United pilots contract, SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT — Company and ALPA’s dispute concerning the application of Section 20-A-3

A. The parties agree that the following sequence of events, used as an example, is permissible under Section 20-A-3:

1) A Captain trip is open;

2) The companion First Officer trip is currently assigned to a low-time First Officer;

3) Using allowable UPA procedures, the Company may assign the open Captain trip to a low-time Captain or avoid the conflict by utilizing a Captain without low-time;

4) If the Company assigns a low-time Captain, the low-time First Officer will be removed from his trip expeditiously, using the provisions of Section 20-F.

5) If the trip is augmented and the ‘flying’ First Officer trip is now open, then the Company will expeditiously start the following process:

a. The Company will try to assign the open ‘flying’ First Officer trip in accordance with Section 20-I. The parties agree that Section 20-I-12 may not be used to reassign the IRO (relief pilot) to the ‘flying’ First Officer trip.

b. After exhausting previous steps in Section 20-I, the IRO First Officer may be reassigned to the ‘flying’ First officer trip under Step Five.

c. Once the IRO First Officer is reassigned to the ‘flying’ First Officer trip and the IRO First Officer assignment is open, the low-time First Officer may be assigned to the ‘IRO’ First Officer trip pursuant to Section 20-I.

B. The parties further agree that if the Company’s application of Section 20-A-3 results in a situation that requires “changes to existing assignments in order to comply with such restrictions”, then for purposes of Section 20-I-8-b, any trips that become open due to the application of Section 20-A-3 shall be considered to have become open at the time

such situation was created, and not at the time the changes to the existing assignments are actually made.

C. Example: DCA 777 Captain trip is open. The companion DCA 777 First Officer trip is currently assigned to a low-time First Officer. The DCA 777 IRO trip is currently assigned to a First Officer who is not low-time. Assume that, according to the UPA, the Company assigns the open Captain trip to a low-time Captain.

1) The low-time First Officer will be removed from his trip expeditiously and may be assigned or reassigned, using the provisions of Section 20-F-1-a or 20-F-1-b, as appropriate. The Company will then attempt to cover this Trip using the 20-I provisions. Assume the low-time First Officer agreed to a field standby assignment under the provisions of Section 20-F-1-a-(5).

2) If the Company exhausts all options in Step One through Step Four and meets the requirements in Section 20-I-8, the Company may now utilize Section 20-I-9- b and reassign the IRO to the open ‘flying’ First Officer trip. (The Company is not required to delay or further delay the Trip’s scheduled departure time in order to ‘exhaust all options’.)

3) This creates an open IRO trip, which the Company will attempt to cover using 20-I. In this case, the original ‘flying’ First Officer is available via his field standby assignment, so he can be assigned to the open IRO Trip, under Section 20-I-6.

4) If the Trip is scheduled to depart within four (4) hours of the scheduled Departure time of a Global Trip or within three and one-half (3.5) hours of the scheduled Departure time of a Basic Trip, the parties acknowledge that paragraphs 1) through 3) above may occur concurrently.

D. Example: DCA 777 Captain trip is open. The companion DCA 777 First Officer trip is currently assigned to a low-time First Officer. The DCA 777 IRO trip is currently assigned to a First Officer who is not low-time. Assume that, according to the UPA, the Company assigns the open Captain trip to a low-time Captain.

1) The low-time First Officer will be removed from his trip expeditiously and may be assigned or reassigned, using the provisions of Section 20-F-1-a or 20-F-1-b, as appropriate. The Company will then attempt to cover this Trip using the 20-I provisions. Assume the low-time First Officer falls under the provisions of Section 20-F-1-b.

2) If the Company exhausts all options in Step One through Step Four and meets the requirements in Section 20-I-8, the Company may now utilize Section 20-I-9-band reassign the IRO to the open ‘flying’ First Officer trip. (The Company is not required to delay or further delay the Trip’s scheduled departure time in order to ‘exhaust all options’.)

3) This creates an open IRO trip, which the Company will attempt to cover using 20-I. In this case, the original ‘flying’ First Officer is available under Section 20-F-1-b-(2) (provided it is within two (2) hours of the time he was advised of the loss of his flying), via Section 20-I-4-a, so he can be reassigned to the open IRO Trip.

4) If the Trip is scheduled to depart within four (4) hours of the scheduled Departure time of a Global Trip or within three and one-half (3.5) hours of the scheduled Departure time of a Basic Trip, the he parties acknowledge that paragraphs 1) through 3) above may occur concurrently.

If this accurately reflects our understanding, please sign and return two (2) copies for our files.
