Reassignment scenarios under TA2022
Copy and paste from another forum…
The problem with the revised language is it allows other scenarios that were not allowed under current UPA language. Realize any lineholder that is reassigned can be used for an extra day into days off for basic crew and 48-60 hours later for augmented crews. These additional flying days are now legal assignments prior to using a Reserve. Current UPA this was not allowed on the first leg.
Here’s a possible scenario:
Basic crew reports for a two day trip, a 3-day trip opens shortly before they report. The crew desk could use this crew to fly the 3-day trip and use a reserve to fly the two day trip. A lineholder just filled one day of what would have been a needed reserve.
Global crew reports for their 5 day SFO-SIN trip, but crew desk hasn’t filled the unpopular 7-day W trip. Crew desk can reassign this crew to the 7 day trip and use reserves for the 5 day trip. Granted legalities can make this difficult, but it is now allowed when previous UPA would require all reserves and SRM used to fill such a reassignment first.
Also notice on the red lined version that the shorter global reassignment hour restrictions were also deleted, so reassignments at report time can use the full 48 or 60 hours, where previous UPA there were shorter limits of 36 and 48 hours when a reassignment had flying prior to the longer limits (known early in the trip, not last leg, etc). Why are those limits also being removed? See 20-L-4-a-(2) & 20-L-4-b-(2).
If the give was only the loss of 125% add pay, that would have been a much simpler red line version vs the pages of 20-I changes now. Also note the loss is 20-I-11 and the vacancy slot requirements if Step 5 was used too often. That’s gone as well.
This alone is reason to vote against this TA.
Please help educate your flying partners.
