Common use of Workover Clause in Contracts

Workover. 1. All pilots who work extra duty days over and above their assigned work schedule will be paid for the extra days worked at a workover rate, except that all types of training outside the pilot's normal work schedule shall be paid according to Article 21. Base Pay, Section 9. 2. Separate workover volunteer lists will be maintained at each base and at Lafayette Scheduling. These lists will indicate the days the pilot is willing to "workover" at particular bases on his normal time off. Each list will include a telephone number (or beeper number) where the pilot may be reached. Workover will be limited to a maximum of four days for any seven-day off-time period unless otherwise approved by the business unit manager or Director of Operations. A pilot who desires to have his name added to the workover list at a specific base(s) shall notify by Sunday 12 noon in writing (email, fax or otherwise) the appropriate Area Manager(s) (or their representatives) of his desire to workover. Each pilot is limited to requesting workover at two (2) specific bases, however, he may also send his workover request to Lafayette Scheduling. This request shall include the pilot's name and contact number, the date(s) the pilot is available for workover, the aircraft the pilot is qualified to fly, his current job assignment and the date of his last workover. If the pilot is assigned offshore and has no means of notifying the base(s) except by telephone, the base will accept and note on the workover list such verbal notification for this pilot. If the pilot is willing to workover at any base, he will send his workover request to Lafayette Scheduling and will include the information listed above. Each workover list will be purged at the end of each calendar quarter and pilots who desire workover will be required to resubmit their workover requests as described above. 3. The Employer will first attempt to award workover to pilots with off days between training and their normal work hitch. For other available workover the Employer will allow the pilot in the order described below to choose which workover he desires to work. Available workover will be awarded in the following order: a) to pilots on that job at the base, b) on a rotating basis to all other pilots on the workover list starting with the pilot who reported the greatest length of time since his last workover at that base. In the event two or more pilots report the same length of time since their last workover, the pilot with the most bidding seniority will receive the workover. When a base workover list is exhausted, Lafayette Scheduling will provide a pilot for the workover on the same basis as described above. When the workover lists are exhausted, the Employer may fill the position with any qualified pilot who is employed by the Employer. If the Employer is still unable to fill the job requirement under the procedures outlined in this Article, workovers shall be assigned based on bidding seniority, starting with the least senior qualified pilot, except that once a pilot has worked three (3) such workover days per calendar year, the next least senior qualified pilot shall be required to accept the next mandated workover until he reaches three such workover days and so on until the seniority list is depleted. Further assigned workovers would then revert to the least senior pilot until he reaches six (6) mandated workover days in a calendar year and then continue as described above. Once the pilot has accepted a workover assignment, it may not be changed without prior mutual agreement between the pilot and the Employer. 4. The pilot will designate on the workover request form with the Area Manager (or his representative) if he is available for "emergency workover" (workover opportunity which requires the pilot to report within two hours). Qualified pilots will be selected for emergency workovers on the same basis as described in Section 3 above. 5. A pilot may request and be approved by the Employer to take compensatory time in lieu of receiving workover pay. A pilot will be compensated at his regular base pay for any approved compensatory time taken. 6. A pilot will be passed over for workovers when: A. A pilot is not qualified. B. A customer requests a certain pilot or requests that a certain pilot not fly his job. C. There is a conflict with a pilot's regular job (i.e., FAR limitations). D. The dates of a pilot's availability conflict with the length of the workover requirement. E. An off-duty pilot does not answer a phone call from the Employer or does not return a message left on his answering machine within fifteen (15) minutes. The time and date of the attempted call to contact the pilot will be documented by the Employer. F. A pilot is unable to give a definitive answer at the time of the call. G. An off-duty pilot will be allowed to use a beeper as his contact number only for normal workovers and will have fifteen (15) minutes to respond to his page or he will be passed over for a workover assignment. The pilot is responsible to make certain that his beeper is in working order. H. An on-duty pilot cannot be contacted within two (2) hours. 7. A pilot who has expressed interest in workover and subsequently twice refuses a workover without having previously removed his name from the workover request list will be removed from the workover list for the next four (4) calendar weeks, and he may not put his name back on that specific workover list during this period. 8. The Director of Training or his designee shall determine workover in the Training Department. The Director of Operations and the Director of Training (or their designees) shall determine placement of Instructor/Check Airmen in the performance of their duties, including line checks. 9. For jobs that are assigned to pilot/mechanics, any qualified pilot/mechanic will be called first for those workover assignments. 10. If a pilot on a Gulf of Mexico assignment is required to remain overnight due to head-to-head crew change requirements, he will receive workover pay based on duty time rounded to the next hour with a minimum of two (2) hours and a maximum of one full day workover once he has been on duty at least eight (8) hours for that day. 11. The Employer reserves the option to pay a premium rate (e.g. workover) for all time it deems appropriate due to operational necessity. The Employer will meet and confer with the Union prior to implementing a premium rate. 12. A pilot attending any training required by the Employer or a customer outside his normal work schedule will not be eligible for workover for those days spent in training. 13. For three (3) months after the execution of this agreement, the remedy for inadvertent Employer errors in awarding workover shall be that the affected pilot or pilots shall receive priority consideration without regard to the length of time since his last workover or his bidding seniority for the number of workovers which corresponds to the workover error only where the pilot is qualified and acceptable to the customer, however, Section 6 above shall apply to any offer of workover under this Section. 14. Three (3) months after the execution of this Agreement, the parties will meet to determine if any changes should be made in the terms of this Article. If the parties mutually agree to changes, this Article shall be amended accordingly. In any event after the three month trial period, the additional remedy for Employer errors will be one (1) hour workover paid for each workover day missed due to the error, up to a maximum of four (4) hours workover pay.
