United pilots contract, Section 23 — Flight Instructors and Evaluators

23-A-1 Unless agreed otherwise by the Company and the Association, and except as provided in Section 23-A-2, only I/Es shall conduct, train and grade flight procedures and maneuvers from takeoff through landing in flight simulators or other flight training devices:

23-A-1-a In addition, only I/Es shall conduct:

23-A-1-a-(1) Instruction regarding flight procedures and maneuvers from takeoff through landing (including such content in Indoctrination, Redoctrination and the Flight Operations Manual (“FOM”)) which is taught in other than General Subjects Review (“GSR”) training curriculum; and

23-A-1-a-(2) Remedial or special purpose operational training (“SPOT”) Crew Resource Management and Human Factors topics, except as provided in Section 23-A-2-c; and

23-A-1-a-(3) Seat-fill duties for initial, upgrade, requalification, and differences training, and Instructor/Evaluator Continuing Qualification (“IECQ”) events.

23-A-1-b I/Es may also be assigned to any other seat-fill duties, training, administrative/project, GSR, development, or subject matter expert work.

23-A-2 Exceptions to Section 23-A-1

23-A-2-a Other Company employees who are not I/Es may perform normal procedures (e.g., takeoff, cruise, landing) and non-normal systems operations only to the extent necessary to conduct systems training. In order to provide such instruction other Company employees may utilize quick reference handbook (“QRH”), electronic centralized aircraft monitor (“ECAM”), or electronic check list (“ECL”) items to teach the aircraft systems. In no case shall an “other Company employee” provide instruction on procedures contained within a QRH, ECAM, or ECL. In addition, the following specific limitations shall apply:

23-A-2-a-(1) From passing the runway hold short line entering the runway to passing the hold short line exiting the runway there are no callouts, flows, briefings or air traffic control (“ATC”) scripting. Additionally, motion shall remain off for the entire period. Visual displays, if available, may be used only to the extent necessary to teach the aircraft systems.

23-A-2-a-(2) Ground procedures may only be trained up to the runway hold short line prior to takeoff and after crossing the runway hold short line for after landing to parking and termination procedures.

23-A-2-a-(3) Non-normal systems operations may be demonstrated for the purpose of studying the cause and effect relationship to the system operations and indications during irregularities. For example, the other Company employee could fail an electrical bus, review additional busses and equipment that have failed, discuss what capabilities are lost, review

indications including lights that indicate specific bus failure, review the effects of moving a switch to repower part of that failed system and then review the capabilities that are regained to include limits, notes, cautions and warnings.

23-A-2-a-(4) Real time flying during any phase of flight is limited to the extent necessary in order to teach the applicable systems objectives as outlined in the Instructor Manual.

23-A-2-a-(5) The use of flight freeze and repositions must be sufficiently detailed as to when it is to be used in the Instructor Manual.

23-A-2-a-(6) The FTD-A (“Fixed Training Device – System Phase”) phase of training may have no more than three (3) takeoffs to conduct systems training. After the systems training during the takeoff has been completed, the FSTD (“Flight Sim Training Device”) shall be repositioned to an altitude to allow for additional systems training.

23-A-2-a-(7) The FTD-A phase of training may have no more than two (2) climbs and two (2) descents to the extent necessary to teach a specific system with specific systems training objectives clearly outlined in the Instructor Manual. One of the climbs may be a SID (“Standard Instrument Departure”) and one of the descents may be a STAR (“Standard Terminal Arrival Route”).

23-A-2-a-(8) The FTD-A phase of training may have no more than three (3) approaches and landings to teach systems. The approaches and landings must be limited to a normal ILS (“Instrument Landing System”) or RNAV/RNP (“aRea NAVigation” / “Required Navigational Performance”), if applicable.

23-A-2-a-(9) The FTD-A phase of training may have no more than one (1) go-around to conduct systems training. After the systems training during the go-around has been completed, the FTD shall be repositioned to the ground to complete the after landing, parking and termination procedures.

23-A-2-b Qualified management Pilots assigned on a full time basis to Fleet Training or Fleet Standards may conduct the same training as an I/E. An individual management Pilot cannot conduct more than twelve (12) training events per bid year normally conducted by an I/E. The Company shall provide the Local Council representatives a quarterly report to verify compliance with the preceding limitation; the parties may agree on alternate methods of compliance verification. Notwithstanding the above, a management Pilot may replace a scheduled I/E for a training event (aka “FBO”) without limitation.

23-A-2-c Remedial or SPOT Crew Resource Management and Human Factors topics may be performed by other Company employees with approval of the MEC Training Committee.

23-A-3 Qualifications

23-A-3-a An I/E who is unable to maintain at least the same class FAA medical certificate required of line Pilots shall only be eligible to conduct the Scope of Work reserved for I/Es in Section 23-A-1 for twelve (12) Bid Periods following the date such class of medical certificate expires.

23-A-3-b To be eligible to perform the duties of an Instructor or to begin training to become an Instructor, a Pilot must have thirteen (13) Bid Periods of service as a Pilot.

23-A-3-c In order to be eligible to perform the duties of an Evaluator, a Pilot must have a minimum of twenty-four (24) Bid Periods as line Captain in the operation or 1000 hours as Pilot-in-Command with the Company. Further, an Evaluator must also be able to hold a bid as Captain (i.e. a Pilot junior to the Evaluator has been awarded a Captain Status on a vacancy/displacement bid). In addition, an Evaluator who evaluates on a B777, B787, A350 or A380 must also be able to hold a bid as Captain on any of those fleets (i.e. a Pilot junior to the Evaluator has been awarded a Captain Status on any of those fleets on a vacancy/displacement bid).

23-A-3-d In the event an Evaluator is no longer able to hold a bid as Captain, he may remain an Evaluator for no more than six (6) Bid Periods following loss of eligibility, but would no longer be able to fly as Pilot-in-Command in accordance with 23-K-1.

23-A-4 Seniority

Except as otherwise provided, I/Es shall use line seniority within position (Instructor or Evaluator).

23-A-5 Dry Lease Instruction

Furloughed, active and retired Company Pilots type-rated on aircraft for which training is being offered and qualified to instruct, or able to be qualified in no more than five (5) days of training, shall have first right of refusal to conduct training with respect to the dry lease of training assets set forth in Section 1-B-3-d to (i) FAR Part 142 certificate holders, and (ii) Airlines, Aerospace Companies, or Government agencies using anyone other than their own employees (not contracted or short-term employees) to provide training. Notification of such newly created instructor positions will be made to the Association at the time of the dry lease agreement with sufficient notice for interested Pilots to reply, normally no less than one week. The first right of refusal requirement shall not apply to training conducted using assets associated with aircraft that are not in the Company’s then current fleet.

Example 1: If airline X dry leases a Company training asset to provide training to pilots of airline X using instructors from airline X, it may use its own instructors.

Example 2: If airline X dry leases a Company training asset to provide training to pilots of airline Y, airline X must first offer instructor positions to qualified furloughed, active and retired Company Pilots to conduct training in the Company training asset.

Example 3: If a FAR Part 142 school dry leases a Company training asset to provide training for an airline or ab initio curriculum, the FAR Part 142 school must first offer instructor positions to qualified furloughed, active and retired Company Pilots to conduct training in the Company training asset.

23-A-6 The Company and Local Council representatives shall meet monthly to address fleet, I/E, and scheduling issues, or as otherwise agreed.

23-A-6-a The Association’s designated representatives who are I/Es (hereinafter “I/E Representatives”) shall be advised of and have an opportunity to make recommendations concerning the required qualifications and the selection process. In addition, the Company will consult with the I/E Representatives regarding potential candidates for I/E vacancies. The

parties will agree on a consultation process and, once agreed, that process can only be modified by mutual agreement.

23-A-6-b All training curriculum shall be reviewed by the Company in consultation with the I/E Representatives in order to ensure the objectives are placed appropriately in the Primary Systems or Flight Training segments of the curriculum.

23-A-7 The “Denver Flight Training Center” as used herein shall include the Denver Flight Training Center in existence as of September 29, 2023 and any new training facility within a 50-mile radius from Denver International Airport (DEN). If the Company opens a new training facility included in the definition of Denver Flight Training Center, the parties will meet and discuss the impact of the new facility for both I/Es and Pilots undergoing training. In any case, the Company may not utilize a hotel outside the Denver core business district (either for I/Es or Pilots undergoing training) without ALPA concurrence.

23-B-1 On a case-by-case basis with the concurrence of the Company and the I/E Representatives, temporary transfers between fleets are permitted for a period not to exceed 120 days. The effective date of a temporary transfer to a new fleet shall be the first (1st) day the I/E is cleared to conduct training on the new fleet or the day the I/E begins instructing in the new fleet if he does not require training.

23-B-2 The Company shall make available upon request a list of I/Es, if any, who have previously been surplused from I/E status and the fleet from which the I/E was surplused.

23-B-3 All I/E vacancies shall be posted for fourteen (14) days.

23-B-4 When establishing an initial cadre of I/Es for a new fleet type, selection of I/Es for that fleet shall be at the discretion of the Company. However, when the first line Pilot begins qualification training for the new fleet type, fifty percent (50%) of the fleet’s I/Es, as measured by Pilot Manpower Equivalents (“PME”), must (1) have filled a vacancy in accordance with Section 23-B-5 and (2) be cleared to conduct training/evaluating on the new fleet type. An I/E who has been selected but has not been cleared to conduct training/evaluating due to a disruption to the training schedule caused by the potential I/E shall be counted in satisfying this requirement. After the first line Pilot begins qualification training for the new fleet type, all future vacancies shall be filled in accordance with Section 23-B-5.

23-B-5 Other than as provided in Section 23-B-4, vacancies shall be filled in accordance with the following priority:

23-B-5-a An I/E serving on a Retiring Fleet when the System Scheduling Committee receives the Notice of Proposed Decision Making from the Company stating that the last Equipment- Base operating a specific Equipment type shall close. He shall have one (1) opportunity to fill a training center vacancy in line seniority order (regardless of whether it is an Instructor or Evaluator (if the Pilot has the necessary qualifications specified in Section 23-A-3-(c) position) within twelve (12) months of his surplus date.

23-B-5-b I/Es who have been surplused to the line within the preceding thirty six (36) Bid Periods, as measured from the first day of the Bid Period in which the I/E returned to the line.

Such I/Es may return to any fleet with a vacancy in the position (Instructor or Evaluator) from which they were surplused. A surplused I/E who does not apply for an available vacancy in a position (Instructor or Evaluator, but not fleet specific) from which he was surplused shall be removed from the surplus list. An “available” vacancy is defined as one for which the surplused I/E had the seniority to be awarded and, in the case of a vacancy for a Job Share I/E, who has the qualifications specified in Section 23-R-2-a.

23-B-5-c Current Instructors in the fleet shall be offered the opportunity to move between full time and JS Instructor positions, in accordance with Section 23-R-2-c.

23-B-5-d Any other I/Es or Pilots who have been selected by the Company.

23-B-5-e Clarifications and Examples

23-B-5-e-(1) Except as provided in Section 23-B-5-a, a surplused I/E can only accept recall to his prior position (Instructor or Evaluator).

23-B-5-e-(1)-(a) An I/E surplused from a full time position as an Instructor or Evaluator may accept recall to a Job Share (“JS”) position, if they meet the qualification requirements of Section 23-R-2-a. Failure to bid for a JS position shall not remove a surplused full time I/E from the surplus list, though accepting a recall to a JS position removes the I/E from the surplus list.

23-B-5-e-(1)-(b) An I/E who was surplused from a JS position can only accept recall to a JS position and must meet the qualification requirements of Section 23-R-2-a.

23-B-5-e-(2) Examples

23-B-5-e-(2)-(a) As of June 30, 2022, seven (7) full time Evaluators and two (2) Job Share Evaluators are on the surplus list. On July 1, 2022 a vacancy is posted for two (2) full time Evaluators. The positions will be awarded to the two (2) most senior Evaluators who were surplused from a full time position and who apply for the vacancy. Any surplused Evaluator who was surplused from a full time position and who is senior to the junior Evaluator awarded the vacancy who does not apply for the vacancy will be removed from the surplus list; conversely, any surplused Evaluator who was surplused from a full time position and who is junior to the most junior surplused Evaluator awarded the vacancy will remain on the surplus list.

23-B-5-e-(2)-(b) A mix of JS and full time Evaluators are on the surplus list. Four (4) vacancies are posted for four 777 JS Evaluators. They shall be awarded as follows:

23-D-1 Monthly Schedules The I/E schedule shall be visible during the schedule building process for the next Bid Period and shall be published no later than 2359 local time on the nineteenth (19th) of each month.

23-D-2 Days Off Scheduling

23-D-2-a Minimum I/E RDOs shall be thirteen (13) immovable days free from duty per Bid Period, reduced for absences in accordance with the charts below, except that:

23-D-2-a-(1) The chart below shall not apply when pro-rating days off for a vacation period, which is covered in Section 23-P.

23-D-2-a-(2) The chart below shall not apply when an I/E elects a sick leave schedule in accordance with Section 23-J-2.

23-D-2-a-(3) An I/E who has both a prorated flying schedule and prorated I/E schedule in a Bid Period shall have no fewer than ten (10) combined days free from duty in the Bid Period.

23-D-2-b Notwithstanding the minimum day off requirement above, the minimum I/E RDO requirement may be reduced by up to three (3) I/E RDOs total for any combination of Overtime events, proficiency or TIA flying.

23-D-2-b-(1) Overtime events may be assigned either before the monthly schedule is constructed or after the monthly schedules have been published.

23-D-2-b-(2) Proficiency or TIA flying taking the I/E below the published minimum days off may only be picked up after monthly schedules have been published.

23-D-2-b-(3) In no case shall an I/E who is available for the full Bid Period have less than ten (10) I/E RDOs.

23-D-2-b-(4) For I/Es with a partial Bid Period absence, the reduction in I/E RDOs in the proration chart in Section 23-D-2-a may be increased by up to a maximum of three (3) I/E RDOs.

23-D-2-b-(5) Example: An I/E who is unavailable for seven (7) days in a 30-day Bid Period shall have his minimum scheduled I/E RDOs reduced from thirteen (13) to ten (10) (i.e., reduced by three (3) per the chart above). If the I/E flies a three (3) day TIA Trip, his minimum I/E RDOs is further reduced by three (3) such that he must have seven (7) I/E RDOs in the Bid Period.

23-D-3 No more than six (6) consecutive days of work shall be scheduled without the concurrence of the I/E. A days-off request, made in accordance with Section 23-D-4, that results in seven (7) or more consecutive days of work implies an I/E’s concurrence to waive this provision.

23-D-4 Days-off requests must be submitted to Flight Training Center Scheduling by 2359 on the fifth (5th) day of the prior month (e.g., March 5 for April I/E RDOs). Scheduling shall honor these requests in a fair and equitable manner to the maximum extent possible.

23-D-5 I/Es shall not be assigned to work or deadhead on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day. These days shall be in addition to an I/E’s minimum days off per Bid Period.

23-D-6 Schedule Changes

23-D-6-a Flight Training Center Scheduling shall contact I/Es as far in advance as possible for assignment changes. Any change made to an I/E’s assignment that keeps all work performed within the original assignment window is not subject to Section 23-D-6-b below.

23-D-6-b When an assignment is canceled (that is, no work is assigned to the I/E during his original assignment window at the time the assignment is canceled), the I/E shall be placed on reserve (“canceled reserve”, or “XS”) on the day of the original assignment subject to the following:

23-D-6-b-(1) The I/E is eligible for a subsequent assignment which occurs during the original assignment window (starting and ending times).

23-D-6-b-(2) Notwithstanding Section 23-D-6-b-(1), up to four (4) times a Bid Period for each I/E, the canceled day’s original assignment window may be moved once. The assignment window may be moved no more than plus or minus four hours and fifteen minutes (4:15) from the original start time. Any assignment made outside these windows can only be made with I/E concurrence.

23-D-6-b-(2)-(a) An I/E’s original assignment window may be moved only when the original assignment was canceled due to (1) training device unavailability; (2) weather events; (3) student training issues (i.e., failure to progress); or (4) action taken by the I/E that result in an illegal assignment. Notwithstanding the above, an I/E’s original assignment window may also be moved whenever the student of the canceled assignment is not reassigned to training on the same day as the canceled assignment or whenever there was no student to train in the canceled assignment.

23-D-6-b-(2)-(b) An I/E may waive any limitations in this Section 23-D-6-b-(2).

23-D-6-b-(3) The Company must inform the I/E of his assignment window upon initial notification of an assignment cancellation.

23-D-6-b-(4) The I/E’s schedule shall reflect the I/E’s assignment window.

23-D-6-b-(5) The I/E’s assignment(s) shall not be cancelled solely to move his assignment window.

23-D-6-c Before a schedule change is considered final, the I/E must acknowledge the change. If a change is observed in the scheduling tool, confirmation is still required. After duty hours, response to a change may be made by voice mail or email to Flight Training Center Scheduling.

23-D-7 To the extent doing so would not be in conflict with the work rules contained in this Section 23, it is agreed that every effort will be made to schedule an l/E with a class or crew for continuity during each phase of training.

23-D-8 Any automated scheduling system must include parameters, to be set in consultation with the Association, that penalize l/E early starts on the first day of a work period and late starts on the last day of a work period. For purposes of Section 23-D-7, these penalty parameters are not ‘work rules contained in this Section 23.

23-D-9 Training

23-D-9-a When an I/E attends training that is designed for line Pilots (e.g., aircraft-specific training), that training shall be scheduled under Section 9 and shall be considered as an absence for the purposes of Section 23-D-2 proration.

23-D-9-b When an I/E attends training that is specifically designed for I/Es (e.g., I/E Indoc training), that training shall be scheduled under Section 23; that is, the training days shall be considered as work days and the scheduling rules applicable to Section 23 shall apply.

23-D-9-c Recurrent training for I/Es (IECQ) shall be scheduled as I/E work days; however, Section 9-E shall apply.

23-D-9-d When an I/E is staffed at the Flight Training Center after the first day of a Bid Period, Section 23-D-2 shall apply starting on the Flight Training Center staffing date and Section 5-E shall apply prior to the Flight Training Center staffing date.

23-D-9-d-(1) Example: Assume an I/E reports to the Flight Training Center on the 20th day of a thirty-day Bid Period and receives a line schedule on days 1 through 19. Days 20 through 30 are considered as unavailable days for purposes of Section 5 day-off proration, and his line schedule shall be prorated in accordance with Section 5-E. For his I/E schedule on days 20 through 30, days 1 through 19 are considered as “absence days” and his I/E schedule will be prorated in accordance with Section 23-D-2.

23-E-1 The scheduled I/E workday consists of no more than eight (8) consecutive hours, exclusive of a one (1) hour meal break. I/E workdays other than temporary duty (“TDY”) and line flying that

include deadheading shall be limited to no more than thirteen and one-half (13.5) consecutive hours in the Actual Operation.

23-E-2 I/Es shall receive at least twelve (12) hours free of all duty between training assignments or when going from line flying to a training assignment. The start time of the first work assignment following less than eight (8) days off shall not begin prior to twelve (12) hours later than the end time of the last assignment prior to the days off. Any exceptions to the twelve (12) hour free from duty periods must have the concurrence of the I/E and may occur only after publication of monthly schedules.

23-E-3 An I/E shall not be scheduled for more than six (6) hours in the simulator per day at the Denver Flight Training Center, except for Part 142 events requiring more than six (6) hours to complete two check rides. An I/E may only fill-in on two (2) Part 142 events per Bid Period.

23-E-4 An I/E shall not be scheduled in excess of four and one half (4.5) consecutive hours in the simulator more than two (2) days per Bid Period.

23-G-1 An I/E on reserve shall report to the training facility in a timely manner when notified of a reserve assignment.

23-G-2 An I/E on reserve must provide and maintain current contact numbers with Training Scheduling.

23-G-3 An I/E on reserve shall not be required to report to a training facility unless required for an assignment.

23-G-4 An I/E is released from reserve for the remainder of the day if they have not received an assignment prior to 0900 local time, or if authorized by Flight Training Center Scheduling, whichever is earlier.

23-G-5 When more than one (1) I/E is available on reserve, the I/E with the least qualifications who can perform the training assignment shall be given the reserve assignment. Qualifications used for this determination shall be established through mutual agreement between the Company and the Local Council representatives.

23-G-6 Equally qualified I/Es shall be given a reserve assignment, in the following order:

23-G-6-a An I/E on reserve (RSV) with an unused reserve (RSV or XS) day the day before the reserve assignment;

23-G-6-b An I/E on reserve (RSV) who performed work the previous day and finished prior to 2359;

23-G-6-c An I/E who is on canceled reserve (XS);

23-G-6-d An I/E on reserve (RSV) coming off an I/E RDO;

23-G-6-e An I/E on reserve (RSV) who had an assignment that terminated after 0001 on the same calendar day;

23-G-6-f If more than one (1) I/E is available for any priority above, the I/E whose previous assignment terminated first shall be used. For these purposes, an I/E RDO shall be considered to be an assignment that terminated at 2359.

23-G-7 An I/E may be assigned out of the above priority order for a multi-day assignment only to ensure I/E or seat-fill continuity, provided the above priorities are used if there is more than one (1) I/E available for the required number of days.

23-G-8 A reserve ranking roster shall be posted as agreed to by the Company and the Local Council representatives.

23-G-9 Upon request, if an assignment is made in other than the published reserve ranking roster sequence, the affected I/E shall be advised of the reason.

23-G-10 Notwithstanding Sections 23-G-5, 23-G-6, and 23-G-7, a reserve assignment for which both Instructors and Evaluators are qualified will be assigned to a reserve Instructor before being assigned to a reserve Evaluator.

23-H-1 Overtime shall be paid for any event conducted on an originally scheduled day off, vacation day (provided the I/E does not go more than three (3) days below the Minimum Annual

Vacation Election in Section 11-E-2), or an event that is conducted on a day in addition to a regularly scheduled event.

23-H-1-a If the overtime event is cancelled within twelve (12) hours after it is awarded, the I/E shall not be compensated.

23-H-1-b If the event is cancelled more than twelve (12) hours after the award, at the I/E’s option he may be placed on reserve that day per Section 23-D-6-b with overtime compensation, or have his day off or vacation day restored with no overtime compensation.

23-H-1-c Overtime events are separate events and can only be bundled at TDY locations. When an overtime event occurs at a TDY location, any associated travel day(s) are paid the same as the adjacent overtime event. However, the travel day will not count as an overtime event, but will count as a work day.

23-H-2 Overtime events shall be assigned as follows:

23-H-2-a Assignment order:

23-H-2-a-(1) An overtime event shall be assigned to a qualified I/E volunteer having the fewest number of overtime events for the Bid Period.

23-H-2-a-(2) If multiple qualified I/E volunteers have the same ‘fewest number of overtime events for the Bid Period’, then when assigning a specific overtime event:

23-H-2-a-(2)-(a) if at least one (1) is an Instructor, then the overtime event shall be assigned to the senior Instructor who is qualified to perform the event.

23-H-2-a-(2)-(b) if none are Instructors, then the overtime event shall be assigned to the senior Evaluator who is qualified to perform the event.

23-H-2-a-(2)-(c) Example: Both an Instructor and Evaluator have the same number of overtime events. For an overtime event for which both the Instructor and Evaluator are qualified, the Instructor will be assigned prior to the Evaluator regardless of their individual seniority.

23-H-2-a-(2)-(d) Example: An Instructor with no overtime events and an Evaluator with one (1) overtime event have volunteered for an overtime event. The event is one which can only be performed by an Evaluator. The Evaluator will be assigned the event even though he has already performed an overtime event in that Bid Period.

23-H-2-a-(3) In addition, an I/E who has been assigned bundled overtime at a TDY location in the previous two (2) Bid Periods shall be bypassed for further bundled overtime at a TDY location if another qualified I/E without bundled overtime at a TDY location in the previous two (2) Bid Periods volunteers for the event. For example, an I/E may not be assigned a bundled TDY overtime event in the March Bid Period if he was awarded a bundled overtime event in either the January or February Bid Periods, unless the only other volunteers were also awarded a bundled overtime event in either the January or February Bid Periods.

23-H-2-b An I/E may be assigned voluntary overtime events, either before the monthly schedule is constructed or after the monthly schedule is awarded, so long as the I/E does not violate the minimum days off for the Bid Period defined in Section 23-D-2-b.

23-H-2-c Overtime Posting and Assignment to Management I/Es

23-H-2-c-(1) An available overtime event shall be posted to all I/Es two (2) times, except it may only be posted once if it becomes available within fifteen (15) minutes of the time it can be assigned to a management I/E.

23-H-2-c-(2) Any posting of overtime must be open for at least fifteen (15) minutes, even if the fifteen (15) minutes reduces the time periods listed below. The Company may keep a post open longer than the deadlines listed above, if desired.

23-H-2-c-(3) Assignment to Management I/Es

23-H-2-c-(3)-(a) All posts of available overtime events must remain open until sixty (60) minutes prior to the briefing report time of the event before they can be assigned to a management I/E.

23-H-2-c-(3)-(b) Notwithstanding Section 23-H-2-c-(3)-(a), posts of available overtime for Period One (i.e., the 0600 to 1000 sim event) must remain open until ten (10) hours prior to the briefing report time of the event before it can be assigned to a management I/E.

23-H-2-c-(4) Examples

23-H-2-c-(4)-(a) An event with a report time of 1600 comes open at 1515 that day. The event requires one (1) posting, which shall remain open for no less than fifteen (15) minutes. The event may not be assigned to a management I/E prior to 1530.

23-H-2-c-(4)-(b) An event with a report time of 0400 comes open at 1755 on the day prior. The event requires one (1) posting, which shall remain open for no less than fifteen (15) minutes. The event may not be assigned to a management I/E prior to 1810.

23-H-2-c-(4)-(c) An event with a report time of 1200 comes open at 1700 the day prior. The event requires two (2) postings (assuming it is not assigned after the first posting). The event may not be assigned to a management I/E until 1100.

23-H-2-d Available overtime events shall be communicated to I/Es as agreed by the Company and the Local Council representatives and a monthly review of overtime event awards shall be conducted with Local Council representatives.

23-H-2-e A monthly list of overtime event awards shall be provided to all I/Es.

23-H-3 Overtime Compensation

23-H-3-a For the first (1st) voluntary overtime event in a Bid Period, the overtime pay for such event shall be five and three-tenths (5.3) hours multiplied by the I/E’s best held hourly rate.

23-H-3-b For the second (2nd) voluntary overtime event in a Bid Period, the overtime pay for such event shall be five and three-tenths (5.3) hours multiplied by 150% of the I/E’s best held hourly rate.

23-H-3-c For the third (3rd) and any additional voluntary overtime events in a Bid Period, the overtime pay for each event shall be five and three-tenths (5.3) hours multiplied by 200% of the I/E’s best held hourly rate.

23-H-3-d Overtime pay shall be pay in addition to the I/E’s monthly salary.

23-H-4 No overtime assignment may result in exceeding the maximum scheduled duty day in Section 23-E-1, or six (6) hours per day in a simulator in the Denver Flight Training Center (may not be waived).

23-I-1 Temporary duty away from a Company Flight Training Center shall be assigned in a fair and equitable manner. Every attempt shall be made to schedule TDY from a list of available volunteers in line seniority. However, the Company may consider a volunteer I/E’s home of record before considering volunteers in line seniority order.

23-I-2 Voluntary TDY assignments from one Company Flight Training Center to another Company Flight Training Center are limited to 120 consecutive days but may be extended beyond 120 days with concurrence of the I/E Representatives.

23-I-3 If there are not enough volunteers, assignments shall be made in inverse seniority order until each I/E has been involuntarily assigned once per Bid Period.

23-I-4 Involuntary TDY shall not exceed fifteen (15) consecutive days.

23-I-5 When involuntary TDY assignments are made, I/Es may be bypassed to take into account qualifications, I/E RDO requests, vacation/military leave, and special assignments.

23-I-6 I/E RDOs associated with TDY shall be scheduled, and additional I/E RDOs above the monthly minimum shall be allocated, as follows:

23-I-6-a TDY of six (6) days or less shall not have any additional I/E RDOs allocated.

23-I-6-b TDY of seven (7) through fourteen (14) days shall have one (1) two (2) day block of I/E RDOs scheduled at the TDY location. One (1) additional I/E RDO shall be allocated to the I/E in that Bid Period.

23-I-6-c TDY of fifteen (15) to twenty-two (22) days shall have one (1) I/E RDO and one (1) two (2) day block of I/E RDOs scheduled at the TDY location. Two (2) additional I/E RDOs shall be allocated to the I/E in that Bid Period or an adjacent Bid Period.

23-I-6-d A TDY of twenty-three (23) to twenty-nine (29) days shall have one (1) I/E RDO and two (2) blocks of two (2) days of I/E RDOs scheduled at the TDY location. Three (3) additional I/E RDOs shall be allocated to the I/E in that Bid Period or an adjacent Bid Period.

23-I-6-e TDY of thirty (30) days or longer shall have all the monthly I/E RDOs taken at the TDY location. No additional I/E RDOs shall be allocated.

23-I-7 I/Es traveling to or from a TDY location may be scheduled up to thirteen and one-half (13.5) hours of work/deadhead (actual limit of fourteen and one-half (14.5) hours) per day. When building the schedule, consideration must be given to the time needed for transfer to/from the airport, hotel and/or simulator, meal breaks, and a thirty (30) minute debrief.

23-I-8 The I/E Representatives shall be consulted regarding the hotel choice for the TDY destination.

23-I-9 I/Es shall be provided positive space travel in accordance with Company business travel policy for flights to and from their TDY location and home or a Company Flight Training Center including any forty-eight (48) hour or greater break in training.

23-I-10 If an I/E’s TDY assignment is canceled in its entirety, he may be given a reserve assignment in accordance with Section 23-D-6 at the Company Flight Training Center.

23-J-1 In a thirty-day Bid Period, I/E’s are debited 1/17th of ninety (90) hours (5.3 hours) per sick day from their sick bank. In a thirty-one-day Bid Period, I/E’s are debited 1/18th of ninety (90) hours (5.0 hours) per sick day from their sick bank.

23-J-2 An I/E may call in sick for full day increments only. Removal from the schedule and placement on sick leave shall be for the number of days specified by the I/E.

23-J-2-a Example 1: An I/E with planned sick leave of fifteen (15) days for a future 30-day Bid Period designates that ten (10) of the days are sick days and five (5) are I/E RDOs. In such case, the I/E shall not be subject to the proration table in Section 23-D-2-a, and shall have eight (8) I/E RDOs (plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day) for the portion of the Bid Period outside the planned sick leave. The I/E’s sick bank shall be debited fifty-three (53) hours (i.e., 10x5.3).

23-J-2-b Example 2: An I/E with planned sick leave of fifteen (15) days for a future 30-day Bid Period does not designate the number of sick days. In accordance with the proration table in Section 23-D-2-a, the I/E has six (6) RDOs (plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day) for the portion of the Bid Period outside the planned sick leave. Accordingly, in order to total thirteen (13) days off in the full Bid Period, he shall have seven (7) RDOs accounted for within the fifteen (15) days of absence, leaving eight (8) days of sick leave. His sick bank shall be debited forty-two and four-tenths (42.4) hours (i.e., 8 x 5.3).

23-J-3 Application of Sick Leave to an I/E performing proficiency or TIA flying:

23-J-3-a When an I/E calls out sick for proficiency or TIA flying, their sick bank shall be debited in accordance with Section 23-J-1 regardless of the value of the Trip (or portion thereof) actually missed due to the illness.

23-J-3-b If the I/E performed any flying (including deadhead) on the day on which they subsequently called in sick, no sick leave shall be debited.

23-J-3-c When an I/E becomes sick after departing on the originating leg of their current Trip, the Trip will be rebuilt using the next legal deadhead back to the I/E's Base (if necessary) to establish the length of that rebuilt Trip. If the number of days in the original Trip are in excess

of the number of days in the rebuilt Trip, the I/E will be charged sick leave for those excess days.

23-J-3-d An I/E who calls sick for a Trip that would otherwise increase their salary for the Bid Period shall have the Trip removed from their schedule, shall not have their salary increased, and their sick bank shall not be debited.

23-K-1 Line Flying as Pilot-in-Command (“PIC”)

23-K-1-a An Evaluator may fly as PIC, except that for purposes of Fly Days, Open Time Pickup and TIA Flying, a B777, B787, A350 or A380 Evaluator can only fly as PIC if the Evaluator is senior to the most junior Active Pilot in any B777, B787, A350 or A380 Captain Category.

23-K-1-b An Instructor may fly as PIC if they are senior to the most junior Active Pilot in a Captain Category for the Equipment in which they are an Instructor.

23-K-1-b-(1) If a qualified Instructor (i.e., an Instructor who is cleared to conduct training) requires additional training to perform flying as a PIC, the Company shall provide such training, in order of Instructor line seniority. An Instructor may decline such training or bypass the opportunity for such training with the right to request such training at a later date.

23-K-1-b-(2) The Company may not provide training required to perform flying as a PIC to an Instructor who is not qualified as an Instructor or who has been an Instructor for less than six (6) Bid Periods. Notwithstanding this Section 23-K-1-b-(2), a new hire full-time Instructor who is already a Captain on the Equipment on which they will be instructing may fly as a PIC provided they meet the requirements in Section 23-K-1-b-(3).

23-K-1-b-(3) In order to fly as a PIC, the Instructor must have completed at least twenty- four (24) Bid Periods of combined line operations and instructing on the Equipment in which they will fly as a PIC.

23-K-1-b-(3)-(a) Following a safety risk assessment conducted with the participation of the ALPA Central Air Safety and Training Committees, this limitation may be reduced to no less than eighteen (18) Bid Periods of combined line operations and instruction.

23-K-1-b-(4) An Instructor who undergoes training to fly as a PIC must satisfy all “high minimum” requirements and be fully qualified as a PIC prior to returning to full-time Instructor duties. While satisfying “high minimum” requirements, the Instructor may be scheduled for no more than four (4) days of work at the Flight Training Center per Bid Period, though the Instructor may be scheduled for more than four (4) days of work at the Flight Training Center in a Bid Period in which the Instructor is projected to satisfy “high minimum” requirements with any events in excess of four (4) scheduled after the projected satisfaction of “high minimum” requirements.

23-K-1-b-(4)-(a) During the time an Instructor is performing flying to satisfy “high minimum” requirements, the Instructor will be built a schedule in accordance with Section 23-D-2, with fly days replacing all work days in excess of the permitted four (4) days of instruction. The additional fly days awarded shall not count towards the

required annual allocation contained in Section 23-K-5-a-(1) and may be prorated for the Bid Period if the Pilot is projected to satisfy “high minimum” requirements during the Bid Period.

23-K-1-b-(4)-(b) An Instructor performing flying to satisfy “high minimums” requirements shall do so through FBO. Any such flying shall contain an average of no less than four hours and thirty minutes (4:30) of block time per day, net of any block time accrued via deadhead or in the non-flying position of an augmented crew, and it is expected that the Instructor will perform flying on the same number of days as fly days awarded. The Company may remove an Instructor from a Trip that does not satisfy these requirements.

23-K-1-b-(4)-(c) For example, based on the requirements of Section 23-K-1-b-(4)-(b), an Instructor requires an additional five (5) fly days in order to satisfy “high minimum” requirements. The Instructor may be scheduled for more than four (4) days of work at the Flight Training Center in the Bid Period, though no more than four (4) of those days may occur prior to the fifth (5th) additional fly day.

23-K-2 When planning to perform any Flight Training Center event prior to a flight assignment (other than deadheading) in the same Duty Period, the I/E’s scheduled duty day may not exceed three and one-half (3.5) hours less than any applicable FAR or contractual duty limit.

23-K-3 If an I/E intends to deadhead before or after conducting training during a single Duty Period, the scheduled Duty Period shall be governed by Section 5. An I/E who is conducting proficiency flying using FBO may be scheduled for a deadhead within a single Duty Period after conducting training that exceeds the Section 5-E-1-d-(1) Duty Period limits so long as the I/E would be scheduled for an Off-Duty Period of at least twelve (12) hours at the layover station prior to report and satisfies all other legalities.

23-K-4 An I/E who is qualified to maintain currency through a 439a landing currency event is responsible for maintaining his landing currency; otherwise an I/E will be scheduled for a landings class (LDRQ) on a scheduled day of work at FTC. An I/E who is qualified to maintain currency through a 439a landing currency event will be allowed to utilize available Company simulator devices to perform required landings to maintain currency, but will not be provided additional work days to maintain currency. If an I/E is having difficulty finding necessary simulator time the I/E shall work with their Scheduling Manager to find such time.

23-K-5 Fly Days

23-K-5-a Fly Day Allocation and Required Flight Hours

23-K-5-a-(1) A minimum of thirty (30) additional RDOs for annual Fly Days shall be allocated for A320, B737, EMB 190/195, CRJ900, and A220 I/Es each year from the January Bid Period to the December Bid Period. A minimum of thirty-six (36) additional RDOs for annual fly days shall be allocated for B756, B777, B787, A330, A350, and A380 I/Es each year from the January Bid Period to the December Bid Period.

23-K-5-a-(2) I/Es on the A320, B737, EMB 190/195, CRJ900, and A220 fleets shall be required to complete seventy-two (72) flying hours each year from the January Bid Period

to the December Bid Period. I/Es on the B756, B777, B787, A330, A350, and A380 fleets shall be required to complete eighty-six (86) flying hours each year from the January Bid Period to the December Bid Period.

23-K-5-a-(3) The annual allocation of RDOs for Fly Days and the annual flying hour requirements shall be prorated for periods of unavailability. Flying performed in accordance with Section 23-K-6 shall not apply toward satisfying the flying hour requirements.

23-K-5-b The Company shall normally allocate I/E RDOs for Fly Days each Bid Period. However, the Company may defer allocation of RDOs for Fly Days to the next Bid Period and, with I/E concurrence, to the subsequent (third (3rd)) Bid Period.

23-K-5-c The number of I/E RDOs and I/E VDOs in excess of the minimum required in any given Bid Period shall be available to meet the thirty (30) (or thirty-six (36) fly day requirement.

23-K-5-d The I/E may use any day to meet the annual proficiency flying requirement. An I/E’s required flying hours may be satisfied using either FBO or Open Flying at the I/E’s discretion.

23-K-5-e Open Time Pick Up

23-K-5-e-(1) I/Es may pick up open time in accordance with Section 20.

23-K-5-e-(2) For Trips picked up from Open Time on days off (other than TIA), I/Es shall receive Add Pay for the incremental pay value of the Trip in excess of five and three-tenths (5.3) hours average per day (if any), in addition to their monthly salary. For example, an I/E who, on his days off, picks up an open EWR two-day Trip with a Pay Value of twelve (12) hours shall receive one and four-tenths (1.4) hours of Add Pay in addition to his monthly salary. Notwithstanding Section 3-I-2, the ‘greater of’ comparison made in this Section 23-K-5-e-(2) shall be on the basis of pay hours.

23-K-5-e-(3) Notwithstanding Section 23-K-5-e-(2), Open Time Trips originating from the Denver Pilot Base, and flying obtained through FBO shall not receive such Add Pay.

23-K-5-f In order to avoid a conflict between line flying and a reserve day, the following shall apply:

23-K-5-f-(1) An I/E who picks up or FBOs a Trip with a scheduled end time after 1600 the day before an unassigned reserve day shall be considered to have waived the twelve (12) hours free-from-duty requirement in Section 23-E-2.

23-K-5-f-(2) Prior to scheduled release on an unassigned reserve day, an I/E shall be prohibited from picking up or FBOing a Trip with a scheduled report time before 1300 on the day after the unassigned Reserve Day.

23-K-5-f-(3) An I/E with an assignment on a reserve day may not pick up or FBO a Trip that reports earlier than ten (10) hours after the scheduled end of the assignment.

23-K-5-g I/Es who conduct line flying (other than TIA) after meeting their annual flying hours requirement may only do so using FBO.

23-K-5-h If the I/E is going to FBO a Trip from a line Pilot, the I/E is responsible for attempting first contact with the FBO Pilot. If unable to contact the Pilot, the I/E must contact Crew Scheduling for assistance.

23-K-5-i If due to operational circumstances beyond the I/E’s control (e.g., reassignment) an I/E will not meet the flying hour requirements, the I/E may present a copy of the Trip to fleet management within fourteen (14) days of the last Duty Period in the Trip. Fleet Management shall review the Trip and award additional I/E RDOs in order to meet the requirement if appropriate. If the additional I/E RDOs extend beyond the year, the I/E RDOs allocated shall not count toward the annual fly day allocation for the next year.

23-K-5-j If an I/E is FBO’d from a Trip, the I/E shall be credited for the flying hours of the Trip toward his annual flying hours requirement. An I/E may not FBO a trip from another I/E without Company concurrence.

23-K-5-k Requests by I/Es to deviate from scheduled deadhead must be coordinated through Crew Scheduling.

23-K-5-l An I/E’s annual proficiency flying must be accomplished on or before the end of the December Bid Period. On a monthly basis, the Company shall provide an accounting of year to date annual flying hours to each I/E in order to ensure adequate time to determine the I/E’s remaining flying hour obligation. I/Es who do not fulfill their flying hour obligation by the end of the December Bid Period shall not have the opportunity to make up the flying in the following year. Fleet Management shall resolve any end of year discrepancies beyond the control of the I/E in consultation with the I/E Representatives.

23-K-5-m An I/E’s OE requirement will not be scheduled on Fly Days, even if requested by the I/E to do so.

23-K-6 Training Instructor/Evaluator Add (TIA)

23-K-6-a I/Es may not pickup TIA flying which conflicts with their I/E assignments.

23-K-6-b A Trip that is available to Out of Base Lineholders with premium pay shall be available to an I/E for TIA. An I/E shall only receive the TIA pay as defined in Section 23-K-6-d. The I/E shall not receive the Lineholder premium attached to the Trip.

23-K-6-c TIA shall only be available on days off, after release from reserve, or on a work day after completion of an assignment. I/Es may not pick up TIA flying on a work day until released by Flight Training Center Scheduling.

23-K-6-d TIA shall be paid at the I/E’s appropriate hourly rate (regardless of seat flown) multiplied by the pay value of the Trip flown. TIA pay is additional to his monthly salary.

23-K-6-e An I/E may pick up TIA flying even if he has reached his annual flying hour requirement.

23-K-6-f If an I/E loses the originating leg (not the positioning flight from the training center city) of a TIA Trip, the I/E will have no obligation for further flying under Section 20-F-1. Additionally, the I/E's pay shall be handled as follows:

23-K-6-f-(1) If an I/E is advised of the loss of flying prior to Report Time of the originating leg of the open Trip (not the positioning flight from the training center city), they will lose the TIA pay.

23-K-6-f-(2) If the I/E is advised of the loss of flying after actually reporting at Report Time to the first leg of the open Trip (not the positioning flight from the training center city) they will be protected for the TIA pay.

23-K-7 Deadhead segments to/from flying assignments shall be included as part of the Trip.

23-K-8 When an I/E has a scheduling conflict between line flying and Flight Training Center assignments, the I/E shall be responsible at his earliest convenience for notifying Flight Training Center Scheduling and Crew Scheduling, as appropriate.

23-K-9 Deadhead segments to/from flying assignments will not be included when complying with Sections 5-E-12-a, 5-E-12-b, and 5-E-12-d.

23-K-10 I/Es while performing line flying are not eligible for Premium Pay under 20-H-4 and 20-H- 5, but will be eligible for all other Add Pay. If an I/E performing line flying is reassigned or operates a delayed Trip into a day off, the day off shall be restored unless the Trip contains more than five (5) additional flying hours than the originally scheduled Trip. If restoration is required, it shall occur within the next three (3) Bid Periods for which the I/E is scheduled to perform work at FTC.

23-K-11 Notwithstanding Section 2-YY, for I/E flying that includes an FRMS Flight Segment, a one (1) minute “fake” Flight Segment may be built to and from the departure Base of the original Trip from and to DEN to accommodate FRMS acclimation tracking requirements.

23-K-11-a For example, a DENTK 787 I/E flying a LAX-MEL Trip will have a one (1) minute LAX- DEN Flight Segment built prior to the DEN-LAX deadhead positioning Flight Segment and a one (1) minute DEN-LAX Flight Segment following the LAX-DEN deadhead positioning Flight Segment. These one (1) minute Flight Segments are to ensure proper FAR 117 tracking of crew legalities using the current legality checking process.

23-L-1 The rate of pay for I/Es shall be determined as follows:

23-L-1-a Ninety (90) hours per Bid Period at the hourly rate (or blended rate if applicable) for the I/E’s Best Held Position, plus the override provided in Section 23-L-2. "Best Held Position" is defined as the highest paying Position in which a Pilot junior to the I/E holds an award pursuant to Section 8.

23-L-1-b Notwithstanding Section 23-L-1-a, all Instructors shall have their hourly pay rate capped at the twelfth (12th) year Captain A320 blended pay rate, plus the override provided in Section 23-L-2. This capped hourly pay rate applies to all references to ‘best held’ pay rates in Section 23.

23-L-1-c Evaluators (including Job Share Evaluators in an Evaluator bid period) who are qualified as an LCP shall be paid the greater of (1) the compensation set forth in Section 23- L-1-a including the override in 23-L-2, or (2) the hourly (blended) rate applicable to the aircraft they are qualified in and evaluate on, plus the hourly LCP override, multiplied by 90

hours. Such comparison shall be on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For Evaluators paid under option (2), the LCP override shall only apply to their base pay (90 hours). As an example, the LCP override would not be added to the hourly rate for an Evaluator performing an overtime event.

23-L-2 In addition, Instructor and Evaluator overrides for Bid Periods acting in the capacity of Instructor or Evaluator shall be paid as follows. Such amounts shall be indexed to the average hourly Pilot pay rate increase as reflected in Section 3-A (rounded to the nearest dollar) for any change occurring after the January 2027 Bid Period:

23-L-3 Pilots who function as an I/E in the Equipment type for which they are currently qualified shall begin receiving Instructor or Evaluator pay upon reporting to the Flight Training Center. Pilots who require training for the Equipment in which they shall be instructing shall begin receiving I/E pay upon completion of LOE, but not later than forty-five (45) days after reporting to the Flight Training Center, provided they successfully complete the training necessary to become an I/E.

23-L-3-a I/E override pay shall begin on the day the I/E reports to the Flight Training Center, and shall be prorated based on the number of days in the Bid Period for which the I/E is staffed in the Flight Training Center.

23-L-4 When an I/E returns to the line, he shall continue to receive I/E pay plus prorated override until the Pilot completes LOE for his new line assignment. If training is not required, pay is effective the first (1st) day of the Bid Period as a line Pilot.

23-L-5 Subsequent to a bid award resulting in an hourly rate change for an I/E, the effective date for the pay status change shall be as follows:

23-L-5-a The first (1st) day of the Bid Period following the bid award for an I/E whose hourly rate increases, or

23-L-5-b The published effective date of the bid for an I/E whose hourly rate decreases.

23-L-6 In a thirty-day Bid Period, an I/E’s 90-hour salary shall be reduced by 1/17th (5.3 hours) for each work day missed due to an unpaid absence. In a thirty-one-day Bid Period, an I/E’s 90-hour salary shall be reduced by 1/18th (5.0 hours) for each work day missed due to an unpaid absence. Qualification override is not prorated due to unpaid absences, but when an I/E’s unpaid absence(s) cover the entire Bid Period, he shall not receive the qualification override.

23-M-1 There is no freeze incurred for the training required to become an I/E.

23-M-2 A full time I/E shall not incur a freeze for a line vacancy award made as a “paper bid”.

23-M-3 When an I/E utilizes a line vacancy award to return to the line in accordance with Section 23-Q-3, the I/E shall incur any training freeze applicable to the I/E’s vacancy award minus the period from the award date to the effective date of the award. For example, an I/E awarded a vacancy on June 28, 2023 with an effective date of October 30, 2023 that would normally incur a twenty-four (24) month training freeze in accordance with Section 8-D-1-a and who voluntarily returns to the line to begin training on June 28, 2024 as a result of that award shall be subject to a training freeze of twenty (20) months.

23-N-1 A Pilot transferring to or from a full-time position in a Company Flight Training Center shall be eligible for a paid move in accordance with Section 10.

23-N-1-a This eligibility does not apply to Pilots transferring between the Denver Pilot Base and the Denver Flight Training Center.

23-N-1-b There is no freeze associated with the move.

23-N-2 A full-time I/E transferring or who is surplused from one Flight Training Center location to another is eligible for a paid move in accordance with Section 10.

23-N-3 TDY assignments of thirty (30) days or more shall not count against any time limits specified in Section 10.

23-O-1 During line flying and jumpseat observation required for proficiency and associated deadheading, the Company shall provide I/Es with lodging, ground transportation, and expenses in accordance with Section 4.

23-O-2 While on TDY assignments, I/Es shall receive twenty-five dollars ($25) per day plus per diem in accordance with Section 4-E-1 while conducting any training/checking or other duties away from their assigned Flight Training Center location. For purposes of Section 4-E-1, a travel day on an l/E's calendar is a "required day on duty" and/or a "Duty Period".

23-O-3 For Company required meetings when meals are provided, the twenty-five dollars ($25) per day provision above does not apply. Any reasonable and actual business expenses not covered above shall be paid in accordance with Section 4-E-3.

23-O-4 When conducting I/E duties away from the I/E’s assigned Company Flight Training Center, a rental car shall be authorized by Fleet Management if adequate transportation is not available or other extenuating circumstances exist.

23-O-5 Expenses for an I/E receiving training shall be paid in accordance with Section 9 of the Agreement.

23-P-1 Vacation Accrual

I/Es shall accrue vacation in accordance with Section 11 of the Agreement.

23-P-2 Vacation and Vacation Days Off (I/E VDOs)

The maximum number of I/E RDOs that can be assigned to one (1) vacation period applies to annual and monthly vacation awards. In addition, I/E RDOs may be requested prior to or following a vacation period up to and including the full allocation of monthly I/E RDOs remaining. These requests shall be honored to the maximum extent possible, in seniority order and before the I/E RDO requests of I/Es that do not have vacation.

23-P-3 When combined vacation days, I/E RDOs, and I/E VDOs exceed available days in the Bid Period, the excess vacation days shall be extended into the adjacent Bid Period.

23-P-4 The following maximum number of I/E RDOs (shown in the table below as I/E VDOs) can be scheduled as part of a vacation period:

23-P-5 Annual Vacation Bidding

23-P-5-a Annual vacation bidding or modifications shall be conducted in accordance with Section 11 of the Agreement. Vacations are awarded in order of seniority within each fleet and position as Instructor or Evaluator.

23-P-5-b Prior to the close of monthly I/E RDO bidding preceding a vacation month, an I/E may request to slide the starting date of his vacation by up to three (3) days earlier or later than his published vacation start date. Vacation slides greater than three (3) days must be

approved by Flight Training Center Scheduling. Vacation slides must remain within the scheduled Bid Period.

23-P-5-c For a period of ten (10) days following annual vacation awards in the Flight Training Center, an I/E may move a scheduled vacation period to another period in seniority order within position for which an unassigned vacation period exists in the same fleet, position, and location. Unassigned vacation periods following annual awards shall be posted in a manner mutually agreeable to the Company and the Local Council representatives.

23-P-5-d With approval of the Company, an I/E may trade a vacation of equal length with another I/E in the same fleet, position, and location.

23-P-5-e Notwithstanding Section 11, with Company approval, awarded seven (7) day vacation periods may be split after publication of the monthly schedule (provided in Section 23-D-1) for the Bid Period containing the vacation.

23-P-6 Monthly Vacation Bidding

23-P-6-a I/Es have the option to bid for unassigned vacation periods on a Bid Period basis in line seniority order. Monthly vacation bidding can be accomplished any time up until the twenty-fifth (25th) of the month prior to the close of monthly I/E RDO bidding for any weeks remaining within the current vacation year.

23-P-6-b Notification of a monthly vacation award shall be given to the I/E no later than the first (1st) day of the Bid Period preceding the month in which the vacation is awarded. If an I/E does not receive this notice he shall not be required to take the awarded vacation.

23-P-7 Vacation Drops

23-P-7-a Based on available manpower, as determined by Flight Training Center Scheduling, an I/E may be allowed to drop an assignment(s) or reserve day with pay, reducing the next year's vacation accrual on a day for day basis. Next year's accrual shall be handled in accordance with Section 11.

23-P-7-b Vacation Drop requests shall be considered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the needs of the Company.

23-Q-1 An I/E shall be given forty-five (45) days written notice prior to reassignment to line flying in the event of a surplus in a particular fleet. All surplus dates must be the first day of a Bid Period.

23-Q-1-a Any I/Es who do not transfer to another I/E position in a Flight Training Center pursuant to Section 23-B-5 shall be returned to the line in inverse seniority order.

23-Q-1-b I/Es may accept voluntary surplus under terms outlined in Section 8 of the Agreement. Any surplus I/Es returning to the line shall be entitled to a surplus in accordance with Section 8.

23-Q-2 An I/E removed from I/E status due to documented inadequate performance:

23-Q-2-a Shall not be entitled to a surplus. Instead, the I/E shall return to his Category no sooner than the beginning of the next Bid Period for which he has an opportunity to bid.

23-Q-2-b Shall not be considered surplused for the application of Section 23-B-5.

23-Q-2-c Shall be eligible for a paid move in accordance with Section 23-N.

23-Q-3 The I/E shall return to his current Category when voluntarily returning to the line. An I/E leaving I/E status voluntarily must give at least forty-five (45) days’ advance notice to the Senior Manager - Fleet Training, unless a shorter notice time is mutually agreed to. The return date submitted by the I/E must be the first day of a Bid Period.

23-Q-4 Return to the Line Following Surplus or Voluntary Return for Full-Time I/Es

23-Q-4-a An I/E shall be released from work obligation if, after ninety (90) days following the return date the I/E submitted under Section 23-Q-3 or the surplus date under Section 23-Q- 1, required training has not begun. This ninety (90) day period shall be suspended during a disruption to his training schedule as defined in Section 8-F-8-b.

23-Q-4-b An I/E who does not require training may be retained as an I/E for no longer than ninety (90) days following the return date the I/E submitted under Section 23-Q-3 or the surplus date under Section 23-Q-1. The I/E must be notified no later than the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month prior to the Bid Period for which he will be retained as an I/E (e.g., no later than May 10 for the June Bid Period). Any retention of an I/E in accordance with this Section 23-Q-4-b shall be offered in seniority order (or, if insufficient volunteers, assigned in inverse seniority order) and must be in increments of a full Bid Period. Once an I/E has been activated in his line assignment, he is no longer considered an I/E, and may regain I/E status only under the provisions of Section 23-B-5.

23-Q-4-c Notwithstanding Section 23-Q-4-b, a JS I/E shall return to the line (i.e., lose his status as an I/E) on the return date the I/E submitted under Section 23-Q-3 or the surplus date under Section 23-Q-1.

23-Q-5 Return to the Line Following Surplus or Voluntary Return for Job Share I/Es

23-Q-5-a A Job Share I/E who is returning to the line, and who needs aircraft training to qualify or re-qualify for a newly awarded line assignment, shall give notice to FTC management of their intent to return to the line upon learning of the new award. The Job Share I/E and Fleet Management will discuss the expected timeline for the Job Share I/E’s transition training and conclusion of I/E duties.

23-Q-5-b A Job Share I/E who is returning to the line, and who needs aircraft training to qualify or requalify for a newly awarded line assignment obtained through vacancy bidding or displacement may be scheduled to begin qualification or requalification training in a “line month” or “FTC month”, including “flex” months pursuant to Section 23-R, and will be paid as follows until the first day of OE per Section 23-L-4:

23-Q-5-b-(1) For the portion of training scheduled during any “FTC month”, pay in accordance with Section 23-L;

23-Q-5-b-(2) For the portion of training scheduled during any line month, pay in accordance with Section 3-E. Line pay for time spent in training for the new assignment during as “line month” will be paid at the I/E’s pay rate for the existing line Category, unless the new pay rate has been triggered under Section 8 (i.e., if the Job Share I/E has qualified for delayed

activation pay or pilot-for-pilot pay protection for the awarded Category, such pay rate shall apply during any training scheduled during a “line month”).

23-R-1 Minimum Full Time Staffing Requirements

23-R-1-a At least twenty percent (20%) of the Pilot Manpower Equivalent (“PME”) staffed as Evaluators, by fleet, shall be full time Evaluator positions.

23-R-1-b At least seventy-five percent (75%) of the PME staffed as Instructors, by fleet, shall be full time Instructor positions.

23-R-1-c When calculating the required full time Evaluator or Instructor positions, fractions shall be rounded to the next higher full time position.

23-R-1-c-(1) Example: 787 Evaluators are staffed to eleven (11) PME. Applying twenty percent (20%) to eleven (11) PME is two and two-tenths (2.2) full time Evaluators, which rounds to three (3).

23-R-1-d Should the annual total “flex in” of JS Instructors or Evaluators, by fleet, exceed an average of two “flex in” Bid Periods per JS Instructor or Evaluator, then, upon request, the Company and Local Council representatives shall meet to discuss manpower issues in the affected fleet. If the parties are unable to reach agreement to address the manpower issues, the issue may be referred to the Managing Director of Training, the senior-most flight- qualified Vice-President in charge of Flight Operations and the Master Chairman for resolution.

23-R-1-d-(1) Example: There are four (4) JS Instructors (equivalent to two (2) PMEs) in a fleet. In a normal annual rotation there would be twenty-four (24) Bid Periods assigned to FTC and twenty-four (24) Bid Periods on the line for the group. In a specific calendar year, the Company flexes in the JS Instructors in the fleet a total of nine (9) times, for an annual allocation of thirty-three (33) Bid Periods at FTC and fifteen (15) Bid Periods on the line. As the nine (9) flex-in Bid Periods across four (4) JS Instructors exceeds an average of two (2) “flex-in” Bid Periods per JS Instructor in the fleet (which would be a total of eight (8) “flex- ins”), the review may be requested. For the purpose of this calculation, the allocation of the nine (9) flex-in bid periods among the four (4) JS Instructors is not material.

23-R-1-e When there are unfilled full time Evaluator or Instructor vacancies on a fleet, the Company may exceed the floors provided in Section 23-R-1-a and 23-R-1-b, respectively, provided that (-1-) the Company maintains a “rolling” vacancy for the unfilled full time position(s) and (-2-) all JS Instructors or Evaluators, as applicable, in the fleet are offered the opportunity to “flex” in to the Flight Training Center during any Bid Period in which the floor has not been met.

23-R-1-f Any Instructor employed as a full time Instructor as of date of signing of this Agreement shall continue to be employed as a full time Instructor on that fleet until the Instructor leaves the position in accordance with Section 23-Q or voluntarily accepts another position at the Flight Training Center. In any case, an I/E that is not a JS shall not be required to convert to JS status without his concurrence.

23-R-2 Qualifications and Hiring

23-R-2-a A JS I/E must hold a bid award in the line Status and Equipment for which he is seeking a JS position.

23-R-2-b A JS Instructor must be a Captain or First Officer on the fleet on which he instructs. A JS Evaluator must be a Captain on the fleet on which he instructs/evaluates.

23-R-2-c Vacancies for JS Instructor or Evaluator positions must first be offered to full time Instructors or Evaluators, respectively, on that fleet that hold a bid award on that fleet, in seniority order. Likewise, vacancies for full time Instructor or Evaluator positions must first be offered to JS Instructors or Evaluators, respectively, on that fleet, in seniority order.

23-R-2-d When hiring into JS Instructor positions in accordance with Section 23-B-5-d (from the line), consideration shall be given to ensuring proportional representation of JS Instructor from Equipment-Bases through the system. Namely, JS Instructor hires should not disproportionately come from a particular Equipment-Base if similarly qualified candidates are available in other Equipment-Bases.

23-R-2-e A full time Instructor or Evaluator who transitions to a JS Instructor or Evaluator position, respectively, will be scheduled for work at the Flight Training Center during their first two (2) “fly” months following the effective date of the transition. The transitioning I/E shall not be considered “flexed in” for the purpose of Section 23-R-1-d or Section 23-R-3-c, but shall otherwise receive all other benefits of being a Job Share I/E, including the scheduling of RDOs for fly days in accordance with Section 23-R-3-d.

23-R-3 JS Rotation

23-R-3-a An even number of Pilots in the same fleet and Status may alternate duty as an I/E in the same fleet and position on a Bid Period basis. One Pilot shall normally fly the line on his awarded bid, while another Pilot shall normally perform I/E duties at a training facility. The Company, however, shall permit flexibility in this monthly scheduling rotation, provided the Company and both Pilots concur as to any alterations proposed by the Pilots. For example, a JS I/E who is scheduled to work in a Training Center during February may request to remain on the line instead, provided an I/E in the same fleet and Status who was scheduled to work on the line remains in the Training Center during that month.

23-R-3-b A JS I/E shall be scheduled in the same manner as a full time Instructor or Evaluator, except that he shall not be allocated RDOs for fly days. Except for provisions contained in Section 23-R-9, partial month assignments shall not be made.

23-R-3-c Notwithstanding any other provisions in Section 23-R, with Pilot concurrence, JS I/Es may be flexed for a full Bid Period to a Flight Training Center or to a line assignment out of normal rotation and without a corresponding offset in the normal rotation of another JS I/E. However, a JS I/E may not be flexed to the line more than two (2) Bid Periods a year and in no event may the flex cause a JS I/E to work more than three (3) consecutive Bid Periods on the line in a year. The opportunity to flex shall be offered in seniority order by position. Once awarded, a Job Share I/E’s scheduled Line and FTC months will only be modified in accordance with this Section 23-R-3-c.

23-R-3-d Notwithstanding Section 23-R-3-b, when flexed into the Flight Training Center during an originally scheduled line Bid Period, two (2) RDOs for fly days shall be allocated in the A320, B737, EMB190/195, CRJ900, and A220 fleets and three (3) RDOs for fly days shall be allocated in the B756, B777, B787, A330, A350, and A380 I/Es fleets in that Bid Period. If a JS I/E is flexed into the Flight Training Center such that he is serving a fourth (4th) consecutive Bid Period in the Flight Training Center, the JS I/E shall be assigned RDOs for fly days for that Bid Period and any subsequent Bid Period at the Flight Training Center, as prescribed above, until he has another line Bid Period. A JS I/E is expected to perform proficiency flying during Bid Periods in which the JS I/E is awarded fly days in accordance with this Section 23-R-3-d.

23-R-3-e In no case shall a JS I/E be flexed into the Flight Training Center to increase PME during a period in which Pilots are on Involuntary Furlough, or Pilots are being displaced in anticipation of the effective date of a furlough. Namely, under these circumstances the Company may only flex a JS I/E into the Flight Training Center to maintain PME due to another I/E(s) being unavailable.

23-R-3-f The Company must declare a flex month on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month two (2) months prior to the flex month. For example, before June 25th for an August flex month.

23-R-4 JS I/Es whose primary residence is outside of a 120 mile radius of the Flight Training Center shall be entitled to the following travel and lodging benefits:

23-R-4-a On-Line positive space travel in accordance with Company business travel policy (NRPS) to and from their training location and their primary residence. In lieu of On-Line positive space travel (NRPS) and with prior approval of fleet management, I/Es may drive their own vehicles to training events. Mileage expense is reimbursed in accordance with the rate outlined in the Company expense policy.

23-R-4-b Company-provided lodging, using procedures outlined in the Company travel policy, during their Flight Training Center month, and the night before and after each Trip or each reserve day during their flying month.

23-R-4-c A JS I/E who is eligible for lodging shall receive per diem calculated from the briefing time for the first event and ending at the debrief time for the last event within a consecutive number of days worked (regardless of the specific nights the JS I/E utilizes lodging provided in accordance with Section 23-R-4-b).

23-R-5 JS I/Es who reside within a 120 mile radius of the Denver Flight Training Center but do not have an available Equipment-Base in Denver or are junior to the junior-most Pilot in their Equipment at the Denver Equipment-Base shall be entitled to the following travel and lodging benefits:

23-R-5-a On-Line positive space travel in accordance with Company business travel policy (NRPS) to and from their flying Base and their primary residence.

23-R-5-b Company-provided lodging at their flying Base, using procedures outlined in the Company travel policy, for the night before and after each Trip or each reserve day during their flying month.

23-R-6 Return to the Line

23-R-6-a JS I/E assignments are predicated on the continued staffing of an even number of JS I/Es in the same fleet and Status.

23-R-6-b A JS I/E who is leaving a JS I/E assignment must immediately notify Fleet Management.

23-R-6-c An odd number of JS I/E in a given fleet and Status, as a result of a return to the line, may exist for no more than six (6) Bid Periods; while that odd number of JS I/E exists, the most junior JS I/E in that fleet and Status cannot flex to the line. If the number of such JS I/E remains odd for more than six (6) Bid Periods, the most junior JS I/E shall be surplused, effective with the first day of the seventh (7th) Bid Period. Notwithstanding Section 23-Q-4, that most junior JS I/E may not be scheduled to work in a Training Center after the surplus effective date.

23-R-6-d The Company may elect to maintain an even number of JS I/E by offering, in seniority order, a full time position to another JS I/E in the same Status and fleet; if the Company so elects, then, notwithstanding Section 23-B-5, no vacancy posting is required.

23-R-7 JS Surplus and Recall

23-R-7-a If a surplus is required in a fleet that includes JS I/Es, the following shall apply:

23-R-7-a-(1) All JS I/Es shall be surplused in inverse seniority order prior to any involuntary surplus of a full time I/E.

23-R-7-a-(2) A full time I/E may accept a voluntary surplus in lieu of a JS I/E in accordance with Section 23-Q-1-b. Any full time I/E who accepts a voluntary surplus shall not be considered in establishing the required full time staffing after a surplus in accordance with Section 23-R-7-a-(4).

23-R-7-a-(3) Should the voluntary surplus of a full time Instructor bring the Company out of compliance with the balancing requirements of Section 23-R-1, the Company shall offer full time Instructor positions to existing JS Instructors in that Fleet in seniority order to restore the balance. This provision shall not apply to restoring the balance of Evaluators.

23-R-7-a-(4) Should full time I/Es be involuntarily surplused, the number of full time positions in the fleet as of the effective date of the surplus must be restored prior to hiring or recalling of JS I/Es. This requirement shall continue for thirty-six (36) months after the effective date of the applicable surplus.

23-R-7-b Examples

23-R-7-b-(1) On December 31, 2022 there are eighty (80) full time Instructors on a fleet (assume all JS Instructors have already been surplused). Five (5) full time Instructors are involuntarily surplused with an effective date of January 1, 2023. An additional five (5) full time Instructors are involuntarily surplused effective January 1, 2024. Any hiring prior to January 1, 2026 must restore eighty (80) full time Instructors before JS Instructors can be hired or recalled. Any hiring after January 1, 2026 and prior to January 1, 2027 must restore seventy-five (75) full time Instructors prior to hiring or recalling JS Instructors. After January

1, 2027 the Company can reallocate the full time and JS positions based on the minimum full time staffing requirements (75/25 proportion), though no full time Instructor can be required to take a JS position.

23-R-7-b-(2) On December 31, 2022 there are ten (10) full time Evaluators on a fleet (assume all JS Evaluators have already been surplused). Three (3) full time Evaluators are involuntarily surplused with an effective date of January 1, 2023. On January 1, 2024, a full time Evaluator is recalled, bringing the total back to eight (8). On January 1, 2025, three (3) full time Evaluators are involuntarily surplused, bringing the total down to five (5). Any hiring prior to January 1, 2026 must restore ten (10) full time Evaluators prior to hiring or recalling JS Evaluators. Any hiring after January 1, 2026 but prior to January 1, 2028 must restore eight (8) full time Evaluators prior to hiring or recalling Job Share Evaluators (even though staffing had fallen below eight (8) between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024).

23-R-7-b-(3) There are eighty (80) full time and forty (40) JS Instructors in a fleet, or 100 PMEs. The Company announces a surplus of ten (10) PMEs. Five (5) full time Instructors accept a voluntary surplus, and ten (10) JS Instructors are involuntarily surplused. That brings the balance to seventy-five (75) full time and thirty (30) JS Instructors, or 75/90 (83.3%) full time PME. This is within the limits of 23-R-1-b and so no changes need to be made to the balance of full time/JS Instructors. Since no full time surpluses are involuntary, the hiring restriction of 23-R-7-a-(4) does not apply.

23-R-7-b-(4) There are eighty (80) full time and forty (40) JS Instructors in a fleet, or 100 PMEs. The Company announces a surplus of thirty (30) PMEs. Thirty (30) full time Instructors accept a voluntary surplus. That brings the balance to fifty (50) full time and forty (40) JS Instructors, or 50/70 (71.4%) full time PME. Since meeting the requirement of 23-R-1-b for seventy (70) PMEs requires fifty-three (53) full time Instructors, or 52.5/70 (75%0, to restore the balance the Company must fill vacancies for three (3) full time Instructor positions (which must first be offered to JS Instructors, in seniority order) and then surplus JS Instructors to bring that total to thirty-four (34). Since no full time surpluses are involuntary, the hiring restriction of 23-R-7-a-(4) does not apply.

23-R-7-b-(5) There are twenty (20) full time Instructors in a fleet, with no JS Instructors. The Company announces a surplus of three (3) Instructors. Two (2) senior full time Instructors accept a voluntary surplus and the most junior full time Instructor is involuntarily surplused. The hiring restriction of Section 23-R-7-a-(4) only requires restoration to eighteen (18) full time Instructors (seventeen (17) remaining + one (1) involuntary surplus) prior to hiring JS Instructors.

23-R-8 For the Bid Period in which he shall be functioning as a line Pilot, the JS I/E shall participate in PBS for line awards.

23-R-9 JS Transition Between Line Month and Training Month

23-R-9-a A JS I/E with a Trip that carries into his training month shall have the following options:

23-R-9-a-(1) He may elect to drop the Trip without pay.

23-R-9-a-(2) He may elect to fly the Trip. His pay for the carry-in portion of the Trip shall be the greater of: (1) the pay value of such carry-in portion, at his best held hourly rate; or (2) five and three tenths (5.3) hours per day, at his best held hourly rate, for each training month work day that conflicts with the Trip.

23-R-9-a-(3) With mutual concurrence, the Trip or portion of the Trip may be dropped in order to position the I/E to begin his I/E duties. In this case, the I/E shall be pay protected for the portion of the Trip in the line month and shall receive only his Flight Training Center salary for the training month.

23-R-9-a-(4) In no case shall the JS I/E have less than the minimum number of required I/E RDOs in accordance with Section 23-D-2.

23-R-9-b A JS I/E based in Denver during his line month shall be provided twelve (12) hours free of duty measured from release of the last Trip in his line month to report for the first event in his FTC month. A JS I/E not based in Denver during his line month shall be provided eighteen (18) hours free of duty measured from release of the last Trip in his line month to report for the first event in his FTC month. The I/E may waive this restriction in the Actual Operation.

23-R-9-c With mutual concurrence, a JS I/E may extend his I/E duties into the next line month for a period not to exceed four (4) calendar days in the line month. The I/E shall be paid the greater of (1) five and three tenths (5.3) hours per day worked, at his best held hourly rate; or (2) the actual Pay Value of the Trip or any portion of the Trip dropped. The JS I/E shall also receive prorated I/E override for the number of days of I/E work in the line month.

23-R-9-c-(1) If, as a result of performing I/E activities in his line month, the I/E has fewer days off than originally scheduled in his awarded line, those lost days off shall be restored to him in his next training month or, with his concurrence, given to him as vacation credit days for the next vacation year, but in no case shall the JS I/E have less than the minimum number of required days off specified in Section 5-E-4 or 5-E-5, as applicable, in his line month.

23-R-9-c-(2) All applicable contractual rest provisions shall be applied prior to the I/E beginning his line duties.

23-R-9-d A JS I/E who picks up line flying after the award of their FTC Month schedule on scheduled days off during a line month that extend into scheduled days off in the FTC month shall be pay protected should such flying be removed from the JS I/E’s schedule, if the JS I/E agrees to perform reserve duty (RSV) on the affected day(s) off in the FTC month. Such JS I/E on RSV shall be assigned FTC duties in accordance with Section 23-G.

23-R-9-d-(1) For example, after the JS I/E’s FTC schedule is awarded the JS I/E picks up a four-day Trip that covers the last day of the JS I/E’s line month and the first three (3) days of the JS I/E’s FTC month schedule (which were scheduled days off). The entire Trip cancels and the JS I/E is removed from flying. The JS I/E would be subject to Section 20-F for the last day of the line month and would be pay protected for the last three (3) days of the Trip if the JS I/E agrees to sit reserve (RSV) in accordance with Section 23-G for the first three (3) days of the FTC month.

23-R-10 JS Vacation

23-R-10-a Each Pilot who begins as a JS I/E after the award of annual vacation shall maintain any vacation period(s) previously awarded. Remaining unawarded vacation may be taken by the JS I/E either while functioning on the line or in a Company Flight Training Center, depending on where he is assigned for the particular Bid Period. This monthly vacation shall be awarded under Section 11 in a line month or under this Section 23 for vacation awarded in a Company Flight Training Center.

23-R-10-b Pilots functioning as JS I/Es during the annual vacation bidding process shall split their total vacation between the line and the Company Flight Training Center in the following manner:

23-R-10-b-(1) JS I/Es shall divide their vacation day allotment by seven (7) to determine the number of blocks of vacation available.

23-R-10-b-(2) If there is a partial block (e.g., thirty (30) days divided by seven (7) leaves a two (2) day partial block), these days shall be bid and awarded at the Company Flight Training Center.

23-R-10-b-(3) If there is an even number of blocks of seven (7), the blocks must be bid and awarded evenly between the Company Flight Training Center and the line.

23-R-10-b-(4) If there is an odd number of blocks of seven (7), after applying Section 23- R-10-b-(3) the JS I/E has the option to bid the remaining block at either the Company Flight Training Center or on the line.

23-R-10-b-(5) All vacation weeks shall be available to JS I/Es. A vacation week that transits two Bid Periods shall attach to whichever Bid Period contains the majority of days in the vacation week.

23-R-10-b-(6) Example: If a JS I/E has twenty-three (23) days of vacation he shall have three (3) blocks of seven (7) days of vacation available. The partial block of two (2) days must be taken at the Company Flight Training Center. One (1) block of seven (7) days must be taken at the Company Flight Training Center and one (1) block must be taken on the line; the JS I/E may take the remaining block at either the Company Flight Training Center or on the line.

23-R-10-c With Pilot concurrence, assigned vacation in a month where the JS I/E has volunteered to flex to the Flight Training Center may be deferred to Monthly Vacation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 provided he retains the Minimum Annual Vacation in Section 11-E-2 of the Agreement as awarded vacation. The vacation period may also be deferred to a subsequent month in the same vacation year in which the JS I/E is scheduled in the Flight Training Center and in which vacation is available.

23-R-10-d An JS I/E with awarded vacation in a Flight Training Center who volunteers to flex to the line may only defer the vacation to a subsequent month in the same vacation year in which he is scheduled in a training facility and in which vacation is available; if there is no such month in which vacation is available, or if the deferral shall take the Pilot’s awarded vacation

below the Minimum Annual Vacation in Section 11-E-2 of the Agreement, the JS I/E is not eligible to flex to the line.

23-R-10-e When a JS I/E has a Vacation Period that is partly in a Bid Period in which he is functioning as a line Pilot and partly in a Bid Period in which he is functioning as an Instructor or Evaluator (after considering any vacation slide that may have occurred), during the Instructor or Evaluator Bid Period the VDO table in Section 23-P-4 shall be applied as if the entire Vacation Period was in the Bid Period in which he is functioning as an Instructor or Evaluator. Then, the number of such VDOs shall be reduced as follows (VDO days cannot go below zero):

23-R-10-e-(1) This provision applies only to a singular Vacation Period (after any vacation slide that may have occurred) that crosses two (2) Bid Periods. It does not apply to Vacation Periods that happen to be adjacent.

23-R-10-e-(2) Examples:

23-R-10-e-(2)-(a) JS I/E has a seven-day Vacation Period. Two (2) days are in Line Bid Period and five (5) days in I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of one (1) VDOs to zero (0) VDO.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(b) JS I/E has a seven-day Vacation Period. After executing a vacation slide, two (2) days are in Line Bid Period and five (5) days in I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of one (1) VDOs to zero (0) VDO.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(c) JS I/E has a fourteen-day Vacation Period. Four (4) days are in Line Bid Period and ten (10) days in I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of two (2) VDOs to zero (0) VDOs.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(d) JS I/E has a fourteen-day Vacation Period. Ten (10) days are in a Line Bid Period and four (4) days in I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of two (2) VDOs to zero (0) VDOs.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(e) JS I/E has a fourteen-day Vacation Period. Twelve (12) days are in a Line Bid Period and two (2) days in I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of two (2) VDOs to zero (0) VDOs.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(f) JS I/E has a fourteen-day Vacation Period that was awarded in the Primary Cycle of Annual Vacation awarding. Twelve (12) days are in a Line Bid Period and two (2) days in I/E Bid Period. In the Secondary Cycle of Annual Vacation awarding, the I/E is awarded a seven-day Vacation Period adjacent to the fourteen-day Vacation Period. Apply this table only to the fourteen-day Vacation Period, by reducing the 23- P-4 VDO result of two (2) VDOs to zero (0) VDOs. This example also applies to adjacent vacation awarded in the Tertiary Cycle, in Monthly Vacation awarding, achieved by sliding vacation, etc.

23-R-10-e-(2)-(g) JS I/E has a fourteen-day Vacation Period. Twelve (12) days are in a Line Bid Period and two (2) days in I/E Bid Period. In addition, JS I/E has a seven-day Vacation Period later in the month, entirely in the I/E Bid Period. Reduce the 23-P-4 VDO result of two (2) VDOs to zero (0) VDOs for the fourteen-day Vacation Period. Use 23-P-4 to apply one (1) VDOs to the seven-day Vacation Period.
