2. Prior to the Company publishing a proposed E-COLA for bid, the System Schedule Committee shall have the opportunity to consult with and make recommendations on the terms of the E- COLA.

A.3

3. Once awarded, the benefits of an E-COLA cannot be modified.

A.4

4. With Company concurrence, a Pilot who has been awarded an E-COLA may terminate his awarded E-COLA or be awarded a new E-COLA prior to the expiration of his existing award. Any such award will not reduce the number of E-COLAs available for award.

C. Enhanced Surplus Reduction Lines (“E-SRL”)

C.1

1. In addition to the provisions of Section 20-Q-8, the Company may offer a suite of E-SRL programs. Each E-SRL may contain, at the Company’s discretion, different duration, number of paid hours, and/or compensation dates. For example, the Company may offer an E-SRL that is two (2) Bid Periods in duration, contains twenty (20) hours of pay in each Bid Period, and delays twenty-five (25) hours of pay for each Bid Period until December 31, 2020 (total of ninety (90) hours of pay). For example, for Pilots who are eligible to participate in a deferred compensation program, the Company may offer an E-SRL that is three (3) Bid Periods in duration, contains ten (10) hours of pay in each Bid Period, and defers fifty (50) hours of pay

for each Bid Period until December 31, 2022 (total of one hundred eighty (180) hours of pay).

C.2

2. Any hours of pay delayed or deferred in an E-SRL program shall be paid at the Pilot’s hourly pay rate for the Bid Period during which the Pilot was on an E-SRL. Should a Pilot’s hourly rate of pay change due to a change in Category during the term of a multi-Bid Period E-SRL, the Pilot’s new hourly rate of pay shall be effective in accordance with the provisions of the basic Agreement.

C.3

3. The Company may tailor an E-SRL program for Pilots who are retiring within the time period of the program.

C.4

4. Prior to the Company publishing a proposed E-SRL for bid, the System Schedule Committee shall review and approve the terms of the E-SRL, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

C.5

5. A Pilot with vacation during the time period of the E-SRL will be allowed to be awarded the E- SRL, although the Add Pay for the vacation period shall be offset against the value of the E- SRL.

C.6

6. Landing Class and Recurrent Training Requirements While on E-SRL

C.6.a

a. A Pilot on E-SRL(s) for two (2) or more consecutive Bid Periods may be required to attend a landings class or recurrent training during his E-SRL. The Company will allow the Pilot some discretion in the dates of the assignment.

C.6.a.i

i. Provided the Company offers the Pilot at least three (3) different dates, which must be at least two (2) days apart, for the landings class or recurrent training that satisfy the requirements of ii and iii below, Trips dropped after the E-SRL expires due to a lapse of currency will be dropped without pay. If a Pilot is provided less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to the scheduled Departure from his Base for the event and declines the event, such offer shall not be counted as one (1) of the three (3) required offers.

C.6.a.ii

ii. A Pilot shall only be required to attend landings class or recurrent training while on E-SRL if he is projected to lapse currency while on the E-SRL or within the first (30) days after the end date of the E-SRL. For example, a Pilot on an E-SRL with a return date of September 1 shall not be required to attend landings class or recurrent training while on E-SRL unless his current lapse date is prior to October 1. A Pilot may waive this requirement.

C.6.a.iii

iii. A Pilot shall not be required to attend landings class or recurrent training if the time period between the scheduled Arrival time of the Company-designated flight from the Pilot’s Base to the training location and the scheduled start time of the training event/landings class is greater than forty-eight (48) hours or if the time period between the scheduled end time of the training event/landings class and the scheduled Departure time of the Company-designated flight from the training location to the Pilot’s Base is greater than forty-eight (48) hours. This restriction shall not apply if a Pilot’s home of record is within two hundred (200) miles of the training location; however, such Pilot will be reimbursed for his mileage expenses.

C.6.b

b. At its discretion, the Company may retain, or drop without pay, recurrent training that was awarded in the recurrent training bidding process.

C.6.c

c. Any Pilot attending landings class or recurrent training during an E-SRL shall be paid three and three-quarters (3.75) hours of Add Pay for each Day of the footprint of the event. Such pay may not be delayed.

C.7

7. In no case shall an E-SRL that spans only one (1) Bid Period pay less than fifty (50) hours; however, some or all of the pay may be delayed or deferred.

C.8

8. Should multiple E-SRLs be offered covering identical periods of time but having different bidding deadlines, any Pilot awarded an E-SRL for that period of time that had an earlier bidding deadline shall have the option to change to the terms of the E-SRL for that period of time that had a later bidding deadline. For example, the Company first offers one (1) Bid Period E-SRLs for the June Bid Period having fifty-five (55) hours pay with no delayed pay. Later the Company offers one (1) Bid Period E-SRLs for the June Bid Period having sixty (60) hours pay, with forty (40) hours delayed. A Pilot who was awarded the earlier E-SRL can, at his option, change to the terms of the later E-SRL.

goes unfilled, the unfilled award may be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to any eligible Pilot in that Category. E-COLA or E-SRL programs with different bidding deadlines are considered to be discrete programs.

The earliest this LOA can be terminated is for the July 2020 Bid Period. The termination of this LOA shall not result in the cancellation of any E-COLA or E-SRL, nor result in the cancellation of any requirements of the awarded E-COLA or E-SRL, unless the Pilot concurs to have his award canceled.

This Letter of Agreement shall become effective upon signing and shall run concurrent with the provisions of Section 25 Duration, of the basic Agreement.
