NON-CRAF MILITARY CHARTERS INVOLVING MIDDLE. EAST DESTINATIONS
1. Posting and Filling Procedures for Non-CRAF Military Charters involving Middle East Destinations
a. The Company will staff these military charters using a system-wide volunteer list. Flight Attendants whose names appear on the volunteer list will be used in order of seniority at the crew base from which the military charter sequence originates.
i. In cases where the city from which the charter originates is not a Flight Attendant crew base, the Company will use volunteers from the crew base city that will best operationally support the military charter.
ii. In the event there are an insufficient number of volunteer Flight Attendants at the base from which the charter is staffed, the Company will crew any remaining open positions using volunteers from another base. Such base will be determined by the Company.
b. Minimum staffing requirements for these military charters will be: i. 777 – nine (9) Flight Attendants ii. 767 – seven (7) Flight Attendants
2. Schedule Conflict
a. A Flight Attendant’s maximum projection will be determined prior to the assignment of the charter sequence and will be equal to the amount of hours on the Flight Attendant’s activity record at that time. If there is no schedule conflict with the charter sequence, the Flight Attendant will be removed from a future trip sequence(s) as an unpaid over-projection to bring the projection back down to an amount equal to, or below the pre-determined maximum allowed.
b. In the event a volunteer Flight Attendant has a schedule conflict with the charter sequence, she/he will be removed from the conflicting trip(s) and will fly the military charter. The Company agrees to pay each Flight Attendant the greater of the trip or trips from which she/he was removed or the military charter trip.
c. A Flight Attendant will have the option to exceed her/his maximum projection in Paragraphs J.2.a and J.2.b.
