There seems to be some confusion as to position selection when a Flight Attendant (Reserve or Block holder) splits on to a pairing. Unless it is his/her line pairing position, a flight attendant who splits onto a pairing may not use his/her seniority to force a flight attendant who originated the pairing out of his/her position. If all flight attendants on the affected pairing agree to do so, there can be a redetermination of positions based on seniority among the flight attendants.
Again, a flight attendant who splits onto a pairing may NOT use his/her seniority to bump any flight attendant out of a position in which he/she originated. Section 9-M of our contract speaks to determining position selection. If you have any questions about this or any other issue, please contact .your AFA officers in Charlotte.
