.
