TA timeline in black; CBA 2015 timeline in orange.

SMU does not have to be used in the month a pilot was awarded a student line. This means that it can be banked and used in future bid months; it does not expire. That said, the View/Add Window is only available for the month the CH were initially designated as SMU (not in future View/Add Windows).

SMU, like CIA and MUV are awarded in seniority order. When a pilot has multiple bids for the View/Add, the order in which the pilot enters the bids determines the processing order. If you were to enter MUV before SMU, the MUV bid is awarded first followed by SMU.

No. You will retain SMU credit hours until you use them.

See the Student Line Flow Chart here.

You would be able to use all 82 CHs, just as you can with MUV today.

You could designate a value from any to all as SMU.

Your SMU bank remains with you until used, even after you upgrade to Captain.

Those hours will revert to general make-up (M/U). Trip trades would retain the SMU pay but you would need hours in your SMU bank to pick up a larger trip.

They will be specifically designated as R-3 lines.

R-3 and R-1.5 reserves will be leveled separately. They will be considered as one group for the purposes of Max Open Time and Reserve Forecast Modeling.

No. As is the practice today. This is simply harmonization of contract language.

Any trip that is dropped into Open Time prior to its assignment window will be available for pilot-only bid line adjustments for a period of 3 hours.

After 3 hours, it becomes available to CRS. The 3-hour window does not apply to a trip dropped into Open Time within its assignment window.

Yes. Upon daily OT release, the Company will add a minimum of:

• 2 ASBY pairings on Tuesday through Friday
• 1 ASBY pairing on Saturday
• 0 ASBY pairings Sunday and Monday

This applies to the following seats: MEM MD-11 Captain and First Officer, MEM A300 Captain and First Officer, MEM B767 Captain and First Officer, MEM B757 Captain and First Officer.

A base hotel standby may still be requested by a pilot on long SUB pursuant to Section 25.H.5.e. The new ability to expense a hotel during your SUB window and charge your deviation bank (for short or long SUB) is an additional option, and not a request. (See 8.C.3.d.iv.)

Example 1: If you are assigned an SMU trip which is subsequently cancelled, you will still be eligible for SUB as with any other trip. If you decline SUB before the showtime of your original trip, those hours will revert back to your SMU bank.

Example 2: In this example, you are assigned an 18 CH SMU trip which cancels, and you elect to remain in SUB. Next, let's say you are assigned and fly a 6 CH trip during your SUB window. They assign a second 6 CH trip which you then reject. In this example, 6 CH would be paid as SMU and 12 CH would go to your SMU bank.

Yes. Make-up bank exceedances previously limited to 6 CH have been increased to 7 CH to account for increased MPDPs. Additionally, the monthly trip trade bank was increased from 12 to 13 CH.

Yes. Any BLA that is not a Trip/R-day drop (25.L.3.a.), Contingency drop (25.L.3.d.) or a Trade with open time (25.L.8.).

For example, Proffers (25.L.14), Trip Pick up (25.L.10), Swaps with other pilots (25.L.9), and PDO bumps (25.L.11), would not create a problem with AVA.

Yes. If a trip touches any of the holidays listed below, pilots will be able to submit for AVA and it shall be approved.

The holidays are: New Year’s Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve.

Yes, same as today. However, in the TA the Company is only allowed to do this once per bid period, without your consent. If the pilot consents, they will earn 3 CH of additional compensation for each additional assignment.

A Domestic trip where more than half of the trip’s duty periods are scheduled to begin in the Day duty period and do not touch the Critical period, actually operates so that more than half of the duty periods touch the critical period will pay a disruption of 1:30 CH. (25.S.2.g.; 4.W.1)

During the first 12 hours after Open Time release and 0700-0800 everyday:

• Bid Line Adjustment (BLA) requests for trips appearing in Open Time remain for 5 minutes for all requests except Priority Make-Up (PMU).
• PMU requests are processed immediately.
• After 5 minutes, all other BLA requests will be processed immediately.

At all other times of the day, all BLA requests will process immediately.

BLAs that do not involve a trip in open time (Pilot Swap, Trip Drop, Rday move, etc.) will be processed immediately.

The Company is unlikely to choose this as a student line. In the event they did, all trips would still be dropped per the student line provisions.

Yes, same as today. With a minimum of 1:30 hours notice and provided a hotel room. (25.M.3.b.ii)

No.

Now pilots will be able to elect First Fly for a specific activity (trip 255/22Jul) or activities with limitations (west coast, deadheads, nocritical period, etc.).

For trips less than 60 hours TAFB, First Fly election will be assigned in seniority order. Trips over 60 hours TAFB will be given priority consideration.

For example, a pilot on their last day of reserve would like a trip assignment less than 60 hours TAFB if it contained a backend deadhead. If that trip is available and the pilot is sufficiently senior, the pilot will receive that assignment.
