For January, multiple bases will see Reserve lines with 16 days off. Flight Attendants awarded a Reserve line having more than the minimum number of days off can request to restore one or more of the predesignated days of availability, indicated by a “+” in the bid packet.
Contract Section 8.I.1.l. provides Reserve Flight Attendants with the ability to restore days of availability without regard to whether or not they initially bid for the line.
Restored days will coincide with an increase to the Reserve minimum guarantee, up to a maximum of 78:00. For January 2025, each Reserve day you choose to restore will be worth 4:07 hours.
Requests to restore Reserve days of availability must be submitted by 23:59 HDT (Home Domicile Time), 3 days before the first day of the new bid month. For the January 2025 bid month, this will be December 26th at 23:59 HDT. To further review the restoration of reserve day availability, please see our FAQ document for additional details.
