days until our Collective Agreement expires, we are preparing, we are united and we will make change.

Crew rest: flights not covered by Articles B14, L18, L22A and L22B

In our November 15, 2017 bulletin entitled “Crew Rest Guide – December 2017”, we provided information for B14, L18, L22A, and L22B flights.  If you missed that bulletin, please CLICK HERE.
Today, we concentrate on flights not covered by Articles B14, L18, L22A and L22B.
LAST SOLD SEATS
The Collective Agreement explains that on all aircraft, the Company will provide Cabin Crew with a certain bank of economy seats as “last sold” for crew rest/break.  These designated economy seats will be made available only after all other seats have been filled.  Cabin crew can use these seats for crew breaks (to eat) and/or crew rest (when applicable). Check with the gate agents to ensure the last sold seats are not occupied before boarding.  If passengers are assigned “last sold seats” when other seats are still available in the Y cabin, the Service Director should inform the Customer Sales & Service Agent immediately requesting the relocation of the passenger.  If the passengers are not relocated, we ask the SD to write a report and copy the local.
