LRD Bidding Tool 

In early September the LRD Bidding Tool will open in Crew Portal. At that time you can place a designator as to whether you want to be a line holder or reserve for October. Senior bump language will apply only during this time period.
Rotating Reserve will begin in October 

-Flight Attendants will be straight reserve up to one year seniority.
-Seniority years 2-4 will rotate one month reserve and one month line holder.
-Seniority years 5 and up will rotate one month reserve and 3 months line holder.

Last month a list of Flight Attendants at each year of seniority was published as a sample guide provided by the company.

This UDC chart is a fluid snapshot, as we have base transfers, VLOAs and other movement within the seniority that can effect the numbers.
