Preferential Right of Return Letter of Agreement

Re: Preferential return rights for CDGSW, EWRSW, HNLSW, MIASW, PHLSW, SCLSW, and TPESW Flight Attendants
Dear Mr. Davidowitch:
The Letter of Agreement confirms an agreement between the Company and the Association as follows:
If CDGSW, EWRSW, PHLSW, TPESW or SCLSW should re-open on or before December 31, 2011, currently employed Flight Attendants who were based at the respective domicile as of the date of the announcement of the domicile's closure shall have first priority, in seniority order, in filling permanent vacancies. If this does not result in a fully-staffed domicile, remaining permanent vacancies will be filled pursuant to Section 22 of the UAL/AFA Flight Attendant Agreement ("Flight Attendant Agreement"). For purposes of this Agreement, the word "domicile" includes the former PHLSW modified co-terminal.
MIASW Flight Attendants are currently subject to an October 22, 2004 Letter of Agreement pertaining to preferential rights of return to a re-opened MIASW or any other domicile that is established in Florida. That October 22, 2004 Letter of Agreement shall remain in effect through the date of its expiration, May, 1, 2007. Should MIASW re-open after May 1, 2007, MIASW Flight Attendants shall have the identical preferential rights of return as provided above to CDGSW, EWRSW, PHLSW, TPESW and SCLSW Flight Attendants. However, the rights provided in this Agreement govern only a re-opened MIASW; MIASW Flight Attendants will not have preferential rights pertaining to a domicile established in Florida other than at MIA.
"Surplused" HNLSW and MIASW Flight Attendants may return to their former domiciles if either or both of these domiciles should have permanent vacancies within the next five years. Currently employed Flight Attendants who were displaced from HNLSW and MIASW due to the declaration of surpluses at those domiciles shall have first priority, in seniority order, in filling permanent vacancies at their respective former domicile through December 31, 2011. If this does not result in a fully-staffed domicile, remaining permanent vacancies will be filled pursuant to Section 22 of the Flight Attendant Agreement.
MIASW Flight Attendants will compete in seniority order for vacancies, regardless of whether they left as a result of the surplus or the domicile closure.
A Flight Attendant who fills a vacancy pursuant to this Agreement shall not be eligible for any moving expense payment or reimbursement contained in Sections 22 or 24 of the Flight Attendant Agreement or any other Company policy.
This Agreement is the exclusive source of preferential return rights for CDGSW, EWRSW, PHLSW, TPESW, and SLCSW Flight Attendants and Flight Attendants displaced from HNLSW and MIASW due to the surpluses. With respect to the MIASW Flight Attendants, this Agreement is the exclusive source of preferential return rights after May 1, 2007.
Please execute below to confirm the Association's acceptance. Thank you.
Sincerely,
