United pilots contract, LOA 12-10 — HIMS Program
1. The Company shall maintain the UHIMS program in accordance with the UHIMS Policy as the same may be collaboratively modified from time to time by the consensus decisions of the members of the HSC. The Company and the Association, and their respective representatives, shall discharge
the duties and perform the functions assigned to them under the Policy consistent with the purposes and objectives of the UHIMS program.
2. The parties have agreed to the Peer Pilot model of HIMS monitoring, which necessarily involves a significant contribution of time, and development of knowledge and expertise, by the volunteer Peer Pilots. Association members of the HSC and of the Base Monitoring Committees (“BMCs”), including all Peer Pilots, shall schedule their pre-planned activities relating to UHIMS so as to avoid conflicts between such activities and their flight schedules, and likewise shall not adjust their flying schedules to increase their Flight Time credit, pay or bank time on days which conflict with pre- planned activities relating to UHIMS. The intent of these provisions is to ensure that individuals performing necessary activities relating to UHIMS should neither lose nor gain compensation or benefits they otherwise would receive by flying the line. The parties recognize, however, that schedule conflicts shall occur, and that UHIMS activities are of such significance and benefit that treating them as Company required meetings for purposes of flight pay loss and providing Company business positive space travel are appropriate means to support the UHIMS program. The conditions and parameters for such support shall be determined by the HSC.
AGREED, this 18th day of December, 2012.
