Reserve Flight Attendants who are not assigned within the Reserve Preferencing system or during the post-preferencing clean-up may be either released from contact for the following day or assigned to the Ready Reserve list for the following day where they will be placed in appropriate time accrued order. 

  • Excess Reserves will be released when the number of Reserves still available is equal to or greater than the projected number of Flight Attendants needed for the following day. 
  • If released, Reserves will be so advised by the automated communication system. 
  • If only a portion of the Ready Reserves can be released, they will be those at the bottom of the respective TMAC list. (i.e. those with the most time accrued.)  Keep in mind, those assigned Ready Reserve will not receive a Priority CCS Message advising of this assignment.  Flight Attendants assigned Ready Reserve are required to remain available for contact
