Meals
Effective
January 1, 2009,
crew meals will be provided to flight attendants working non-transoceanic
international (NTI) flights under the following conditions:
a. Breakfast-type crew meals will be boarded on
flights which depart a regularly catered station between 0100-0700 local,
excluding “continuous on duty pairings”, and the initial flight within a trip
pairing departing a flight attendant’s domicile.
b. At a non-catered layover station for flights
originating between 0100-0700 local time, excluding “continuous on duty
pairings”, a breakfast-type meal or snack (such as cereal and fruit) will be
provided either at the layover hotel or airport.
c. In the event a limousine is used to transport a
flight attendant from one (1) airport to another following an overnight, the
departure time of the limousine, rather than flight departure, will determine
the allowance for a breakfast meal or snack pursuant to paragraph E.2. above.
d. For on duty periods that do not include a
breakfast-type crew meal in accordance with Paragraph E.2. above, the Company
will provide a crew meal, appropriately selected for the time of day, for each
on duty period scheduled in excess of six hours (6:00) that does not have a
scheduled ground time between flight segments of at least one hour (1:00) (or
one hour and fifteen minutes (1:15) for aircraft with one hundred and sixty
(160) or more seats). The contents of such meal will be determined by the
Company after consultation with the MEC Crew Meal Committee.
