The Company will award VF8's to the 200 most senior flight
attendants who applied for VF8. The effective start date of the
VF8 will be February 16, 2004. We expect the award today and results will post on theHub soon.
The Company will send notices (certified mail, return-receipt requested and regular U.S. mail) to the 552 flight attendants
who were involuntarily furloughed on January 15, 2004. Such notice shall advise these flight attendants that the involuntary
furloughs were rescinded and that the flight attendants will be
returned to their status as of January 14, 2004 (i.e., a flight
attendant who was active on January 14, 2004 will be returned to
active status at his/her base of record on that date; a flight
attendant on any other leave, including voluntary furlough, on
January 14, 2004 will be returned to that leave status at his/her base of record on that date.) Each flight attendant will
have seven (7) days from receipt of said notice to contact the
Company acknowledging his/her understanding of the requirement
to return to active status on February 16, 2004. If any affected
flight attendant through no fault of his/her own does not receive the letter, he/she will be placed on an unpaid status
and the Company will continue to attempt contact at the address
of record for up to thirty (30) days. The flight attendant will
be deemed to have resigned his/her position with US Airways if
after thirty (30) days the Company still cannot contact the flight attendant.
Those flight attendants who were active January 14, 2004 shall
be considered to have been active for the entire period from January 15, 2004 through their return on February 16, 2004 and
their records will not reflect any break in service for this time period.
Those flight attendants who were active January 14, 2004 will be
pay protected to their guarantee for the time period from January 15, 2004 through January 31, 2004.
Furthermore, these flight attendants will receive their prorated guarantee for the
period of February 1, 2004 through February 15, 2004 based on the prorated guarantee chart set forth in Section 3.B.3 of the
US Airways Flight Attendant Agreement. Such prorated guarantee
for the period of February 1, 2002 through February 15, 2004 shall be pay and credit and shall not be offset by any flying
these flight attendants perform in excess of thirty-five and one-half hours during the period of February 16, 2004 through
March 1, 2004.
These flight attendants will be slotted in least time order (LTO) based on their option with the thirty-five and one-half
credit upon their return on February 16, 2004.
These flight attendants will be assigned the same work schedule
for the remainder of February 2004 and will be given an opportunity to bid for a reserve schedule for the month of March
2004 if they are on reserve status, or will be a free spirit if
they would have held a lineholder status.
The terms of this letter are agreed to on a non-precedent, non-referral basis, and do not apply to any flight attendant
other than those 552 flight attendants who were furloughed on January 15, 2004 or who were awarded a VF8.
Any flight attendant who was involuntarily furloughed from active status on January 15, 2004, may apply to the Company for
reimbursement of actual and reasonable expenses associated with
a move which would not have been incurred but for the involuntary furlough. Such flight attendants who moved as a
result of the furlough announcement, and who returns, may also
apply for expenses incurred to re-establish their residence in
the domicile of record. See Rules Governing Reimbursement of Moving Expenses
Rules Governing Reimbursement of Moving Expenses
The following rules shall govern any application for reimbursement of moving expenses:
1. The type of expenses that will generally be considered reasonable are expenses incurred in terminating a lease, rental
of a moving van for a self-move or other expenses. (e.g.; loss
of utility or telephone deposit, mileage, shipping expenses).
2. The type of expenses that will not be considered reasonable,
and will not be reimbursed, include costs associated with the sale or purchase of a home, use of a commercial moving company
rather than a self-move, off-line airfare, gasoline, or other expenses incurred in traveling to or from the new residence.
3. Any expenses incurred by a flight attendant in returning to
his or her domicile of record will not be reimbursed if the new
residence is more than 200 miles from the domicile of record, or
if such expenses exceed those incurred in moving from the domicile following the furlough.
4. Application must be made by March 8, 2004 (21 days from
return date), and must be accompanied by documentation satisfactory to the Company establishing that the expense was
reasonably and necessarily incurred.
5. A form will be distributed to all affected flight attendants
with instructions for application for reimbursement.
