United pilots contract, LOA 12-15 — FRMS Scheduling

1. Prior to submitting an FRMS application to the FAA for approval, the Company will obtain ALPA’s consent. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld and, if withheld, will be based solely on the merits of the FRMS application. Such consent shall not be withheld for a mandatory second break seat; this clause shall not diminish the parties’ rights under Section 5-J-11 Crew Rest Oversight Committee. ALPA’s reason(s) for withholding consent shall be provided to the Company in writing. However, ALPA may withhold its consent for any reason if the FRMS either seeks to raise any part of FAR 117 Table B above fourteen (14) hours or would require a change to the Agreement to be implemented.

2. Disagreements regarding any matter in Paragraph 1 of this Letter of Agreement must be resolved, including, if necessary, through an expedited grievance/arbitration process, before the Company may submit an FRMS application to the FAA. Both parties will abide by the arbitration decision.

3. ALPA hereby consents to FRMS applications seeking the following:

a. Using Base time instead of local time when complying with FAR for all Basic Duty Periods and for Global Duty Periods consisting solely of flights operating within North, South and Central America. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this Letter of Agreement, Sections 5-E-1-g-(1) and

5-F-1-j-(1) of the Agreement will be automatically modified to conform to the results of the FRMS application except that all flights within the continental United States will continue to use Base time.

b. Relaxing the flight duty period limitations for flights to and from India and Hong Kong, when those flights are scheduled to be sixteen (16) hours or less.

c. Excluding augmented flight duty periods from the FAR prohibiting an assignment if the Pilot’s total flight duty period time will exceed sixty (60) flight duty period hours in any 168 consecutive hours.

d. Extending FAR 117 Table A by one (1) hour when applying it to single-segment duty periods in the Actual Operation, provided that the FRMS application includes a process to ensure scheduled block times are and remain reliable.

e. An alternate flight duty period limitation, reserve duty period limitation, and inflight rest opportunity requirement in order to fly an “island-hopper” Trip (a multi-leg sequence between GUM and HNL), provided that the FRMS application calls for two Captains and two First Officers to fly the Trip. Notwithstanding Paragraph 1 of this Letter of Agreement, if the application is approved, Section 5-E-1 of the Agreement will impose no scheduled duty period limitation on such Trips, and when applying Section 5-E-1 of the Agreement, a duty period may not exceed the scheduled duty period length by more than two (2) hours (unless further restricted by the FRMS) without Pilot concurrence.

f. Defining an IPP seat that complies with the requirements of Sections 5-J-1-b-(3), 5-J-1-c-(1) and 5-J-1-c-(2) as a Class 1 Crew Rest Facility.

g. For double-augmented flights on aircraft equipped with an operational qualified Class 1 rest facility having two sleep surfaces meeting Class 1 criteria, increasing the Table C Flight Duty Period (FDP) limits by up to ninety (90) minutes and/or increasing the block hour limit by up to sixty (60) minutes, provided the application contains the following restrictions:

i. 777-200 bunked aircraft, as currently configured, require a second premium “break” seat in Business Class (as a minimum). Notwithstanding Section 5-J-1-c-(3)-(a), the parties agree that a substantive improvement to the crew rest facilities on such 777-200 aircraft (e.g., creating an overhead rest facility equivalent to the current Delta 777-200LR facility) will be evaluated by the CROC, in accordance with Section 5-J-11, to determine if this limitation should continue to apply.

ii. If the increase to the Table C FDP limit is more than sixty (60) minutes, the maximum allowable operational extension is reduced on a minute for minute basis for each minute of increase above sixty (60) minutes. (For example, if the Table C FDP limits are increased by seventy-five (75) minutes, the maximum allowable operational extension is reduced by fifteen (15) minutes resulting in a maximum allowable operational extension of one hundred five (105) minutes.)

iii. The Trip containing the FRMS flight(s) shall not be scheduled to contain more than two (2) Global Flight Segments. Additionally, such Trip shall not be scheduled to contain more than two (2) Flying Flight Segments. (HKG FRMS applications that have been reviewed with ALPA as of January 22, 2016 are exempt from this provision.)

iv. The published Official Airline Guide (OAG) scheduled departure time of the FRMS flight

must be within +/- three (3) hours of the scheduled departure time contained in the original FRMS submission.

v. If the FRMS flight originates at a Pilot Base, each Pilot must be acclimated to the North American theater and each Pilot’s Base must be within two (2) time zones of the point of departure.

vi. If the originating leg of a Trip is an FRMS flight, the minimum length of the actual rest period prior to conducting the FRMS flight (or prior to beginning a short-call assignment, when applicable) must be no less than twelve hours and forty-five minutes (12:45) and must protect one physiological night’s rest, as defined by FAR 117.

vii. Rest periods on layovers before or after an FRMS flight, excluding layovers that occur immediately before a Basic deadhead, must be scheduled to be at least twenty-two (22) hours and must actually be at least eighteen (18) hours, including one physiological night’s rest, as defined by FAR 117.

viii. The actual rest period following a Trip that contains an FRMS flight shall be no less than thirty (30) hours.

ix. Since the conclusion of his last physiological night’s rest, a short-call reserve assigned to the FRMS flight must only have been assigned to the short-call period required for this potential assignment and must not have completed or been scheduled for any other Duty Period or short-call assignment.

x. With the exception of pre-flight limitations and FDP, all other conditions, limitations, and mitigations associated with the FRMS flight must be applied to short-call reserves once they have been assigned an FDP that includes the FRMS flight.

xi. Short-call reserves will be available for an assignment at the beginning of the RAP, and an assignment to the FRMS flight must be made within the first four (4) hours of the RAP (that is, the period of time from the beginning of the RAP until the time the reserve is notified of the report time of the FRMS flight shall be no more than four (4) hours).

xii. When a Duty Period is modified to start with a reserve availability period (i.e., “Soft Start”), the new report time must be within four (4) hours of the originally scheduled report time.

4. ALPA shall continue to be involved in all phases of development and implementation of any FRMS application, regardless of whether the application is covered under Paragraph 3 above.

This Agreement will become effective on date of signing and remain in full force and effect concurrent with the basic Agreement.

AGREED, this 18th day of December, 2012.
