Employees may request voluntary unpaid time off under the following circumstances:

Voluntary Time Off. 1. At times, based upon current business needs, the Company may solicit Flight Attendants to accept voluntary time off with or without pay. The Company will designate whether such voluntary time off will be paid or unpaid (and the number of hours of pay available to volunteers). Such requests are generally for no more than thirty (30) days. Such requests will be made available to Flight Attendants in seniority order with the most senior Flight Attendant having the first right of refusal to any Company offered voluntary time off with or without pay. A Flight Attendant who is scheduled for training during the period of time off will be required to attend the training if failing to do so will cause the Flight Attendant to become de-qualified. Nothing herein shall preclude the Flight Attendant from taking the training at an earlier date if available and approved by the Company. The Flight Attendant will be paid for such training in accordance with Section 3. A Flight Attendant on voluntary time off may not bid for open trips or other paid assignments. The Company will post these offers electronically.
2. While on voluntary time off with or without pay, a Flight Attendant shall continue to accrue bid seniority, longevity and all benefits as if he or she were an active Flight Attendant. Additionally, he or she shall maintain all benefits available prior to the leave at the active employee rate.
Voluntary Time Off. When the Company is looking to reduce hours on a temporary basis due to operational need, employees may volunteer to take time off without pay. If there are more volunteers than opportunities available, the most senior volunteers on the shift affected will be given the time off. An employee who elects to take time off without pay under this provision shall be deemed to have waived any applicable daily guarantee. Use of voluntary time off shall not count as an “occurrence” under any no-fault attendance policy or otherwise count against the employee for attendance record purposes, and it shall not count against an employee for purposes of eligibility for holiday pay.
Voluntary Time Off. An employee may request voluntary time off (“VTO”). VTO must be approved in advance and the granting of such VTO shall be within the sole discretion of AHS and its denial shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure in Article 32. VTO shall not be granted if:
A. It is intended to be a substitute for sick leave;
B. The employee works elsewhere during the VTO;
C. The employee is within the probation period.
