JOINT SCHEDULING COMMITTEE

The Joint Scheduling Committee is comprised of two separate groups of personnel, one group from the Union and one from the Company. The joint committee meets on a quarterly basis per Section 17 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The NJASAP Scheduling Committee volunteers work outside these quarterly meetings, collecting and analyzing scheduling data to improve overall quality of life issues for the membership. Additionally, the Union Scheduling Committee addresses day-to-day issues with pilots who have a scheduling issue, which typically involves vacation bidding, bid awards, aircraft bids, standing bids, and training dates. Union scheduling representatives rely on the relationships they have developed with Company schedulers to effect positive change for individual pilots.

Mission Statement
Union Scheduling Committee representatives are committed to improving quality of life issues for the membership by working with the Company on all scheduling-related issues. Committee representatives will engage in meetings with the Company in good faith to ensure contract compliance with scheduling issues addressed in Sections 3, 8, 14, 19, and 28 of the collective bargaining agreement. The committee seeks to develop new scheduling methods and concepts that enhance quality of life issues while simulatenously increasing Company utilization.

01/08/10 ANNOUNCEMENT CREWMEMBER-TO-CREWMEMBER VACATION SWAP GUIDELINES

Two crewmembers in the same fleet and duty position may request to “swap” awarded or assigned vacation weeks within the same vacation year. Vacation swap requests will be granted in accordance with the following guidelines:

	Crewmembers in the same fleet and duty position wishing to swap vacation weeks must submit the proposed vacation swap to the Company on a Company-designated form no later than the first day of the month prior to schedule publication. Two crewmembers will be regarded as “in the same fleet and duty position” for purposes of these guidelines if they have been released from IOE in the applicable fleet and duty position on the day the vacation swap is requested.

	A vacation swap may not result in the disruption or modification of a scheduled training event, nor will it interfere with a future training event required to keep a crewmember current.

	A crewmember may not swap a vacation week if the crewmember has a separation date that will occur prior to one or both of the vacation weeks involved in the swap.

	A crewmember may not request a vacation swap that would result in three (3) consecutive weeks of vacation.

	A crewmember may not swap more than one vacation week per calendar month. Further, a single vacation week may not be swapped more than one time per calendar month.

	A crewmember holding a supplemental duty position may swap vacation weeks with a crewmember who does not hold the same supplemental duty position; provided, that if the crewmembers involved in the swap do not share the same supplemental duty position, the Company may deny the swap for operational reasons.
