Company's intent allow Flight Attendants to split from their regularly awarded trips if awarded a CRAF charter.

The Company will only allow a Flight Attendants to fly a portion of their regularly awarded trip and then split off for a CRAF trip, if the regular trip was awarded prior to being awarded the CRAF charter. The Flight Attendant will need to contact crew scheduling to let them know where they would like the split to occur. Flight Attendants may elect to split off of their trip the day before the CRAF charter originates, or they may fly into the day that the CRAF charter originates, if they are legal to do so.
