New Bid Leave Relief Option Test for SFO At our recent meeting with Crew Resources, one of the base issues discussed were the open trips created by monthly bid leaves. In a joint effort, SFO APFA and the Company have agreed to a three month test period starting with the November bid run. A Bid Leave Relief line will be built for all bid leaves of 15 days or more. The Bid Leave Relief lines are awarded to the section of another flight attendants bid award that falls within their bid leave. This effort will reduce the amount of open replacements and provide an opportunity for more flight attendants to hold a partial line (bid leave relief). The Bid Leave Reliefs lines will be similar to the vacation relief lines. The difference is that the Bid Leave Relief lines will NOT be posted on the monthly bid sheet due to the timing of the bid leave awards, which are the 15th of every month. The Bid Leave Reliefs lines will be posted on the 15th of each month at AAFlightService | Crew Resources/Monthly Master Bidsheet Changes and a HI6 will be sent out for notification. The Bid Leave Reliefs lines will start with a 3500 number. In order to bid for a Bid Leave Relief line you must select Option 12 from your bid ballot to enter the”3500” relief number(s). This is the same process as bidding for a vacation relief line. If bidding for both reliefs enter 3300 and 3500 selections, then enter R2 after the regular bid selection to designate a relief is desired if seniority cannot hold the preferred selection. As with vacation reliefs the remainder of the sequence(s) that is not within the bid leave relief will be covered in open replacements or other reliefs. The availability legalities apply to all reliefs.
