  • RESERVE QUICK NOTES: JULY 08 RESERVE LINES

Dear Members,

RESERVE QUICK NOTES: JULY 08 RESERVE LINES

Please take some time to review SEC 11 Reserves, particularly C. Processing of Reserves. The company has chosen not to provide any INV days around the July 4th holiday in the July reserve line packet. The company needs to be reminded of our language in SEC 9 C. 5 - the reserve lines shall be constructed by the Company giving consideration to recommendations from the AFA Schedule Committee..

It would appear that no consideration to any recommendations from AFA were given as this is not the first time reserve lines were made only placing OFF days around a holiday. Dialogue needs to happen. AFA is entitled to an explanation from the company why no INV days were offered around the July 4th holiday - explanations of these decisions should be discussed and provided for review prior to construction of the reserve lines not after.

Now is the time for reserves to re- review SEC 11 - know your contractual rights.

There is language the company must comply with when or if they are going to assign a trip into a reserve's OFF day - PLEASE review this language. Ask about coverage, keep notes of who you speak to and the time. Please remember you are released after trip assignment pursuant to SEC 11 D 4.

Consider taking a courtesy call as you may have a better choice of trips than waiting for a trip from Daily scheduling or getting quick called. Remember you can only be assigned OPR twice pursuant to SEC 11 G particularly # 2. If assigned OPR remember to have scheduling place an ASG code in your screen.

If any reserve experiences any irregularities or has any questions regarding an assignment, please contact the local office.
