Additionally, once Crew Scheduling has paged or left a telephone message for a Reserve flight attendant on call, they will have fifteen (:15) minutes to respond. These fifteen minutes will be deducted from the 2-hour call out time.
Line Bidding–Section 8.A.1.…Each month, schedules for the following month will be posted and available for bid from 15th to the 20th, or the 16th until the 21st. The bidding process opens at 12:00 Noon CT and closes at 12:00 Noon CT, 5 days later. The company can adjust the timeline due to unforeseen circumstances and if this happens, the company will notify the Flight Attendants ASAP. Flight Attendants can bid all lines published in the bid sheet and these lines will be awarded to qualified flight attendants in seniority order. If you fail to bid or do not bid enough lines, you will be assigned the lowest un-bid numerical line of time, in order of seniority.

The Company will notify Flight Attendants when OT is blocked and unblocked via company E-mail (HI6) and these HI6 messages will be time stamped. If a date that had been previously blocked, subsequently becomes unblocked, the Company will begin to process all requests to pick up OT that had been submitted and on file by submission date.
