CBA 5.I

***5. Scheduling Relief***

a. Line Holders

(1) Rescheduling parameters as outlined in Section 5.H.2. are suspended during the IROP period.

(2) Line holders losing trips or portions thereof must remain at the airport after his/her cancellation(s), and contact Crew Scheduling.

(3) A Flight Attendant shall not be required to remain at the airport, without a specific flight assignment, for longer than one hundred twenty (120) minutes from the time he/she contacts Crew Scheduling or at the termination of his/her originally scheduled trip, whichever occurs sooner.

Section 5.H.2 of the Contract becomes suspended during an IROP. For line-holding flight attendants, review section 5.H.2 below to see what this means:

5.H.2. Line Holder

b. A Flight Attendant on Time Available status will be subject to reassignment during his/her original trip duration and paid pursuant to the Trip Guarantee provisions in Section 18 of this Agreement. (during an IROP you are reschedulable up to the limitations of the FARs)

c. A Flight Attendant who is reassigned during the Time Available period will not have new flying added which would require him/her to report for duty earlier than the originally scheduled report time or be released more than one (1) hour beyond his/her originally scheduled release time. However, a Flight Attendant may be
offered, and elect to accept, an assignment which is earlier than the report time of the originally scheduled trip. (During an IROP you are reschedulable and up to the limitations of the FARs)

e. A Flight Attendant who incurs a cancellation shall not be required to remain at the airport, without a specific flight assignment, for a period of no longer than forty-five minutes from the time that he/she is notified of a cancellation by Crew Scheduling. (During an IROP this time is 120min)

f. A Flight Attendant who incurs a cancellation within two (2) hours of his/her original trip release time will be released from Duty if the Company does not have a reassignment for the Flight Attendant at the time he/she is notified of the cancellation.

g. A Flight Attendant may not be rescheduled to complete an overnight, if he/she was not originally scheduled for an overnight. (During an IROP you may be scheduled to an overnight even though you were not originally scheduled overnight)

h. Crew Scheduling will return the Flight Attendant to his/her originally scheduled trip as soon as practicable (This may not happen during an IROP)

Section 23.A.2.h of the Contract becomes suspended during an IROP. For line-holding flight attendants, review section 23.A.2.h below to see what this means:

(2) A Reserve Flight Attendant, after completing an assignment, will be placed back on reserve status (either home or ready) at the discretion of the Company, up to the limits of the FARS.

23.A.2.h is the Order of Assignment. This means that during an IROP, CS does not have to follow the Order of assignment when assigning trips to reserves.

When you complete an assignment, you must call to be released before leaving the airport. CS can release you to rest, release you to home reserve, or have you sit Airport reserve up to the limitations of the FARs. (14 hour scheduled duty day, extendable up to 16 hours under specific conditions.)
