The Company continually proposed utilizing Company Jumpseats in lieu of deadhead tickets throughout Section 8 negotiations. We were successful in maintaining the deadhead travel protections in the current book.

The new language makes it obligatory for the Company to continue to do so when available. This precludes purchase of Basic Economy tickets if any other option is available.

No, the new language is simply an incorporation of the Settlement Agreement in Administrative Grievance 18-05. We incorporated it to provide pilots easier access to this information. You can view Grievance 18-05 here.

You are now able to preserve the full value of your bank for three additional bid periods (The bank will not be immediately cut in half in the next bid period (as is current practice). Following the third bid period, the Company will reduce the bank value by 50% and then deposit this 50% balance in the Hotel Room Cancelation Bank. Additionally, the HRC Bank limit will increase from $10,000 to $15,000.

Assume the difference between your deviation expenses and deviation bank for the bid month of August is $1000. Unless used, that $1000 would carry over in full through bid months of September (month 1), October (month 2), and November (month 3). In December, the amount would be reduced to $500 and deposited into the HRC bank for later use.

Yes. Use of your HRC bank to offset allowable / reimbursable deviation expenses is limited to $7,500 per bid period.

We were able to incorporate the use of rental cars as an allowable deviation expense. You will need approval for rental car expenses greater than $100 per occurrence.

Rental car fees, taxes, fuel (not prepaid), and tolls will be allowable and reimbursable deviation bank expenses. Fuel and tolls must be during the footprint of the rental. Fuel will require a receipt no matter the amount. Insurance, GPS/Nav, and Satellite radio will not be covered.

The limit on seat selection fees has been increased to $100. You can use this money to select any seat in the economy class of service. The limitation of $40 per segment has been removed. The $100 is per positioning sequence (front end, mid-trip, backend deadheads).

Yes, 8.C.3.iii requires a receipt to be submitted for seat selection fees regardless of the amount.

Yes. A pilot who has a SUB window may expense a hotel room in base using the pilot’s deviation bank. This is in addition to the non-deviation options already available in the CBA (25.H.5.c. and e.).

During your SUB Window (25.H.4.): the period beginning 4 hours prior to showtime of the original trip and ending 4 hours after the termination of the original trip.

Yes. The hotel election may be for any number of days in the SUB window.

No.

The Company will not require receipts for expenses under $75 or the IRS maximum, whichever is less. This is an increase from the previous limit of $25. This is part of a larger solution which includes new language in Section 5. That language addresses hotel folios and increased notifications of expense report discrepancies.
