Dear Ms. Sachs;

RE: Vacation Accrual Transition, Third Vacation Split and Bid

The Company agrees that for the duration of the vacation accrual transition period, cabin personnel will be permitted a third split during which they may take their vacation entitlement. During this period, the Company will provide a third vacation bid to accommodate the additional vacation split.

Yours truly,

Kevin Howlett
Vice President, Labour Relations
