From: Dear AFA

Beginning with the September schedule month our Contract (Section 18.B.2) provides that a Flight Attendant shall receive full vacation accrual provided she/he has completed a minimum of ninety-seven hours and thirty minutes (97:30) of paid activity in each quarter of the twelve-month period ending in the August schedule month prior to the vacation year. If a Flight Attendant flies less than the nighty-seven hours and thirty minutes (97:30) of paid activity in each quarter they will accrue one twenty-fourth (1/24) of the full vacation accrual for the calendar quarter for every sixteen hours and fifteen minutes (16:15) of paid activity in that quarter. If a Flight Attendant flies less than sixteen hours and fifteen minutes (16:15) of paid activity in that quarter no vacation will accrue.
