Flight Attendant


Release before 0200

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, such as ATC delay, weather and mechanicals, a Rest period beginning no later than 0200 BLT will meet the one (1) Calendar Day requirement so long as all of the following conditions are met:

  1. Release time on the 6th day was scheduled prior to midnight BLT;
  2. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Flight Attendant returns to Base after midnight BLT into a scheduled Day Off;
  3. The Flight Attendant has a consecutive 24-hour break within seven (7) consecutive days.


Release after 0200

A Flight Attendant who was scheduled for one (1) Calendar Day Off in seven (7) consecutive days but, due to circumstances beyond the control of the Company, such as ATC delay, weather and mechanicals, is released to Rest after 0200 on the seventh (7th) Calendar Day, the subsequent Calendar Day will be a Day Off. If scheduled flying must be removed from a Flight Attendant’s schedule to satisfy this requirement, the Flight Attendant shall be placed back on his/her scheduled Trip at the first point that it passes through Base after the Calendar Day Off requirement has been satisfied. If the scheduled Trip does not pass through the Flight Attendant’s Base the Company may, at its discretion, Deadhead the Flight Attendant to resume the scheduled Trip. If placing the Flight Attendant back on the Trip results in a day (or days) that that Flight Attendant was legal to work, but has no flying, then the Flight Attendant will be placed on AVA status pursuant to Article 5.M. for those days.
