Dear Members,

The following CBS was sent to all Flight Attendants

Date: Tuesday, 1 November 2005 08:25 ET
To: Emc2-News-c
From: GUNSTEENS.T
Subject: Low Blk due to CXL

If you are unable to meet your flying obligation as a result of losing time due to the cancellation of scheduled flights to Cancun or Cozumel during the month of October, November and/or December, you will not be held accountable for low hours. This provision is an exception to the current contract language and is only applicable to flight attendants awarded such line/s of flying via Primary, Secondary, Secondary Augmentation and/or SAP. If possible, the expectation is that you should make an attempt to fly back the lost time by either utilizing the ETB or the AIL. Last trip cancellation pay protection language can be referenced in your CBA under Section 9.5.a. Should you receive a notification of low hours from your supervisor as a result of a cancellation or reschedule as described above, please provide your supervisor with the date/s and times of affected pairing when providing your response.

Thank you.
