This E-Line - REVISED 10 MARCH 2005

For Flight Attendants who are still unsure of the new DH provision, pay and credit, below is the language from the AFA 2004 ratified agreement.

Provision states:

All Deadhead time will be compensated at 50% pay, no credit; however, for the purpose of pairing construction, trips will be constructed as if deadhead time would be 100% pay and 100% credit.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, deadhead pay for a Flight Attendant for a non-revenue flight leg on which those pilots who belong to the Flight Attendant's crew are paid as for  a "live" leg (e.g., a ferry flight) will be compensated at 100% pay and 100% credit.

Clarifications:

This 50% provision does not apply to a flight that was originally constructed as a working leg but in actual operation due to weather and/or mechanical, is rescheduled as a deadhead.

Because "extra" pairings may contain excessive deadheading, the AFA scheduling Committee will be given input into the construction of such pairings.

If you continue to be unsure of this language and how it applies, please contact your local AFA representatives.

MEC President, AFA-CWA
