(c) The Company will continue to assign American Airlines TWU represented employees in classifications designated by the Company to all stations wherein such TWU represented Fleet Service employees are assigned currently with 2555 and above annual departures or 1460 for Ground Service employees and will staff new cities (those not currently staffed by the TWU) at or above 5475 annual departures for Fleet Service employees and 3650 for Ground Service employees. The Company will also restaff former TWU staffed cities that have been de-staffed once those cities reach 2555 and above annual departures for Fleet Service employees and 1460 for Ground Service employees.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company will be obligated to continue staffing in those stations subject to Article 42 (b) even though those stations fall below 2555 (for Fleet Service) and (1460 for Ground Service) annual departures. Provided however, once those employees with station protection under Article 42 (b) have left the station, or the Company through retirement or otherwise, those stations will be subject to the 2555 (for Fleet Service) and (1460 for Ground Service) annual departure provisions.
The determination of the scheduled departures will be made each January 1 and July 1 and will consider the prior twelve (12) month period.
It is further agreed that as other stations are established during the term of this Agreement, the Union will be notified prior to the opening and conferences will be held between the parties regarding the staffing of these stations. The Company retains the right to staff such stations at its discretion.
Little Rock, AK. will be adding three American Airlines flights a day starting on April 5, 2011. As stated in the language above it will take seven flights a day to restaff Little Rock, AK and generate a recall.
