United pilots contract, MOU 21-03 — Operations Familiarization for New-Hire Pilots

1. All new-hire Pilots must complete operations familiarization after the first day of basic indoctrination training and before the completion of Qualification training curriculum (such completion currently being a ‘DIFF 2’ event on the B756 fleet and an LOE on all other fleet types). Operations familiarization consists of two (2) operating cycles in any mainline aircraft type. A new-hire Pilot who fails to complete operations familiarization shall be placed on unpaid status, after completion of Qualification training curriculum, and shall remain on unpaid status until four (4) days after completing operations familiarization or until the start of IOE, whichever is earlier.

2. A new-hire Pilot who completes operations familiarization and submits all required documentation before completion of Qualification training curriculum shall receive four (4) hours of Add Pay, except that the Pilot shall not receive Add Pay if one (1) of the following conditions is satisfied:

a. The Pilot has four (4) or more consecutive days that pay two and eight-tenths (2.8) hours per day toward LPV, in accordance with Section 3-G-3.

b. The Pilot has three (3) or more consecutive days off during aircraft training.

3. The new-hire Pilot shall be provided PS5 positive-space authorization for the two (2) operating cycles; the Pilot is not permitted, nor is the Company required, to book over the positive-space authorization levels. The PS5 positive-space authorization is permitted only for flights that begin and end in the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States (CONUS), except that the authorization may also be used for any nonstop flights between DEN and Hawaii or Alaska that are operated by the aircraft type of the Pilot’s initial aircraft training. For any flights arriving into DEN (or other city used for training), the Pilot must have a scheduled online backup flight (including United Express). Both the primary and backup flights must be scheduled to arrive at DEN (or other city used for training) no later than two (2) hours prior to any scheduled training activity.

a. The Company shall develop and maintain a process for the new-hire Pilot to exchange seats, if necessary, with a United Airlines Pilot who is occupying a flight deck jumpseat; such process may include a requirement for the new-hire Pilot to check in with the flight’s Customer Service Representative. If a jumpseat has not been booked by a United Airlines Pilot thirty (30) minutes prior to scheduled departure, the new-hire Pilot may be booked in the jumpseat and the PS5 authorization canceled.

b. If the new-hire Pilot’s PS5 authorization is canceled in accordance with sub-paragraph a above, and if the new-hire Pilot is subsequently displaced from the jumpseat by a senior United Airlines Pilot, then for any flights arriving into DEN (or other city used for training), upon request the Company will either restore the new-hire Pilot’s PS5 booking on that flight, or create a new PS5 booking on the backup flight or any other flight routing that returns the Pilot in time for their next scheduled training event (including overselling and removing a revenue passenger to accommodate the new-hire Pilot).

4. A new-hire Pilot on operations familiarization is not eligible for lodging, per-diem, or any other expense reimbursement. However, if due to operational delays, cancellations or diversions the Pilot is required to overnight at an out-station, the Pilot may submit reasonable, actual lodging expenses.

5. A new-hire Pilot may use On-Line positive space transportation in accordance with Section 9- D-2 in conjunction with this operations familiarization requirement. When doing so, the new-

hire Pilot is not required to travel only to and from their primary residence or Base, provided the combined travel starts or ends at such primary residence or Base and is scheduled for the same or adjacent days. For example, a Pilot training in Denver who resides in ORD may elect to schedule an operations familiarization flight from ORD to MCI then use the 9-D- 2entitlement from MCI to DEN. Additionally, said Pilot may elect to use the 9-D-2 entitlement from ORD to MCI then schedule an operations familiarization flight from MCI to DEN.

6. The flight crew operating the flight is expected to assist the new-hire Pilot in completing their operations familiarization requirement, to the best of the flight crew’s abilities given the operational circumstances.

This Memorandum of Understanding shall become effective upon signing, shall be implemented starting no later than with the first basic indoctrination training class on or after the date the operations familiarization rule takes effect (currently April 27, 2022), and shall run concurrently with the provisions of Section 25 of the basic Agreement, except that the MOU shall terminate if operations familiarization ceases to be an FAA requirement or if the requirement substantively changes.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have signed this Memorandum of Understanding dated this day of July 2021.
