Filling of Premium Positions

(sec.9.F.7.c.3)

 

(3) If no purser qualified Flight Attendant is on board, or for open non-qualified purser positions (i.e. North America narrowbody), the open premium position is filled as follows:

 

(a) By the most senior Flight Attendant with at least one year of seniority who volunteers to work the position. If no one volunteers, then, 

 

(b) By the most junior reserve with at least one year of seniority. If none is available, then, 

 

(c) By the Flight Attendant who picked up the position through the open flying process, if she/he has at least one year seniority. If not, then, 

 

(d) By the most junior Flight Attendant on board with at least one year of seniority. 

 

(e) If there is no Flight Attendant with more than one year of seniority, then the premium position will be filled by the most senior Flight Attendant on the crew. 

 

Note: The name of the Flight Attendant assigned an open premium position, either voluntarily or not, will appear in the purser position on the FLTLOF (marked by an asterisk, indicating that it was open). If the Flight Attendant was assigned the position involuntarily (through drafting or reassignment), she/he is not considered to have picked up the position through the open flying process.
