Dear members,
The Union was made aware in late June that the Company was denying 100 hour bid requests from members on reserve, when it involved a pairing that overlapped into reserve days the following month.
As a follow up to our bulletin “Reserve Committee Update – Call-In Reserve” sent on July 5, 2018, I can confirm that effective immediately, the Company will allow reserve crew members to be awarded voluntary extension pairings at month end, when eligible, that overlap into reserve days in the following month.
In solidarity,
Marie-Hélène Major
President, Air Canada Component of CUPE
