Part 2: Flight Duty Regulations

11. Definitions

11.1 Working time
The term working time is used to evaluate work-related demands for the purpose of calculating the following values:

a. Working time “T” (“AZ-T”) – creditable working time between two periods of stay. 

b. Working time “R” (“AZ-R”) – creditable working time on which the subsequent stay and rest periods are calculated. 

c. Working time “7M” (“AZ-7M”) – maximum permissible working time within seven consecutive calendar days, a calendar month, a calendar quarter or a calendar year.

For the calculation of working time “T”, “R” or “7M”, the official assignments can be counted as working time at different percentages (see point 17).

All flight crew members not covered by points 11.4.1 to 11.4.3.

11.5 Block time
The period between the first movement of the aircraft when leaving its parking position for take-off (block-off) and when it stops at the assigned parking position and all engines or propellers stop (block-on).

11.6 Check-In (C/I)
Check-In is the time at which crew members must report for a flight or positioning.

11.7 Check-Out (C/O)
Check-Out is the time at which the service ends after a flight or after positioning.

11.8 Crew Rest Facilities – Rest Areas on Board
Rest areas on board are areas separated from the cockpit and cabin, suitable for horizontal resting (eg crew bunks) in sufficient number, the location of which must take into account noise levels (eg galleys), air quality (eg smoking areas) and other possible disturbances (eg passenger activities).

11.9 Crew Transport
Crew transport is the transportation of crew members to/from a flight or to/from positionings. Crew transport is part of the transit time.

11.10 Delayed Reporting
A delay in check-in due to flight irregularities or short-term schedule changes only affects the calculation of working hours if the delay in check-in is at least 90 minutes.

If the crew member is notified in good time, ie at least 90 minutes before the originally planned check-in time, or – if this is earlier – outside the home base in the hotel, the delay in the check-in time is permissible.

11.11 Deployment
A deployment is the time between two stays.

11.11.1 MR mission
A medium-range mission (“MR mission”) is a mission in which the boundary of the “MR” operating range is not left.

11.11.2 ER mission
An extended-range mission (“ER mission”) is a mission that exceeds the limits of the “MR” operational range or is carried out entirely outside the “MR” operational range.

11.12 Deployment period
A deployment period is the time between two stays at the home base.

11.12.1 MR Operational Period
A medium-range operational period (“MR Operational Period”) is an operational period during which the MR operational range is not left. 

11.12.2 ER deployment period
An extended range deployment period (“ER deployment period”) is a deployment period in which the boundary of the operational range “MR” is exceeded.

11.12.3 Combined MR/ER deployment periods
Combined MR/ER deployment periods occur when an MR deployment period is followed by an ER deployment period without at least one free day at the home base in between.

11.13 Deployment days
Deployment days are calendar days that include work-related demands on that calendar day that are to be considered working time, periods spent away from the home base and calendar days with on-call duty, even if this is not to be considered working time.

11.13.1 Immediately consecutive days of deployment
Immediately consecutive days of deployment are days of deployment that are not separated by at least one day off at the home base.

11.14 Flight completion time
After the last block-on as an active crew member within a working time “T”, a flight completion time must be allocated. The flight completion time is 30 minutes unless a longer period is specified.

If there is insufficient time for a flight completion time between the last flight as an active crew member within a working time "T" and an immediately following positioning flight with the aircraft (dead heading transport), the 30 minutes after the actual arrival of the positioning flight shall be deemed to be the flight completion time and shall be assessed accordingly as working time.

11.15 Flight sector (“Sector”, “Flight Leg”, “Leg”)
The segment of flight time between block-off and the next block-on after a landing. A return to ramp does not count as a flight sector.

11.16 Flight preparation time
Before the first scheduled departure as an active crew member within a working time "T", a flight preparation time must be allocated. The flight preparation time is generally one hour, unless a longer period is specified, but can be shortened to 45 minutes by the pilot-in-command if operationally necessary.

11.17 Flight time
The flight time is defined as the block time according to the records kept for the aircraft plus the time spent on the flight simulator as a pilot, instructor or examiner. The automated recording of flight times can be regulated by means of a works agreement.

11.18 Day off
A day off is defined as the period from 0:00 to 24:00 (calendar day), which does not include any work-related demands or on-call duty that is to be considered working time (even if it is not to be considered working time). The necessary stay times are counted towards this. Days off are granted at the home base. By agreement with the employee, these can also be granted at the desired home base.

11.18.1 Single Day Off
A “single day off” includes a day off with 2 local nights.

11.18.2 Half day off
A “half day off” is the period from 00:00 to 12:00 or from 12:01 to 24:00 local time, which does not include any work-related demands that can be considered as working time.

11.19 Home base (place of work)
The contractually agreed location where an employee is stationed and where the employer is not generally responsible for his accommodation. The employer is responsible for transport from this place of work during official assignments. 

The catalog of possible home bases is determined by the company. Before a new home base is opened or closed, the works council must be given the opportunity to consult.

11.19.1 Desired home base (desired place of work)
The home base desired by the employee. Regulations regarding the consideration of the desired home base can be made by means of a works agreement.

11.20 Short rotation
A short rotation is an ER deployment period, the first deployment of which begins at the home base and the second deployment of which returns to the home base without any other official commitments in between, and during which crew rest facilities are available on all flights.

11.21 Local time (LT)
The local time of the home base applies. If there is a time zone difference of more than 2 hours between the home base and the place where the working time begins "T" and the absence from the home base exceeds 72 hours (from the scheduled departure time; STD), the official local time of the place where the working time begins "T" applies.

11.22 Night
A night is the period between 22:00 LT and 05:59 LT.

11.22.1 Local night
A local night is the period of 8 hours between 22:00 LT and 08:00 LT.

11.23 Night duty (“night flight rotation”)
Night duty within the meaning of this regulation is defined as working hours,

a. which ends after 02:00 on the calendar day immediately following the start of the working time, or

b. whose start time is between 0:00 and 04:00,

if these working hours do not include a waiting period with the possibility of rest, which includes the period from 02:00 to 04:00

11.24 Operational areas
The operational area “MR” is the area that lies within a great circle distance of 2,200 NM from the home base. The great circle distance is calculated from airport reference point to airport reference point using the reference ellipsoid WGS 84. The operational area “ER” is the area that lies outside the operational area “MR”.

11.25 Ops Phase
The Ops phase for each deployment is the period from the planned check-in to the actual check-out. 

11.26 Positioning
Positioning is the transport of non-active crew members to/from official assignments. Positioning can be:

a. “Dead Heading Transport” by aircraft (“DHC”).

b. Transport by ground means.

11.27 Return-to-Ramp
The unplanned return of an aircraft to a parking position after block-off without having taken off.

11.28 Rest period
The rest period is the time spent staying or waiting with the opportunity to rest, minus the transit times. During the rest period, a horizontal rest opportunity must be guaranteed. Outside the home base, this is the time during which the hotel rooms are available. 

11.29 Transit time
The transit time is part of a stay time. It is the time necessary for crew transport, meals, hotel formalities, etc. It is

a. at the home base VIE (Vienna) 3 hours.

b. at other home bases in Austria and outside the home base 2 hours.  

The standard transit time outside the home base is based on a crew transport of a total duration of 60 minutes for the round trip and 60 minutes for meals, hotel formalities, etc. If the crew transport takes longer, the transit time must be extended accordingly .

If local conditions outside the home base allow a shortening of the transit time, this will be determined by mutual agreement with the works council.

11.30 Transport time
The transport time is the flight or scheduled flight or travel time within the scope of a positioning.

11.31 Turn-around time
The turn-around time is the time between block-on and block-off within a working time "T" as an active crew member, as well as between the end of a positioning and a subsequent flight as an active crew member if the flight preparation time is before the positioning up to a maximum of 90 minutes. If the time between block-on and block-off is more than 90 minutes, the turn-around time is divided into a 30-minute part immediately after the current block-on and a 60-minute part immediately before the planned block-off .

11.32 Waiting period
The waiting period is the time free from work-related demands within a working time “T” which is determined before its start and which:

a. exceeds the turnaround time of a stopover or

b. between the end of a positioning and the start of the flight preparation time of a subsequent flight or

c. between 30 minutes after block-on of a flight and the start of a subsequent positioning.

If the planned stopover time is more than 6 hours, calculated from block-on to block-off or from the end of a positioning and the start of a subsequent flight, a hotel room must be provided. 

Unscheduled waiting times are counted as on-call duty until the time at which further work schedules are determined.

11.32.1 Waiting time with the possibility of rest
Waiting times with the possibility of rest are scheduled waiting times outside the home base, with a minimum duration of 4 hours, during which a hotel room is available.

11.33 Time zone difference
The time zone difference is the difference in hours between the official local time of the home base and the official local time of another location.

11.34 Time zone neutral missions
Missions that either do not include a stay or waiting period with the opportunity to rest outside the home base, or that include a stay or waiting period with the opportunity to rest in the same time zone as the home base.

12th shift schedule

12.1 The length of working hours is generally based on operational requirements.
The company will involve the works council in an advisory capacity in the operational implementation of any legal requirements regarding flight, duty and rest times (FDR, FTL), in particular in the development of a fatigue risk management system.

12.2 The periodic distribution or scheduling of working hours shall be carried out by the employer without taking Sundays, public holidays and night hours into account in accordance with the commissions set out in this collective agreement and shall be communicated to employees by means of a duty roster in accordance with point 12.6.

12.3 Changes to the crew complement during a deployment period
If a different number of cabin crew is required during a deployment due to different numbers of passengers or service levels on individual flight legs, the surplus cabin crew will still be actively deployed. Reductions in the crew complement due to a change in the aircraft type or variant are not affected by this.

12.4 Classification of simulator missions
The combination of simulator and active flight service in one mission is generally not classified.

A combination of simulator and active flight duty within a deployment period is only possible for employees with a home base outside VIE.

12.5 Seasonal rotation advice

12.5.1 Before the start of a flight plan period, at the request of the Works Council, consultations on seasonal rotation planning shall be held within 14 days of notification of this request. 

12.5.2 As part of this consultation, the works council has the right to propose changes to the company's proposal for the crew rotation plan. These proposed changes must be taken into account as far as operational requirements permit. The seasonal crew rotation plans are determined after consultation with the works council.

12.5.3 During the seasonal rotation consultation, the sector flight times of the individual aircraft types for this flight plan period shall be determined by means of a joint calculation.

12.5.4 The results of the seasonal rotation consultation shall be recorded in a protocol.

12.6 Monthly duty rosters and working time records

12.6.1 Monthly duty rosters will be drawn up and must be published no later than the 20th of the previous month. 

12.6.2 Duty rosters and working time records (the official assignments, working and flight times on which the billing is based) can be distributed by the employer not only as a paper printout, but also in electronic format (eg Portable Document File, etc .) or via a computer interface accessible via the Internet. Working time records must be made available by the end of the following month.

12.6.3 The work schedules and working time reports of each employee must be made available to the works council in an electronically editable format (eg portable document file - preferably MS Excel) for the output data listed above. The works council can also make these available in the form of an automatic query.

12.6.4 If the monthly duty rosters are created using automated means (using an EDP system), active members of the works council must be given constant access to the duty roster creation and the associated data (distribution of work, distribution of hours, flight hours, etc.) by providing suitable EDP equipment (hardware and software). Data on duty rosters that have not yet been published are intended for internal use by the works council only.

12.6.5 A works agreement must be concluded on the design of duty rosters, working time reports and their distribution.

12.6.6 Pilots are required by law to keep a flight log. To fulfill this obligation, the employer provides the necessary data in the prescribed form, both electronically and in print.

13. Roster changes

13.1 A duty roster change is a change ordered by the employer to the workloads scheduled in the monthly duty roster (Section 12.6) with regard to timing, duration or activity, regardless of the reasons for such a change.

Unless otherwise specified in this collective agreement, these are only permitted with the consent of the employee.

13.2 Change of official duties or destination

13.2.1 The employer is entitled to change work demands as follows, even without agreement:

a. Conversion of a positioning into an active service and vice versa,

b. Change of destination, except for a flight service requested with the highest number of points,

c. Conversion of a non-night waiting period (with and without the possibility of rest) into active duty,

d. Conversion of a waiting period, possibly also at night (with or without the possibility of rest) into active duty if the planned flight does not take place and the change is announced no later than the beginning of the stay period preceding the deployment,

e. Conversion of a simulator deployment into an active service,

f. Conversion of an active service into a simulator operation without examination character, provided that this is announced at least 24 hours in advance,

G. Conversion of active service into a simulator assignment as a flight instructor,

h. Conversion of an active service into an on-call service, provided that this is regulated in the works agreement on on-call services. 

13.2.2 If the changes mentioned in point 13.2.1 also result in a postponement of the check-in and/or check-out time, point 13.3 also applies.

13.3 Postponement of check-in and/or check-out time
The employer is permitted to postpone an already scheduled shift without agreement under the following conditions and taking point 11.10 into account. The maximum working hours stipulated in the collective agreement (taking point 25 into account) must be observed, unless otherwise specified in detail.

13.3.1 Unless otherwise specified below, the changes listed refer to the check-in and/or check-out times published in the original duty roster. If a shift is exchanged for another shift with the agreement of the employee after publication, the status of the duty roster after the exchange is considered to be the original duty roster. If a shift is scheduled instead of a day off after publication due to other collective agreement rules, the above rule applies accordingly. 

13.3.2 A delayed check-in and/or an early check-out are permitted in any case. 

13.3.3 For ER operations, the check-in time may be brought forward by a maximum of 180 minutes and/or the check-out time may be delayed by a maximum of 180 minutes. The total of these delays may not exceed 360 minutes.

13.3.4 For MR missions, the check-in time may be brought forward by a maximum of 90 minutes and/or the check-out time may be delayed by a maximum of 90 minutes, whereby the total of these delays for one mission may not exceed 120 minutes. 

13.3.5 In addition, for MR operations, the check-in time may be brought forward by a maximum of 180 minutes and/or the check-out time may be delayed by a maximum of 180 minutes once a month. The total of these delays may not exceed 180 minutes.

13.3.6 After the start of the Ops phase, a delay of up to 180 minutes of the check-out currently scheduled before the start of the Ops phase is permitted, provided that this delay only affects the flights scheduled at the start of the Ops phase and occurs for one or more of the following reasons:

a. Delays due to weather and/or air traffic control requirements

b. Delays due to requirements of the airport operator

c. Delays due to technical defects; however, this does not apply if an aircraft without defects that could cause a delay is exchanged for an aircraft with defects that could cause a delay and were already known at the time of the exchange.

This can result in a delay of more than 180 minutes compared to the original duty roster. Any scheduling of flights other than those initially scheduled that is only communicated at the beginning or during the operations phase excludes the application of this provision. 

13.3.7 A delay exceeding 180 minutes is permissible if it occurs after the last departure from the home base and is necessary to enable a return to the home base.

13.3.8 During a deployment period, postponements of check-in and/or check-out outside the home base and outside Austria are permitted, taking into account point 13.3.10. Points 13.3.1 to 13.3.7 apply to the first check-in and the last check-out at the home base as well as to check-in and check-out times in Austria.

13.3.9 If the first flight of a deployment period is not carried out and/or part of a deployment period is canceled due to an absence from duty in accordance with Section 8 AngG or point 47, one or more other missions or deployment periods can be scheduled in place of this deployment period. Point 13.3.8 applies to the check-in and check-out times scheduled during the originally planned deployment period. Points 13.3.1 to 13.3.7 apply to the end of the last mission/last deployment period.

13.3.10 In the case of changes pursuant to points 13.3.8 and 13.3.9, the flight time of the alternative assignments may not exceed the originally scheduled flight time by more than 25%.

13.3.11 A prerequisite for postponements in accordance with 13.3.1 to 13.3.5 and 13.3.9 is timely information, whereby information on the previous day is in any case timely.

13.3.12 In order to stabilize flight operations in the event of mass delays at an airport due to weather, technical events, slots or airport irregularities, the flight operations manager or his deputy is authorized to extend the working hours "T" for all employees for all assignments that begin or end on that calendar day beyond the above limits up to the maximum working hours permitted by law or the Operations Manual. This exception is limited to two calendar days per calendar year, whereby this limit applies to the entire company and not per employee. 

13.4 Different and/or more detailed regulations for changes to the duty roster can be established by means of a works agreement.

13.5 The company will introduce a system for the computer-assisted processing of duty roster changes, in which requests for swaps by crew members and, if applicable, other flight services offered by the company for staffing can be displayed and shift swaps for crew members can be processed with the help of an automated system and approved by the company. [1]

[1] see point 87.1

14. Operationally necessary deviations

If operational requirements make it necessary to deviate from the working time commission set out in the collective agreement, this must be regulated by means of a works agreement. Excepted from this requirement are those cases which are covered by the exceptions (“Commander's Discretion”) under point 25.

15. On-call service

The allocation and implementation of on-call duties must be regulated by means of a works agreement.

16. Maximum number of consecutive days of operation

16.1 The maximum number of consecutive planned deployment days is:

deployment period deployment days
MR deployment periods 6
Combined MR/ER deployment periods 6
ER deployment periods 14
by means of a works agreement >14

16.2 During periods of deployment lasting longer than 6 days, non-working calendar days (based on the respective official local time of the location) outside the home base must be planned as follows:

deployment period (days) non-working calendar days
7 1
8 - 9 2
10 - 11 3
12 - 13 4
14 5

17. Eligible working time  [2]

[2]  see point 87.2

17.1 The stated work-related demands will be counted as working time at the stated percentages:

work-related demands AZ-T AZ-R AZ-7M
a. flight preparation time 100 100 100
b. Flight time 100 100 100
c. Rest periods on board during operations with increased crew 100 100 100
d. turnaround times 100 100 100
e. flight completion time 100 100 100
f. Waiting time until the last landing as an active crew member / until the end of the simulator  100 100 100
G. Waiting time with the possibility of rest (see point 17.4) 50 50 100
h. Waiting time after the last landing as an active crew member / after the end of the simulator 50 50 100
i. Positioning before the first flight segment or between two flight segments as an active crew member within a mission 100 100 100
j. Positioning after the last flight segment (after the last landing) as an active crew member within a mission 50 50 100
k. Positioning between two stay times 50 50 100
l. On call service at the airport 100 100 100
m. on-call service at home 0 50 50
n. On-call duty outside the home base in the crew hotel 0 50 100
o. Any other activity entered in the monthly duty roster or otherwise expressly ordered by the company (eg activities that count as fictitious flight time according to point 20.3, excluding positioning) 100 100 100

17.2 Night-time overvaluation
With the exception of on-call duty at home, the qualifying working hours “R” and “7M” are overvalued by a factor of 1.5 if they fall during the night.

17.3 Calculation of working time “R” for deployments as part of on-call duty
In the case of a stay outside the home base (after a flight from on-call duty), this is only to be measured using the AZ “R” resulting from the previous flight. In such a case, the entitlement to stay time resulting from the AZ “R” of the on-call duty is added to the next minimum stay time at the home base.

17.4 Waiting time with rest opportunity

17.4.1 By collective agreement, rooms on the airport premises comparable to a hotel room may be made available instead of a hotel room during a waiting period with the possibility of rest.

17.4.2 If, during a waiting period with the possibility of rest, transport to or stay in a hotel or similar premises is not possible for safety reasons (danger to the life and limb of the crew members), eg due to acts of war or terrorist activity, the waiting time relating to working time "T" can only be valued at 50% to the extent that it is necessary for the feasibility of the planned rotation.

17.4.3 For operations that include a waiting period with the possibility of rest, the time between the stay before and after the operation may not exceed 20 hours.

17.5 Vacation and absence from work

17.5.1 For vacation and absences from work announced in advance (before duty roster is issued) in accordance with Section 8 AngG or Item 47, 5:42 hours (5.7) of working time “7M” shall be credited per day.

17.5.2 For absences from work not notified in advance in accordance with Section 8 AngG or Item 47, the working hours “7M” according to the duty roster that the employee would have had to work if he had not been prevented from working shall be taken into account in accordance with the absence principle.

17.5.3 If an absence from work affects only part of a deployment period and the absence from work means that the remainder of the deployment period cannot be completed as planned, the higher value of the working time actually performed and the working time originally planned during the period of the deployment periods actually completed shall be taken into account for one or more deployment periods beginning during the originally planned deployment period. 

17.5.4 For works council exemptions (including supervisory board meetings) – regardless of whether they are announced in advance or retrospectively and whether they are for a working day or a day off – a flat rate of 8:10 hours (8.16) of working time “7M” is credited per calendar day. The absence principle does not apply.

17.6 Facilitating positioning to an outstation in Austria (including ACH/FDH)

Positioning within Austria,

a. which are not followed by a flight as an active crew member within the deployment period, 
b. from an Austrian airport (including ACH/FDH),
c. to the home base or desired home base (including ACH/FDH, excluding VIE),
d. by plane,
e. with a maximum duration of 3 hours from the start to the end of the positioning

are not counted towards working time “T”.

18. Maximum working time "T"

18.1 The maximum permissible continuous working time 'T' between two periods of stay shall be as specified in Working Time Table 1.

18.2 The application of a different working time table after publication of the duty roster is possible within the framework of the regulations on duty roster changes. If the assignment resulting from the change is a night shift with no waiting time and the possibility of rest, the application of a different working time table is only possible up to the beginning of the stay period preceding the night shift at the latest. The respective conditions set for the application of a working time table must be observed.

18.3 The “start of working time” for the purpose of determining the maximum permissible working hours according to working time tables 1, 2 and 3 is the first work-related demand which is to be counted as working time “T” at more than 0 % (see point 17.1).

* Only permitted for cockpit personnel on training and check flights

18.5.2 Special provision "C" - Increased working time during positioning 
In the case of positioning that ends at the home base after the last landing as an active crew member within a mission, the maximum permissible working time "T" according to time table 1 can be increased by the time of this positioning, but not more than 16 hours, which are credited using the up- and down-rating factors. The time between the stay before and after the mission must not exceed 20 hours.

18.5.3 Special provision “D” – Extended working hours due to rest facilities on board [4]

[4]  see point 87.4 

18.5.3.1 Partially reinforced cockpit crew
If a partially reinforced cockpit crew is used, the maximum permissible working time "T" is based on the values ​​of the working time table 3, column 2.
A partially reinforced cockpit crew on an aircraft type with a 2-man cockpit consists of at least one captain, one first officer and one relief pilot (REL-P).

18.5.3.2 Fully reinforced cockpit crew
If a fully reinforced cockpit crew is used, the values ​​of time table 3, column 2 may be extended to the values ​​of time table 3, column 3.

A fully reinforced cockpit crew on an aircraft type with a two-man cockpit consists of at least two captains and two first officers.

18.5.3.3 Cabin crew
The extent of the cabin crew shall be regulated in a works agreement.

18.5.3.4 Timesheet 3

Start of working hours (in LT) Partially reinforced cockpit crew Fully reinforced cockpit crew
06:00 – 13:59 15:30 5:00 PM

00:00 – 05:59 14:30 16:00

18.5.3.5 Paragraph 18.5.3 shall apply regardless of working time if the total great circle distance of all flight sectors as an active crew member within one operation exceeds 4,199 NM.

18.5.3.6 If, within a period of operation, a flight segment from a departure airport to a destination airport is carried out in accordance with point 18.5.3, then, regardless of the sequence of the flights, the actively operated flight segment from the destination airport to the departure airport must also be carried out in accordance with point 18.5.3, even if this would not be necessary due to working time.

This does not apply if one of the two airports is served no more than twice a week.

18.5.3.7 Number of landings
Such missions may only be carried out as missions with one flight leg or one landing, unless the exceptions ("Commander's Discretion") under point 25 apply. The carrying out of missions with 2 flight legs or 2 landings is regulated within the framework of a works agreement.

18.5.3.8 Uninterrupted rest period
Crew rest facilities must be provided on board.

During such a deployment, each crew member is entitled to at least one uninterrupted rest period during the cruise flight. The cruise flight begins no earlier than 30 minutes after take-off and ends no later than 30 minutes before landing. The time available for rest periods for the cockpit and cabin crews is to be equally divided between the members of the cockpit and cabin crews. A different distribution for the cockpit crew is permitted if it is necessary due to legal regulations. During these rest periods, the crew member is free from any work-related demands and is entitled to use the rest areas.

The duration and location of rest periods for the cabin crew must be regulated by means of a works agreement.

18.5.3.9 Period of stay before deployment under special provision “D”

18.5.3.9.1 Before such a deployment (including any standby duty at home immediately preceding the flight), a stay of at least 24 hours, including one night in the local area, must be granted. [5]

[5]  see point 87.4

18.5.3.9.2 Outside the home base, this 24-hour stay may be reduced to 23 hours including one local night.

18.5.3.9.3 Outside the home base, a further reduction to 16 hours including a local night is permissible if no official obligation takes place in the 23h period before the start of duty, except for positioning with a maximum of 2h transport time, or when using ground transport, within a radius of 200km around the home base - measured to the nearest departure airport. 

18.5.3.9.4 In the case of a short circuit, a stay outside the home base in accordance with point 22.1.6 is sufficient.

19 Maximum working time "7M"

19.1 The maximum working time permitted in the monthly duty roster (Section 12.6) “7M” within seven consecutive calendar days is 55 hours. 

19.2 After the duty roster has been issued, this value may be exceeded by a maximum of three hours due to extensions of the working time “7M” resulting from points 13.3.6 and/or 13.3.7 during the Ops phase.

19.3 The “7M” working hours should normally be planned so that the monthly average does not exceed 40 hours per week. The maximum permissible “7M” working hours are 220 hours per month, 580 hours per quarter and 2200 hours per calendar year. 

20th flight time

20.1 At the request of the employer, employees are obliged to perform the following flight hours:

  Month quarter calendar year
Q1 + Q4 90 240 900
Q2 + Q3 100 255

20.2 At the request of the employer, employees are obliged to perform the following total flight hours (flight hours plus fictitious flight hours) in compliance with the maximum flight hours according to point 20.1:

  Month quarter calendar year
Q1 + Q4 90 255 1000
Q2 + Q3 100 280

20.2.1 The following values ​​apply to long-range crew members:

  Month quarter calendar year
Q1 + Q4 90 255 1027*)
Q2 + Q3 100 290*

*)  The increased limits compared to point 20.2 only apply if a crew member is a long-haul crew member for the entire period. If a crew member is not exclusively a long-haul crew member during the respective period, the annual limit is reduced by 2:15 hours (2.25h) for each month of the respective period in which the crew member is not a long-haul crew member.

20.3 Fictional flight time [6]

[6]  see point 87.6 

20.3.1 Fictitious flight hours shall be credited for the following activities:

a. Training/instruction/training as trainer and trainee (but not simulator), computer-based training,
b. office days for trusted pilots and trusted cabin crew,
c. pilots meeting, cabin crew meeting,
d. on-call duty at the airport,
e. fitness examinations,
f. ordered meetings,
g. positioning (exceptions see point 20.3.8),
h. works council exemptions (see point 20.3.4).

20.3.2 To determine the fictitious flight time, the working hours “7M” allocated to the activities listed are multiplied by a factor of 0.5 and rounded down to the nearest whole minute.

20.3.3 The employer may exclude up to three hours of “7M” working time per calendar year from the calculation of the hours worked under points 20.3.1 lit c and f as well as computer-based training under lit a by marking/remarking in the duty roster. 

20.3.4 To determine the fictitious flight time for works council leave (including for supervisory board meetings), the flat-rate working time “7M” calculated in accordance with point 17.5.4 is multiplied by a factor of 0.5 and rounded down to whole minutes. The absence principle does not apply.

20.3.5 For vacation and absences from duty announced in advance (before the duty roster is issued) in accordance with Section 8 AngG or Item 47, 2:28 hours (2.47) of fictitious flight time per day shall be credited.

20.3.6 For absences from work not announced in advance in accordance with Section 8 AngG or Item 47, the flight times entered in the duty roster shall be counted as fictitious flight times in accordance with the absence principle, which the employee would have had to work if he had not been prevented from working.

20.3.7 If an absence from duty pursuant to Section 8 AngG or Item 47, which was not announced in advance, affects only part of a deployment period and the absence from duty means that the remainder of the deployment period cannot be completed as planned, then the higher value of the flight time actually completed and the flight time originally planned during the period of the deployment periods actually completed shall be credited for one or more deployment periods beginning during the originally planned deployment period. 

20.3.8 Exceptions for positioning

20.3.8.1 Positions with a transport time of up to 2 hours shall not be counted as fictitious flight time if they are booked with the option of upgrading to Business Class on a Space Available basis.

20.3.8.2 Positions with a transport time of more than 2 hours shall be counted as fictitious flight time with a factor of 0.4 if flown in Premium Economy Class.

20.3.8.3 Positions with a transport time of more than 2 hours shall only be counted as fictitious flight time with a factor of 0.25 if they are flown in Business Class.

20.3.8.4 If a flight booked in Premium Economy is actually taken in Economy Class or a flight booked in Business Class is actually taken in Premium Economy or Economy Class, the credit factor will only be corrected after notification by the employee concerned.

21st day off

21.1 The employee is entitled to schedule days off at the home base to the following extent: [7]

[7]  see point 87.7

  a month per quarter in the calendar year
January 11 33 130
February (28 days) 10
February (29 days) 11
March 11
April to September 10 30
October to December 12 36

21.2 Additional days off for certain MR assignments

21.2.1 “Extended working hours” (special provision “A”) or “Increased working hours for positioning” (special provision “C”) should in all cases only be planned for three assignments per employee per month.

21.2.2 For each additional such assignment (planned or assigned at short notice), an additional day off must be allocated, which must be separately marked in the duty roster. This day off must not coincide with a day off as per point 21.3.

21.2.3 This day off must generally be scheduled immediately after the assignment. In the case of assignments scheduled at short notice, this day off can be scheduled no later than the end of the following month. 

21.2.4 If the deployment takes place across months, the deployment shall count towards the month in which it ends.

21.3 Allocation of days off  [8]

[8]  see point 87.8

21.3.1 Social factor days (“SOZ days”)
Immediately following periods of deployment of more than three days, the employee is entitled to at least consecutive days off (“SOZ days”) in accordance with the following table:

deployment days of the deployment period SOZ days
4 1
5 2
6 2
7 2.5
8 3
9 3.5
10 4
11 4.5
12 5
13 5.5
14 6

21.3.2 Days off to be stored (“ZLF days”)
In direct connection with ER deployment periods, the employee is entitled to at least ZLF days for regeneration and to compensate for the time difference. 

The extent depends on the length of the deployment period and the maximum time zone difference during the deployment period.

The days marked with "N" in the table ("N" days) are to be allocated immediately after the deployment period. The days marked with "V" ("V" days) are to be allocated immediately before and/or in addition to the days marked with "N" after a deployment period. ZLF days allocated in this way must not overlap/coincide with ZLF days of a preceding or subsequent ER deployment period.

21.3.2.1 Cabin crew:

  Length of the deployment period in calendar days
Maximum time zone difference 3 4 5*)
up to 6 hours 1V / 3N 1V / 2N 1V / 2N
more than 6 hours 2V / 3N 1V / 3N 1V / 2N

*) For longer periods of deployment, there is only an entitlement to social security days in accordance with point 21.3.1; longer periods of stay may result due to the OM-A.

21.3.2.2 Cockpit personnel:

  Length of the deployment period in calendar days
Maximum time zone difference 3 4 5*)
up to 6 hours 1V / 2N 1V / 2N 1V / 2N
more than 6 hours 2V / 2N 2V / 2N 1V / 2N

*) For longer periods of deployment, there is only an entitlement to social security days in accordance with point 21.3.1; longer periods of stay may result due to the OM-A.

21.3.2.3 Crediting of on-call duties
Calendar days with non-activated on-call duties can be credited towards the required number of "V" days, but they do not form part of the entitlement to days off as per point 21.1. Immediately before an ER deployment period, on-call duties can therefore be stored, provided that the total entitlement to ZLF days is met by applying this rule.

21.3.2.4 Relationship to SOZ days
ZLF days can coincide with SOZ days.

21.3.2.5 Crediting of vacation days and absences from work announced in advance
Vacation days and absences from work announced in advance can be credited towards the required number of ZLF days that must be completed immediately following an ER deployment period, but not towards SOZ days. However, days credited in this way do not form part of the entitlement to days off in accordance with point 21.1.

21.3.3 These days off (points 21.3.1 and 21.3.2) are part of the entitlement under point 21.1.

21.3.4 However, these days off (points 21.3.1 and 21.3.2) may not be additional days off for specific MR assignments of other rotations in accordance with point 21.2.

21.3.5 East-West/West-East rotation combination [9] 
If the time zone difference between the last stay of the previous and the first stay of the next deployment period within 14 days in the other direction is more than 8 hours, this subsequent deployment period is only possible after four consecutive free nights have elapsed. Time zone-neutral deployments are, however, permitted after the ZLF days of the previous rotation have elapsed.

When activated from on-call duty, the length of stay before and/or after the period of deployment activated from on-call duty may be reduced to three nights. Four reductions are permitted per calendar year.

[9]  see point 87.9

21.4 Change of days off

21.4.1 Days off scheduled in the duty roster may only be changed with the agreement of the employee or within the framework of the rules on duty roster changes.

21.4.2 If a flight irregularity or a change in the duty roster affects an originally scheduled day off and the following stay begins after 2:00 hours LT, this day off must be granted until the end of the following month and must be marked separately .

21.4.3 If an original day off is canceled due to a works council exemption, this day off must be granted until the end of the following month and must be marked separately.

21.5 Date-based entitlement to days off

The employee can set the dates for 5 days off (“DBF days”) per calendar month in advance. A company agreement must be concluded regarding the details.

21.6 Proration of the claim

21.6.1 The entitlement to calendar days off pursuant to clause 21.1 is reduced per calendar day of vacation as follows:


Reduction per vacation day =

7 – 5 x  performance obligation
7

21.6.2 The entitlement to calendar days off pursuant to point 21.1 is reduced for each calendar day of absence from work notified in advance (Section 8 AngG, point 47, but excluding point 47.4) as follows:


Reduction per day of service =
365 – 235 x performance obligation
365

21.6.2.1 If such an absence from work affects so many days in a month or quarter that even if days off are allocated on the days not affected by the absence from work, the minimum number pursuant to point 21.1 cannot be achieved, then the entitlement shall be further reduced by the number of days that can no longer be allocated.

21.6.3 The calculation is made for the period for which the entitlement to days off is to be calculated (month/quarter/year). The result is to be rounded to the next lowest whole number after adding the reductions for vacation and absence from work. Values ​​that have already been rounded for a month or quarter may not be added for a longer entitlement period.

(Example for full-time work: To calculate the monthly entitlement, all vacation days in the month must be added together and then multiplied by 2/7. Then all days of absence from work in the month must be added together and multiplied by 130 /365. The sum of the two products must be rounded to the next lowest whole number.)

21.7 By agreement between the employer and the employee, the number of days off may be reduced in favor of a voluntary professional association to which the employee belongs.

22. Residence and rest time

22.1 Depending on the working hours “R”, the employee is entitled to the following periods of stay:

working time "R" stay time Homebase VIE time spent at the outstation time spent outside the home base
< 08:00 12 hours 12 hours 10h*)
08:01 – 10:00 h 12 hours 12 hours 11am
10:01 – 11:00 h 13 h 12 hours 12h
11:01 – 12:00 h 14 h 13 h 13h
12:01 – 13:00 h 15 h 14 h 14h
13:01 – 14:00 h 4 pm 15 h 3pm
> 14:01 24 hours 20 h 8pm

*) If the time actually required for crew transport (point 11.9) is more than 60 minutes for the outward and return journey and the transit time is thus extended (point 11.29), the stay time must be extended so that, after deducting the extended transit time, a rest period of at least 8 hours results.

22.1.1 Unless otherwise agreed between the employer and the works council, the last line of the table of stay times outside the home base may only be applied to one stay time within a deployment period. In the absence of such an agreement with the works council, the last line of the Homebase VIE rest time table is to be used for each additional stay time within the same deployment period, provided that this stay time is preceded by a calculated working time of more than 14 hours.

22.1.2 If there is a shift in local time during a deployment period as per point 11.21, the stay immediately after the deployment period shall be extended so that it includes two free nights.

22.1.3 If the previous working time "T" includes a total of at least 10 hours of scheduled flight time (block time) as an active crew member, the time spent outside the home base must be at least 20 hours and at least one day off at the home base. This day off at the home base must be counted towards the monthly and annual days off to be granted.

22.1.4 The stay after an ER deployment must include at least one night in the local area.

22.1.5 If the mission following a mission in accordance with special provision “D” (Section 18.5.3) does not lead back to the home base, the stay time must be at least 36 hours.

22.1.6 Notwithstanding points 22.1.1 to 22.1.5, the time spent outside the home base may be reduced to 14 hours in the case of a short rotation (point 11.20) if a rest period of 12 hours is ensured and this includes at at least four continuous hours in the period from 0:00 to 6:00 LT. 

22.1.6.1 By derogation from point 22.1.6, the requirement of four continuous hours of rest between 0:00 and 6:00 LT for cockpit crew in Beijing (PEK) may be reduced to three continuous hours.

22.2 Stay time before ER deployment periods

22.2.1 Immediately before an ER deployment period, the following stay times must be stored based on the working time “R” of the previous working period:

Working time “R” of the previous assignment length of stay
00:00 – 08:00 14 h
08:01 – 10:00 4 pm
10:01 – 15:00 20 h
15:01 – 32 hours

22.2.2 If the preceding operation is a night operation, its AZ “R” shall be increased by 8 hours.

22.2.3 Between two night shifts in combination with MR and ER operations, at least one day off must be provided.

22.2.4 In the event of flight irregularities occurring after check-in during the previous working hour, the following values ​​shall apply:

Working time “R” of the previous assignment length of stay
00:00 – 09:00 13 h
09:01 – 11:00 15 h
11:01 – 16:00 7 pm
16:01 – 31 hours

22.3 Weekly stay

A weekly stay of 36 hours must be planned. This must include two local nights. There must not be more than 168 hours between the end of one weekly stay and the start of the next.

22.4 Consecutive monthly periods of stay (“groups”)

22.4.1 In each month there must be four periods of stay of 62 hours each. 

22.4.2 Groups spanning several months shall be assigned by marking to a month in which at least 31:01 hours of the stay fall. 

22.4.3 These groups may be split only in connection with vacation or absences from work announced in advance. Either by

a. immediately before the holiday or the previously announced absence from work, at least 48 hours and
b. immediately after the holiday, the difference is 62 hours

or by

a. immediately after the holiday or the previously announced absence from work for at least 48 hours and

b. immediately before the holiday the difference is 62 hours.

A group is considered to be fulfilled for the month in which the 48-hour part occurs.

22.4.4 The entitlement to groups is reduced by one group for every six calendar days of holiday or absence from work notified in advance (Section 8 AngG, Item 47) in a month. 

22.4.5 In the event of flight irregularities occurring during the operations phase, a group following the affected operation may be reduced by up to one hour.

22.4.6 Two groups must be combined at least once in each quarter. In the first and fourth quarters, the length of stay resulting from this combination must be at least 134 hours. In the case of storage across quarters, point 22.4.2 must be taken into account.

22.4.7 Immediately before a deployment period of more than 6 days, a group must be stored.

22.4.8 The number of consecutive days off immediately following periods of deployment (points 21.3.1 and 21.3.2) must be met.

22.4.9 Without prejudice to points 22.4.1 to 22.4.6 above, three of the groups referred to in point 22.4.1 shall be deemed to be granted with a continuous stay of 158 hours.

22.4.9.1 For stays of at least 158 ​​hours across months, these groups can be assigned to a month by marking them as follows.

22.4.9.2 If at least 31:01 hours fall in a month, a group can be assigned to that month.

22.4.9.3 If at least 79:01 hours fall in a month, two groups can be assigned to that month.

22.4.9.4 If at least 105:21 hours fall in a month, three groups can be assigned to that month.

22.4.10 The marking according to point 22.4.2 or 22.4.9.1 ff. may also be made or changed after the plan has been issued, as long as at least four groups result in each month (eg if a planned group is canceled due to delays).

22.5 Stay times after works council exemptions

If, in accordance with point 21.4.3, an originally free day is canceled due to a works council exemption, the necessary time off after this works council exemption is determined exclusively in accordance with OM-A.

23. Tourist destinations

23.1 Tourist destinations within the meaning of this provision are destinations in the “ER” operating area with a predominantly tourist character that are served by the company no more than twice a week. The determination of which destinations are considered tourist destinations must be made by means of a works agreement.

23.2 In view of the resulting longer periods of stay, deviations from the collective agreement provisions on working hours and rest periods may be agreed for tourist destinations by means of a works agreement.

24. Positionings

24.1 Positioning begins at the time of the ordered check-in (“show-up”) and ends at

b. Ground transportation at the actual time of arrival at the destination, or 
c. at the time of specified check-out, whichever is later.

24.2 A positioning period between two stay periods may not last longer than 16 hours, regardless of whether it is classified as working time “T”.

24.3 Regardless of whether it is classified as working time “T”, a positioning session may last longer than 16 hours if it is carried out in Business Class. 

24.4 For increased working time during positioning, see point 18.5.2 (Special Provision “C”).

24.5 For all positioning beyond this, agreement must be reached with the employee in each individual case, in compliance with the other provisions of this collective agreement.

25. Exceptions (Commander's Discretion)

25.1 In the event of flight irregularities, the duration of the stay may be reduced by the pilot in command if the official minimum rest period outside the home base is observed. 

25.2 If the execution of a flight requires an exceedance of the maximum permissible working hours, number of landings or flight time or a shortfall in the minimum rest period due to unforeseeable events, the pilot in command shall decide on such an exceedance or shortfall after consultation the assigned crew members and weighing up all circumstances at his or her own discretion and in compliance with the official regulations. This also applies mutatis mutandis to a reduction in working hours if this is necessary to avoid overtiredness of the crew.

57. Calculation basis of the flight allowance

57.1 The calculation basis for the Sunday and public holiday allowance, the night allowance and the danger allowance is as follows:

In view of the radiation exposure associated with flight duty, a flat-rate danger allowance of 8% of the basic salary is paid. Beyond this, there is no compensation for any other claims for benefits due to dirt or hardship.

The night or Sunday and public holiday allowance is based on an average of 166 hours of work per month, of which an average of 16.6 hours is night work (point 11.22) and 16.6 hours is Sunday and public holidays. The night allowance is calculated from the 16.6 hours for night work plus a 50% surcharge. The Sunday and public holiday allowance is calculated from the 16.6 hours for Sunday and public holiday work plus a 100% surcharge.

57.2 Since the flight allowance is paid in the form of a lump sum, it covers all bonuses for Sunday, public holiday and night work performed by the employee during the month. This does not affect compensation for additional work and overtime (points 42 and 43) or night-time bonuses (point 17.2).

57.3 If the employee performs more hours of Sunday, public holiday or night work in a month than the number of hours taken into account in the calculation, there is no entitlement to an increase in the flat rate. Conversely, however, a reduction in performance does not lead to a reduction in salary.

57.4 According to current legal situation and administrative practice, the danger allowance, as well as the Sunday and public holiday allowance and the night allowance are, under certain conditions, tax-free up to a maximum total of €360.00 (or in individual cases € 540.00) per month. The tax exemption for the Sunday and public holiday allowance and the night allowance is checked on the basis of the specific time records in the following month and offset if necessary.

Part 5: Seniority Regulation and Career Model for Pilots (SRKM-P)

61. Preamble

The transfer of the previously independent flight operations of Austrian Airlines AG to Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Flugzeug GmbH took place on July 1, 2012. The previously independent flight operations of Austrian Airlines (OS with the aircraft types B777, B767, B737 (series), A320 (series)) and Tyrolean Airways (VO with the aircraft types DH8-400, F70, F100) formed a new joint flight operation as of July 1, 2012, which now consists of "Mainline" and "Regional".

62. Scope and definitions

62.1 The SRKM-P is to be applied to all persons who are employed as pilots in the company. Within its scope of application, the seniority principle aims to rank pilots according to their area of ​​employment, length of service and professional experience in the company in accordance with the following rules. The basis for ranking according to the seniority principle is the pilots' seniority date.

62.2 Definitions

Regional aircraft:
Aircraft with up to 80 seats and their derivatives with more than 80 seats up to a maximum of 110 seats that may be flown with the same type rating or within the framework of CCQ with a regional aircraft with up to 80 seats if mixed use is permitted according to the Operations Manual (OM). The number of seats is the maximum permitted number of seats with a 31 inch seat pitch and all passenger configuration. Eg DH8 (series), CRJ (series), F70, F100, ATR42 (series), ATR72 (series).

Mainline aircraft:

62.3 Seniority ranks 

62.3.1 For the “Mainline” area of ​​use

M1: Mainline F/O on all mainline aircraft of short and medium-haul or narrowbody types, eg A320 (series), B737 (series), MD80 (series), CS100, CS300, E195.

M2: Mainline F/O on all mainline aircraft of the long-haul or widebody types, eg A330 (series), A340 (series), A350 (series), B747 (series), B757 (series), B767 (series), B777 (series), B787 (series).

M3: Mainline PIC on all mainline aircraft of short and medium-haul or narrowbody types, eg A320 (series), B737 (series), MD80 (series), CS100, CS300, E195.

M4: Mainline PIC on all mainline aircraft of the long-haul or widebody types, e.g. A330 (series), A340 (series), A350 (series), B747 (series), B757 (series), B767 (series), B777 (series), B787 (series).

62.3.2 For the use area “Regional”

R1: Regional F/O on all regional aircraft with propeller or turbopropeller drive, e.g. DH8 (series).

R2: Regional F/O on all regional aircraft with jet engines, e.g. CRJ (series), F70, F100.

R3: Regional PIC on all regional aircraft with propeller or turbopropeller propulsion, e.g. DH8 (series).

R4: Regional PIC on all regional jet aircraft, e.g. CRJ (series), F70, F100.

62.3.3 Aircraft types not mentioned shall be assigned a seniority rank by mutual agreement with the on-board works council.

62.4 This SRKM-P regulates exclusively the following application cases:

62.4.1 For the “Mainline” area of ​​use
a.
Upgrading to Mainline PIC, Downgrading to Mainline F/O,

b. Appointment as relief pilot and withdrawal of this authorization,

c. Retraining to another seniority rank or assignment to individual aircraft types,

d. Transfer abroad,

e. Objective dismissal and re-employment for operational reasons,

f. (Partial) transfer of business and (partial) closure of business.

62.4.2 For the use area “Regional”
a.
Upgrading to Regional-PIC, Downgrading to Regional-F/O,

b. Retraining to another seniority rank or assignment to individual aircraft types,

c. Transfer abroad,

d. Objective dismissal and re-employment for operational reasons,

e. (Partial) transfer of business and (partial) closure of business.

62.4.3 Special arrangements for filling mainline PIC positions on Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft.

62.4.4 Other cases of application, e.g. in connection with the allocation of vacation days, storage of days off, flight requests, etc., can be regulated by works agreement.

62.5 The seniority principle shall only apply if the pilot has the necessary qualifications for the task at hand.

Proof of qualification is provided in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Operations Manual (OM-D). If this includes a qualification assessment before the start of training (assessment), then if the assessment is negative, there is no entitlement to the seniority principle being applied to the task. The company ensures that any necessary qualification assessment is scheduled in such a timely manner that a promotion is possible, taking into account point 65.8.

62.6 If a pilot does not exercise a right to which he is entitled under the SRKM-P (e.g. does not apply for a tender under the SRKM-P) or waives the exercise of this right, he will not be compensated for any disadvantage that may arise as a result.

62.7 If a pilot from seniority ranks M4, M3, R4 or R3 voluntarily applies for a seniority rank of M2, M1, R2 or R1, he shall only be considered if he agrees to a reduction in salary. This does not apply to cases where retraining to seniority rank M2, M1, R2 or R1 would have taken place even without the specific pilot's voluntary application (e.g. on the basis of points 65.9.4, 65.10.4, Additional Protocol 2).

62.8 If a pilot who has been involuntarily reclassified to a job category with a lower gross monthly salary in accordance with SRKM-P does not apply for all of the advertisements for captain positions at rank M3, the demotion shall be deemed to be voluntary from the end of the earliest advertisement period in which he could have applied but did not apply for the captain position. The same applies if this pilot withdraws his application or refuses a retraining course assigned on the basis of this application.

62.9 Retraining pursuant to points 65.9.4.6 and 65.10.4.5 shall be considered involuntary.

62.10 If a pilot with a higher seniority number (worse seniority) is granted a right which would be granted to a pilot with a lower seniority number (better seniority) under this SRKM-P (“overtaking”), this right shall be granted equally to all pilots overtaken in the process.

62.11 Advertisements and their duration must be designed in such a way that potential applicants have the opportunity to express their views and apply during the advertisement period. This is to be considered to be the case if the application period lasted at least four weeks and was published in accordance with company practice.

62.12 It is evident that, particularly when combining the de- and in-service operations of different aircraft types, serial processing of the relevant regulations in a scenario may result in a series of retraining sessions per person. In such cases, not all individual steps need to be carried out in reality, but the end result must be implemented.

62.13 The consideration of the place of work and/or desired place of work in the case of transfers pursuant to the SRKM-P can be regulated by works agreement.

63rd seniority date

63.1 Each pilot shall be assigned a seniority date which shall be decisive for his classification under the SRKM-P.

63.2 Pilots shall be assigned seniority date as the date of commencement of the theoretical type rating course, provided that the course is successfully completed in accordance with the training program.

63.3 For pilots who already hold a valid type rating for the airline aircraft on which they are to be deployed, the seniority date shall be the start of the Operator Conversion Course.

63.4 If participants in a training course (ab initio pilot course, pilots with partial prior knowledge who enter an ongoing ab initio pilot course at the latest with the type rating, ready-entry conversion courses) are trained on different aircraft types or if the course is split over time, the date of the type rating or operator conversion course which begins earlier shall be decisive for the entire training course.

63.5 In the case of parental leave (including leave without pay) lasting more than four months, a new seniority date is determined when the employee returns to work. The number of days of absence over four months is added to the original date. To calculate the length of the parental leave, all parental leave within a rolling period of 12 months is added together.

63.6 However, leave of absence within the statutory scope under the Maternity Protection Act or the Paternity Leave Act, family hospice leave, care leave and part-time work remain irrelevant and therefore have no influence on the seniority date.

63.7 OS pilots retain their seniority data from their employment with Austrian Airlines as of June 30, 2012. 

63.8 VO pilots retain their seniority data from their employment with Tyrolean Airways as of 30 June 2012. 

63.9 For NEW pilots, the seniority date shall be determined in accordance with the rules set out above.

63.10 In the event of termination of the employment relationship as a result of notice of termination or resignation by the employee, in the event of termination of the employment relationship by mutual consent (except within the scope of point 86.5), as well as in the event of legally effective termination of the employment relationship as a result of notice of termination or dismissal by the employer, which are not objectively due to operational reasons, the seniority date shall expire.

63.11 All matters relating to seniority shall be discussed with the Board Works Council. The agreements shall be recorded in the minutes.

63.12 Any change in the seniority date shall be communicated to the pilot concerned immediately in writing.

63.13 If a seniority date cannot be assigned with certainty in accordance with the provisions of this SRKM-P, the seniority date shall be assigned or changed by mutual agreement between the flight operations manager and the on-board works council.

64. Seniority lists

64.1 Two seniority lists are kept. Seniority list "M" is for the "Mainline" area of ​​​​use, and seniority list "R" is for the "Regional" area of ​​​​use. The seniority lists are kept by the flight operations manager in agreement with the on-board works council. They must contain at least:

a. Sequential numbering of entries (“seniority number”),
b. Seniority date,
c. Function,
i.e. Surname and first name,
e. Aircraft type(s) on which the pilot is currently deployed,
f. Seniority rank,
g. Date of birth,
h. Personnel number,
i. Place of duty.

64.1.1 Seniority list “M”
Pilots are ranked in the seniority list “M” by first ranking OS pilots in ascending order of their seniority data. Then, at the end, VO pilots are ranked in ascending order of their seniority data. Finally, all NEW pilots are ranked in ascending order of their seniority data.

64.1.2 Seniority list “R”
The ranking of pilots in the seniority list “R” is done first by ranking the VO pilots in ascending order of their seniority data. Then the OS pilots are ranked last in ascending order of their seniority data. Finally, all NEW pilots are ranked in ascending order of their seniority data.

64.2 If pilots in a group (OS pilots, VO pilots) have the same seniority data, the ranking within this group will be based on the ranking of their respective seniority list valid on 30 June 2012; for NEW pilots within this group, the ranking will be based on their date of birth, with priority given to the older pilot; if the seniority and date of birth are the same, the ranking will be based on the ascending alphabetical order of the surnames.

64.3 The seniority lists must be made known to all pilots after any significant changes, but at least once a year. Only the data according to points 64.1 a, b, d, f, g and i are published. All changes compared to the previous version (except for the seniority number resulting from the ranking) must be highlighted. 

65. Upgrading to PIC, downgrading to F/O and retraining or assignment to individual aircraft types

65.1 A new seniority rank shall be awarded upon successful completion of the associated training (obtaining the Competence Rating “Restricted”).

65.2 New pilots will be assigned to an aircraft type of seniority R1, R2 or M1 according to economic needs. Different arrangements may be made by works agreement for a maximum period of 18 months.

65.2.1 If there are not enough qualified pilots applying for a position at seniority rank R3 or M2, the following shall apply: 

65.2.1.1 Following a new advertisement indicating the possible need to recruit pilots at seniority level R3 or M2, vacant positions may be filled within 6 months with newly qualified pilots (“Ready Entry Pilots”). 

65.2.1.2 Failure to obtain the required flight experience shall not be deemed to constitute a lack of qualification if, according to the crew planning, this can probably be achieved within 8 months after the end of the tender, taking into account the average flight hours of the last 12 months and planned absences.

65.2.1.3 If pilots newly recruited for a planned assignment at seniority rank R3 ("Direct Entry Captains") are actually promoted to seniority rank R3 after having been temporarily deployed at seniority rank R1 for training purposes for no longer than one year after joining, this promotion does not trigger any claims by third-party pilots. Due to the promotion to seniority rank R3, a reclassification takes place from the "First Officer" job group (point 55.1.1) to the "Regional PIC" job group (point 55.1.3).

65.3 Within a seniority rank, there is no ranking between individual aircraft types. Pilots are allocated to a specific aircraft type within a seniority rank based on economic needs. Where possible, requests should be taken into account in ascending order of the seniority number on the seniority list for the respective area of ​​use. 

65.4 Pilots who have reached the training deadline cannot claim retraining or assignment to other aircraft types - unless this is associated with a higher salary classification (regardless of the change in the actual salary). The deadline for the application of this regulation is the start of the theoretical type rating course for retraining. The training deadline is the earlier of:

  • ASVG standard retirement age (without pension deductions) minus 3 years, or
  • 3 years (1 year for CCQ) before reaching the maximum age for exercising airline pilot activity in accordance with the applicable official regulations.

65.5 Pilots who last underwent retraining at their own request or who joined the company less than three years ago are exempt from the right to retraining or to be assigned to individual aircraft types. In the case of retraining, the start of the retraining course is decisive for the calculation of time. 

65.6 For retraining or assignment to individual aircraft types in the context of upgrades and involuntary downgradings or retraining from R3 or R4 to M3 or M4, point 65.5 does not apply. Such retraining is also not included in the time limit calculation according to point 65.5 for further retraining or assignment to individual aircraft types.

65.7 If the type of aircraft on which the pilot is deployed is no longer part of the company's fleet, the right to retraining will not be lost. The employer's right to retrain pilots after the training deadline or before the three-year period has been reached remains unaffected. In any case, the other rules on retraining must still be observed.

65.8 Postponement of retraining and promotions

65.8.1 If, for operational reasons not related to the pilot himself or because the pilot is on holiday, it is advisable to refrain from promoting him when others are being promoted, even though he should be promoted on the basis of his seniority and qualifications, he will be compensated for the disadvantage resulting from this from the time the preferred pilot(s) are promoted, provided that more than three months have passed between the promotion of the preferred pilot(s) and his promotion. If such a deferral exceeds 12 months, it is only permissible with the written consent of the pilot concerned.

65.8.2 For operational reasons (e.g. to avoid a stay of less than three years in a fleet, a too rapid succession of retraining courses and the associated overloading of flight operations), retraining within a seniority rank, further from seniority rank R2, R3 or R4 to M1 or M2, as well as from seniority rank M1 to M2, even if it should take place on the basis of seniority and qualification, can be postponed up to 24 months after the end of the tender without compensation for the disadvantage if the last retraining took place at the request of the employee. For retraining to M2, this postponement is only possible for the 50 most senior First Officers (seniority rank R1, R2, M1, M2) or the 50 most senior Regional PICs (seniority rank (R3, R4)).

65.8.3 Pilots whose retraining or promotion is deferred shall be informed in writing of the deferral.

65.9 Upgrading to Mainline PIC, downgrading to Mainline F/O and retraining or assignment to individual aircraft types to seniority ranks of the "Mainline" area of ​​use 

65.9.1 If positions are to be filled in a seniority rank in the "Mainline" area of ​​employment, those positions that are to be filled by retraining within this seniority rank must be advertised first. The positions are filled from among the applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers from the "M" seniority list.

67. Transfer abroad

In the case of transfers abroad, the conditions and modalities must be regulated by works agreement.

68. Objective dismissal and re-employment for operational reasons

68.1 Objectively operational dismissals are made – taking social circumstances into account – in ascending order of dismissal numbers, regardless of seniority rank and aircraft type. Pilots dismissed in this way retain their seniority date until they are reinstated, but for a maximum period of five years.

This rule (point 68.1, first sentence) may be deviated from if the pilot refuses a downgrading required under the rules of points 65.9.4 or 65.10.4 or Additional Protocol 2 and an agreement has been reached in advance with the works council.

68.2 Termination sequence or termination number

The termination number is determined by ranking all pilots in descending order of their seniority dates (most recent seniority date first).

If seniority data is the same, the ranking is based on date of birth, with priority given to the younger pilot, whereas if seniority and date of birth are the same, the ranking is based on descending alphabetical order of surnames.

The termination sequence or number and its system are not relevant for other matters of the SRKM-P (except for (partial) plant closures in accordance with point 69).

68.3 Pilots terminated in accordance with paragraph 68.1 shall have the right to be reinstated in the order of seniority dates during the period of validity of their seniority date in the event that pilots are employed (hired, transferred to the company, reassigned), provided that at the time of reinstatement they are in valid possession of the licence (CPL(A), ATPL(A)) required for the previous activity.

69. (Partial) transfer of business, (partial) closure of business

69.1 (Partial) transfers and (partial) closures of operations shall not lead to circumvention of the seniority-based rules of this SRKM-P.

69.2 Even in the case of partial closures of operations, point 68 shall apply if a reduction in personnel is necessary.

69.3 Before partial transfers of operations, every pilot affected shall have the right to be retrained on another aircraft type not affected by a partial transfer of operations if, in the event of a partial closure of operations carried out instead of a partial transfer of operations, he would not be affected by a reduction in personnel within the meaning of point 69.2 in conjunction with point 68.

Part 6: Seniority Regulation and Career Model for Cabin Crew (SRKM-K)

73. Preamble

The transfer of the previously independent flight operations of Austrian Airlines AG to Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Luftfahrt GmbH took place on July 1, 2012. The previously independent flight operations of Austrian Airlines (OS with the aircraft types B777, B767, B737 (series), A320 (series)) and Tyrolean Airways (VO with the aircraft types DH8-400, F70, F100) formed a new joint flight operation as of July 1, 2012, which now consists of "Mainline" and "Regional".

74. Scope and definitions

74.1 The SRKM-K is to be applied to all persons employed as cabin crew in the company. Within its scope of application, the seniority principle aims to rank cabin crew according to area of ​​use, length of service and professional experience in the company in accordance with the following rules. The basis for ranking according to the seniority principle is the seniority date of the cabin crew.

74.2 Definitions

OS cabin crew:
Cabin crew who were employed as cabin crew by Austrian Airlines on 30 June 2012.

VO cabin crew:
Cabin crew who were employed as cabin crew by Tyrolean Airways on 30 June 2012.

NEW cabin crew:
Cabin crew who joined the company as cabin crew on or after July 1, 2012.

Upgrading:
Promotion or appointment of an FA to Purser I.

Downgrading:
Demotion of a Purser I to a flight attendant.

74.3 Seniority ranks 

FA: Flight Attendant.
PM: Mainline Purser I.
PR: Regional Purser I.

74.4 This SRKM-K regulates exclusively the following application cases:

74.4.1 For the “Mainline” and “Regional” usage areas

a. Upgrading to Mainline Purser I, downgrading to flight attendant,
b. Upgrading to Regional Purser I, downgrading to FA,
c. Appointment as Purser II and withdrawal of this function,
d. Retraining or allocation to individual aircraft types,
e. Transfer abroad,
f. Objectively operational dismissal and re-employment,
g. (Partial) transfer of business and (partial) closure of business,
h. Special regulation for filling Purser I positions on the Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft types.

74.4.2 Other cases of application, e.g. in connection with the allocation of vacation days, storage of days off, flight requests, etc., can be regulated by works agreement.

74.5 The seniority principle shall only apply if the cabin crew has the qualifications necessary for the task assigned or fulfils the promotion criteria.

74.6 If cabin crew does not exercise a right granted under the SRKM-K (eg does not apply for a tender under the SRKM-K) or waives the exercise of this right, they will not be compensated for any disadvantage that may arise as a result.

74.7 If cabin crew from the seniority ranks PM or PR voluntarily apply for the seniority rank FA, they will only be considered if they agree to a reduction in salary. This does not apply to cases where retraining to the seniority rank FA would have taken place even without the specific cabin crew member's voluntary application within a period of 12 months from the advertisement (eg on the basis of points 77.9.3, 77.10.3, Additional Protocol 2).

74.8 If cabin crew with a higher seniority number (worse seniority) is granted a right which, in accordance with this SRKM-K with regard to point 74.5, would be granted to cabin crew with a lower seniority number (better seniority) (“overtaking ”), this right shall be equally granted to all cabin crew overtaken in the process.

74.9 Advertisements and their duration must be designed in such a way that potential applicants have the opportunity to express their views and apply during the advertisement period. This is to be considered to be the case if the application period lasted at least four weeks and was published in accordance with company practice.

75th seniority date

75.1 Each member of the cabin crew shall be assigned a seniority date which shall be decisive for his or her classification under the SRKM-K.

75.2 The seniority date is the date of commencement of the theoretical basic course (Initial Training), provided that the course is successfully completed in accordance with the training program.

75.3 If participants in a training course (basic course) are trained on different aircraft types or if the course is split over time, the date of the course which begins earlier shall be decisive for the entire training course.

75.4 In the case of parental leave (including leave without pay) lasting more than four months, a new seniority date is determined when the employee returns to work. The number of days of absence over four months is added to the original date. To calculate the length of the parental leave, all parental leave within a rolling period of 12 months is added together.

However, leave of absence within the statutory scope under the Maternity Protection Act or the Paternity Leave Act, family hospice leave, care leave and part-time work remain irrelevant and therefore have no influence on the seniority date.

75.5 OS cabin crew retain the seniority data valid on 30 June 2012 from their employment relationship with Austrian Airlines, whereby any deduction (deterioration) of the seniority date that occurred during this employment relationship due to leave under the Maternity Protection Act or the Paternity Leave Act , family hospice leave or care leave - but in each case up to a maximum of the statutory amount - will be reversed. 

VO cabin crew retain the seniority data valid on June 30, 2012 from their employment relationship with Tyrolean Airways, whereby any deduction (deterioration) of the seniority date that occurred during this employment relationship due to leave under the Maternity Protection Act or the Paternity Leave Act , family hospice leave or care leave - but in each case up to a maximum of the statutory amount - will be reversed.

For NEW cabin crew, the seniority date is determined according to the rules above.

75.6 In the event of termination of the employment relationship as a result of notice of termination or resignation by the employee, in the event of termination of the employment relationship by mutual consent, or in the event of legally effective termination of the employment relationship as a result of notice of termination or dismissal by the employer, which are not objectively due to operational reasons, the seniority date shall expire.

75.7 All matters relating to seniority shall be discussed with the Board Works Council. The agreements shall be recorded in the minutes.

75.8 Any change in seniority date shall be communicated immediately in writing to the cabin crew concerned.

75.9 If a seniority date cannot be assigned with certainty in accordance with the provisions of this SRKM-K, the seniority date shall be assigned or changed by mutual agreement between the Head of Cabin Operations and the Onboard Works Council.

76th seniority lists

76.1 Two seniority lists are kept. Seniority list "M" is for the "Mainline" area of ​​employment, and seniority list "R" is for the "Regional" area of ​​employment. The seniority lists are kept by the Head of Cabin Operations in consultation with the on-board works council. They must contain at least:

a. Sequential numbering of d. entries (“seniority number”),
b. seniority date,
c. function,
i.e. surname and first name,
e. aircraft type(s) on which the cabin crew member is currently deployed,
f. seniority rank,
g. date of birth,
h. personnel number,
i. place of duty.

76.1.1 Seniority list “M”
Cabin crew are ranked in the seniority list “M” by first ranking OS cabin crew in ascending order of their seniority data. Then, VO cabin crew are ranked last in ascending order of their seniority data. Finally, all NEW cabin crew are ranked in ascending order of their seniority data.

76.1.2 Seniority list “R”
Cabin crew are ranked in the seniority list “R” by first ranking the VO cabin crew in ascending order of their seniority data. Then OS cabin crew are ranked last in ascending order of their seniority data. Finally, all NEW cabin crew are ranked in ascending order of their seniority data.

76.2 In the case of identical seniority data, the ranking shall be based on the date of birth, with priority given to the oldest cabin crew member; in the case of identical seniority and date of birth, the ranking shall be based on the ascending alphabetical order of the surnames.

76.3 The seniority lists must be made known to all members of the cabin crew after any significant changes, but at least once a year. Only the data specified in points 76.1 a, b, d, f, g and i are published. All changes compared to the previous version (except for the seniority number resulting from the ranking) must be highlighted.

77. Upgrading to Purser I, downgrading to flight attendant and retraining or assignment to individual aircraft types

77.1 For OS and VO cabin crew, the allocation to individual aircraft types that existed for the respective cabin crew member on June 30, 2012 may only be changed on a voluntary basis. The exception to this is the elimination of positions on individual aircraft types due to complete or partial decommissioning, as well as retraining on aircraft types newly introduced into the fleet as of December 1, 2014, in accordance with point 77.6.

77.2 A new seniority rank shall be awarded upon successful completion of the associated training, including FAM flights and assessment flight.

77.3 Newly recruited cabin crew shall be assigned to seniority rank FA without exception. Allocation to specific aircraft types shall be based on operational needs.

77.4 Within a seniority rank PR or PM, there is no ranking between individual aircraft types. The allocation of cabin crew to a specific aircraft type within these seniority ranks is based on economic needs, taking into account point 77.1. Where possible, requests should be taken into account in ascending order of the seniority number on the seniority list for the respective area of ​​use.

77.5 If positions in seniority rank FA are to be filled, they must be advertised. Positions on mainline aircraft are filled from among applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers from the "M" seniority list, and positions on regional aircraft are filled from among applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers from the "R" seniority list.

77.6 If there are not enough qualified applicants for an advertised position, qualified cabin crew shall be required to serve on the relevant aircraft types for positions on mainline aircraft within the seniority list “R” and for positions on regional aircraft within the seniority list “M ”, in reverse seniority order.

77.7 If, for operational reasons not related to the employee, it is necessary to refrain from promoting him when others are being promoted, even though he should be promoted based on his seniority and qualifications, he will be compensated for the disadvantage resulting from this the time the preferred member of the cabin crew is promoted. If such a deferral exceeds 6 months, it is only permissible with the written consent of the employee concerned.

77.8 A works agreement may provide that if applicants refuse training after a successful application, they will not be considered for further vacancies for a period not exceeding 13 months.

77.9 Upgrade to Mainline Purser I, Downgrading to Flight Attendant

77.9.1 Promotions to Mainline Purser I are to be advertised within the seniority list “M”. Promotion to Mainline Purser I is made upon qualification (point 74.5) within the seniority list “M” from among the applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers.

77.9.2 The course required for promotion must begin no later than twelve months after the end of the tendering procedure.

77.9.3 If it is necessary to downgrade a Mainline Purser I to an FA for operational reasons other than personal reasons, the following procedure shall be followed:

77.9.3.1 For such measures, volunteers must first be sought from among the mainline pursers of the aircraft type concerned. The positions will be filled from among the volunteers in ascending order of seniority numbers from the seniority list "M", whereby point 74.7 is relevant. 

77.9.3.2 The involuntary reduction of a surplus of Mainline Pursers I shall be carried out by downgrading to flight attendant among all Mainline Pursers from the seniority rank PM without taking into account the aircraft type, starting with the youngest M-PUI in descending order of the seniority number of the seniority list "M".

77.9.3.3 If there is at least one Regional Purser I with a higher seniority number on both seniority lists “M” and “R” than a Mainline Purser I who is to be demoted in accordance with the above rules, the person to be demoted shall, at his request, be reclassified as a Regional Purser I rather than a flight attendant.

77.10 Upgrade to Regional Purser I, Downgrading to Flight Attendant

77.10.1 Promotions to Regional Purser I are to be advertised within the seniority list “R”. Promotion to Regional Purser I is made upon qualification (point 74.5) within the seniority list “R” from among the applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers.

77.10.2 The course required for promotion must begin no later than twelve months after the end of the tendering procedure.

77.10.3 If it is necessary to downgrade a Regional Purser I to a Flight Attendant for operational reasons not related to the flight attendant, the following procedure shall be followed:

77.10.3.1 For such measures, volunteers must first be sought from among the flight attendants of the aircraft type concerned. The positions will be filled from among the volunteers in ascending order of seniority numbers from the seniority list "R", whereby point 74.7 is relevant. 

77.10.3.2 The involuntary reduction of a surplus of Regional Pursers I shall be carried out by downgrading to flight attendant among all flight attendants from the seniority rank PR without taking into account the aircraft type, starting with the youngest flight attendant in descending order of the seniority number of the seniority list "R".

77.10.3.3 If there is subsequently at least one Mainline Purser I with a higher seniority number on both seniority lists “M” and “R” than a Regional Purser I who is to be demoted in accordance with the above rules, the person to be demoted shall, at his request, be reclassified as a Mainline Purser I rather than a flight attendant.

78. Appointment as Purser II and withdrawal of this authorization

78.1 Appointments to Purser II are to be advertised within the seniority list "M" under the seniority rank PM. The selection from the pool of applicants is made by the Head of Cabin Operations. The appointment to Purser II is made within the seniority list "M" from the pool of applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers, provided that the qualifications are the same (point 74.5).

78.2 If it is necessary to withdraw the Purser II authorisation for operational reasons not related to the flight attendant, this must be done within the seniority list "M" among all Purser IIs, starting with the youngest Purser II in descending order of seniority numbers.

79. Transfer abroad

In the case of transfers abroad, the conditions and modalities must be regulated by works agreement.

80. Objective dismissal and re-employment for operational reasons

80.1 Objectively operational dismissals are made – taking social circumstances into account – in ascending order of dismissal numbers regardless of seniority rank and aircraft type. Cabin crew dismissed in this way retain their seniority date until they are reinstated, but for a maximum period of 5 years.

If fixed-term employment contracts expire due to the passage of time and the employer declares to the employee that he is in principle willing to re-employ them, these flight attendants will also retain their seniority date until they are re-employed, but for a maximum period of five years.

80.2 Termination sequence or termination number
The termination number is determined by consecutively ranking all members of the cabin crew in descending order of their seniority dates (most recent seniority date first).

In case of the same seniority data, the ranking will be based on the date of birth, with priority given to the younger member of the cabin crew; in case of the same seniority and date of birth, the ranking will be based on the descending alphabetical order of the surnames.

The termination sequence or number and its system are not relevant for other matters of the SRKM-K (except for (partial) plant closures in accordance with point 81).

80.3 Cabin crew members terminated/resigned in accordance with clause 80.1 shall have the right to re-employment in the order of seniority dates during the period of validity of their seniority date in the event that cabin crew members are employed (hired, transferred to the company, reassigned).

Re-employed cabin crew members whose employment relationship has been terminated due to the passage of time will have a new seniority date determined upon re-employment, with the days of absence being calculated from the original seniority date.

81. (Partial) transfer of business, (partial) closure of business

81.1 (Partial) transfers of operations and (partial) closures of operations shall not lead to circumvention of the seniority-based rules of this SRKM-K.

81.2 Even in the case of partial closures, point 80 shall apply if a reduction in personnel is necessary.

81.3 Prior to partial transfers of operations, each affected member of the cabin crew shall have the right to be retrained on another aircraft type not affected by a partial transfer of operations if, in the event of a partial closure of operations carried out instead of a partial transfer of operations, he or she would not be affected by a reduction in personnel within the meaning of point 81.2 in conjunction with point 80.

82. (repealed)

83.1 Objectives and Definition

83.1.1 The career model sets out the framework for the career of cabin crew.

83.1.2 During their career, cabin crew may, building on their role as flight attendant, progress through the career steps of Regional and Mainline Purser I and Purser II, whereby these career steps are carried out in accordance with the SRKM-K.

83.1.3 Cabin crew will be deployed on a maximum of three aircraft types simultaneously during their career. Training on narrowbody to widebody aircraft types and vice versa must be advertised and the SRKM-K must be applied accordingly.

83.1.4 Requirements, application and admission criteria, selection criteria, minimum training content, required qualifications, proof of qualifications, crediting/recognition of previously acquired qualifications and further details of the career model are to be regulated by works agreement in accordance with the commissions of point 83.

83.2 Application and admission

Both men and women who meet the required entry qualifications/qualification requirements can apply to be cabin crew.

83.3 Basic training

83.3.1 Theory course
The basic training of flight attendants takes place in a certified training facility. A maximum of two narrowbody aircraft types are trained.

During basic training, flight attendants are classified in the employment group “flight attendants in training” (point 55.2.2).

83.3.2 Appointment until completion
After successful completion of the theory course, the applicant is appointed as a flight attendant and reclassified to the job group “flight attendant” (point 55.2.3).

After completing the familiarization flights in accordance with OM-D, on-the-job training begins. Completion marks the end of on-the-job training and takes place after at least six and at the latest after twelve months of flight experience in active flight service.

After at least six months in active flight service, training on a third narrowbody aircraft type can take place if the company determines that there is a need.

After at least eight months in active flight service, training on mainline widebody aircraft types can be carried out if the company determines that there is a need. 

83.4 Personnel development

83.4.1 In accordance with the objectives of the career model, appropriate qualifications must be defined for the respective functions, which can be pursued at the earliest after completion of training and one year in active flight service.

83.4.2 The training and acquisition of the necessary qualifications takes place in a modular manner and in several steps.

83.4.3 The type of proof of the respective qualification shall be defined, unless this is required by law or by regulatory authorities. 

83.4.4 As part of the modular training, a voluntary final qualification for cabin crew shall be provided. Completion of the final qualification shall provide evidence that the professional knowledge and experience have been expanded to such a level that they correspond qualitatively to a trained profession.

83.4.5 Within the meaning of these provisions, personnel development may also enable additional functions in non-aviation or aviation-related areas of activity (eg training, recruitment), which can be performed voluntarily and outside the SRKM-K.

83.5 Purser I

83.5.1 General
A Purser I is used on narrowbody and widebody aircraft. On long-haul flights, the Purser I is used as a representative of the Purser II and leads the team in Economy Class.

The Purser I is responsible for the management and monitoring of the flight attendants and compliance with safety standards, as well as for customer care and customer satisfaction, and for quality assurance in the cabin of his respective flight. He coordinates the activities of the flight attendants in the cabin area, is responsible for the execution of administrative and flight-specific matters, as well as for communication between the cabin crew and the cockpit and all interfaces.

83.5.2 Appointment

Part 7: Final and transitional provisions

86. Transitional provisions [11]

[11] Where the term 'flight attendant' is used in point 86, the term is to be understood as it applied in the collective agreement in the version Rev.04 (in force until 30 April 2018).

The following transitional commissions apply to employees who were in an ongoing employment relationship as a pilot or flight attendant with Austrian Airlines or Tyrolean Airways on November 30, 2014:

86.1 Classification and years of service
The classification and determination of the year of service within the meaning of point 54.1 takes full account of the previous years of service in the current function as a pilot or as a flight attendant, as they were credited in the last employment relationship with Austrian Airlines or Tyrolean Airways for the classification as a pilot or as a flight attendant with a cut-off date of November 30, 2014.

86.2 Determination of the actual gross monthly salary

86.2.1 The respective (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary as of June 30, 2012 will be fictitiously increased by the advancements and inflation adjustments provided for in the respective remuneration scheme (the respective collective agreement including supplementary collective agreements valid as of June 30, 2012) as well as any reclassifications made up to November 30, 2014. For employees who began their employment on or after July 1, 2012, the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary as of November 30, 2014 is based on the applicable salary regulations.

86.2.2 If the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary determined in accordance with point 86.2.1 is a maximum of €2,000.00, this corresponds to the actual full-time gross monthly salary as of December 1, 2014. 
If a job group for which an allowance (eg senior flight attendant allowance) was taken into account is subsequently voluntarily given up, this allowance is no longer applicable.
In the case of part-time employment, the actual full-time gross monthly salary is prorated in accordance with the part-time performance obligation.

86.2.3 If the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary determined in accordance with point 86.2.1 is more than € 2,000, the following procedure shall apply:

86.2.3.1 Pilots
A reduction percentage is calculated from the assessment basis (that is, the basic salary and the flight allowance of the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary according to point 86.2.1) in accordance with point 86.2.3.5.

86.2.3.2 Flight attendants who were employed by Tyrolean Airways on 30 June 2012
A reduction percentage is calculated from the assessment basis (that is, the basic salary and the flight allowance of the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary according to point 86.2 .1) in accordance with point 86.2.3.5.

86.2.3.3 Junior flight attendants who were employed by Austrian Airlines on 30 June 2012
A reduction percentage is calculated from the assessment basis (that is, the basic salary and the flight allowance of the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary according to point 86.2.1) in accordance with point 86.2.3.5.

86.2.3.4 Senior flight attendants and pursers who were employed by Austrian Airlines on June 30, 2012
A reduction percentage is calculated from the assessment basis (that is, the basic salary and the flight allowance of the (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary according to point 86.2.1, reduced by the "senior flight attendant allowance" of € 440.00 already integrated into the basic salary and flight allowance) in accordance with point 86.2.3.5.

86.2.3.5 Reduction percentage


Reduction percentage =
assessment basis 
x 0.78901
1000

86.2.3.6 The respective assessment basis (points 86.2.3.1 to 86.2.3.4) is then reduced by the reduction percentage.

86.2.3.7 Collective agreement allowances
The (full-time) senior flight attendant allowance is

year of service as a senior FA allowance
1 – 5 € 350.00
from 6 € 418.00

The (full-time) purser allowance is EUR 260.00.
The relief pilot allowance is 4.4%.

86.2.3.8 Actual gross monthly salary
The sum of points 86.2.3.6 (reduced assessment basis) and, if applicable, 86.2.3.7 (senior flight attendant allowance, purser allowance, relief pilot allowance) represent the full-time actual gross monthly salary as of December 1, 2014.

If a job group for which an allowance (item 86.2.3.7) was taken into account is subsequently voluntarily abandoned, this allowance will no longer apply.

In the case of part-time employment, the full-time actual gross monthly salary is prorated according to the part-time performance obligation.

If a (fictitious full-time) gross monthly salary according to point 86.2.1 falls to a value of less than € 2,000.00 due to the application of the reduction percentage, the reduction will be made to a value of € 2,000.00. 

86.2.3.9 Allowances not included in the gross monthly salary (point 41.1) (e.g. from official duties, etc.) as of November 30, 2014, will be reduced by a flat rate of 19%. Any pro rata allocation of the allowance for part-time work will be determined from the agreement underlying the allowance.

86.2.4 Absorbable allowance
If the actual gross monthly salary determined in accordance with point 86.2.2 or 86.2.3.8 exceeds the gross monthly salary resulting from the classification and years of service according to point 56, the excess amount will continue to be granted as an absorbable allowance.

The absorbable allowance is reduced by future promotions, reclassifications to other employment groups, relief pilot allowances and any future table increases.

Any reduction in the absorbable allowance due to a senior FA or purser function allowance received for the first time on or after December 1, 2014 will be reversed as of September 1, 2016. No repayments will be made for the period up to August 31, 2016.

86.2.5 Individual collective agreement minimum gross monthly salaryThe full-time actual gross monthly salary according to point 86.2.2 or 86.2.3.8 - consisting of the gross monthly salary resulting from the classification and years of service according to point 56 plus the absorbable allowance (on a full-time basis) - represents the individual collective agreement full-time minimum gross monthly salary.

This will be increased by 0.6% as of May 1st, 2016.
This will be increased by €5.00 for flight attendants as of September 1st, 2016.

86.3 Compensation for the elimination of the step jump B9/B10 or 12./13.DJ

86.3.1 Employees who were employed as flight attendants at Austrian Airlines on 30 June 2012 and were not subject to the supplementary collective agreement 2 “Entries at Austrian Airlines AG before 1 April 2004” will receive – provided that they were 3 years or less before promotion to year of service level 13 of the salary tables “Job group junior flight attendants with diploma” or “Job group supervisory flight attendants with diploma (senior flight attendants)” on 30 November 2014 – an extraordinary absorbable allowance in the following amount upon promotion to year of service level 13 of the salary table “Flight attendants” (point 56.3.1):

classification on November 30, 2014 amount of the allowance
year of service 10 € 93.00
year of service 11 € 185.00
year of service 12 € 277.00

86.3.2 Employees who were employed as flight attendants at Tyrolean Airways on 30 June 2012 will receive – provided that they had been employed for 3 years or less on 30 November 2014 before being promoted to level B10 of the salary scale “Flight attendant with at at least 3 years of experience” – an extraordinary absorbable allowance in the following amount upon promotion to year of service level 13 of the salary scale “Flight attendant” (point 56.3.1):

classification on November 30, 2014 amount of the allowance
B7 € 93.00
B8 € 185.00
B9 € 277.00

86.3.3 The extraordinary absorbable allowance is prorated according to the part-time performance obligation and is reduced by future promotions, reclassifications to other employment groups and any future table increases.

86.4 New KV codification in relation to the austerity package

It is noted that, as a result of the revision of this collective agreement, the savings contributions from the supplementary collective agreements “Savings Package 2010-2015” of June 24, 2010 and “Savings Package” of March 9, 2010 are to be considered fulfilled for the period from the entry into force of this collective agreement until the end of the term of the supplementary collective agreements.

86.5 Severance pay in the course of the new version of the collective agreement

86.5.1 Employees who were employed as pilots or flight attendants by Austrian Airlines on 30 June 2012 (hereinafter referred to as “AUA-DN-Alt”) will receive severance pay in accordance with the following commissions.

86.5.2 The flight operations of Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Flugzeug GmbH will be transferred to Austrian Airlines AG by way of a transfer of operations as of 1 April 2015.

86.5.3 All AUA-DN-Alt will receive a written offer (email is sufficient) for a mutual termination of their employment relationship by December 14, 2014, which includes the respective multiplier and the basis for calculating the severance payment. All AUA-DN-Alt are then entitled to terminate their employment relationship by mutual agreement by March 31, 2015 by submitting a written declaration (email is sufficient) to the employer between December 15, 2014 and January 31, 2015, and either permanently terminated their employment relationship with the Group or establish a new employment relationship with Austrian Airlines AG under the same conditions.

86.5.4 This amicable termination triggers the severance payments described in more detail below in the event that the AUA-AN-old, together with the amicable termination, signs the following bilateral legal peace declaration

“By accepting this severance payment, the employee confirms that he has no outstanding claims against Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Flugzeug GmbH and Austrian Airlines AG until November 30, 2014 and will not assert any such claims.”

and a general clause (which does not include other claims arising from the termination of the employment relationship, such as holiday entitlement) to the effect that any further claims are waived until November 30, 2014. The severance payment is due in full upon termination of the employment relationship.

86.5.5 The basis for calculating the collective agreement severance payment is the actual full-time gross monthly salary as of December 1, 2014, determined on the basis of item 86.2.5, which is multiplied by the average level of employment over the years of service with Austrian Airlines or Tyrolean Airways (item 86.5.6) up to November 30, 2014, but in the case of statutory part-time retirement, on a full-time basis for this period.

86.5.6 The year of service shall be determined taking into account all previous years of service as they were credited in the last employment relationship with Austrian Airlines or Tyrolean Airways as of 30 November 2014.

86.5.7 The collective agreement severance payment is calculated as a multiple of this assessment basis. Any statutory severance payment is included in this. If the collective agreement severance payment is lower than the statutory severance payment, the old AUA employee is entitled to the statutory severance payment in any case.

86.5.8 For employees who were subject to the Supplementary Collective Agreement 2 (ie who were already employed by Austrian Airlines AG before 1 April 2004), the following commissions apply :

87. Final Provisions

Due to the necessary adjustments in various systems, the provisions listed below apply from the date indicated. Until then, the respective provisions of the OS-KV-2015 in the version Rev. 04 (in force from August 1, 2016) apply.

87.12 Durch die Neukodifizierung des Kollektivvertrages und seiner Anhänge, woraus sich weitreichende inhaltliche wie auch strukturelle Änderungen ergeben, können insbesondere bei Betriebsvereinbarungen, welche Verweise auf den Kollektivvertrag enthalten, Unstimmigkeiten auftreten. Bis zur Korrektur der entsprechenden Textstellen wird vereinbart, dass unstimmige Verweise sinngemäß auf jene Bestimmungen verweisen, auf die sie auch vor der Neugestaltung verwiesen haben, wobei eine allfällige Änderung der Nummerierung unbeachtlich ist.

87.13 Punkt 86.2.4, 2. Satz, tritt in dieser Textierung am 1.9.2016 in Kraft. 


Teil 8: Zusatzprotokolle

Zusatzprotokoll Nr. 1 zum Kollektivvertrag für das Bordpersonal 99 [12]

Die Kollektivvertragsparteien haben für das Kalenderjahr 2016 mit Wirkung ab 1.5.2016 folgende Indexanpassung (unter Berücksichtigung der Inflation von 2015) vereinbart:

[12] Soweit im Zusatzprotokoll Nr. 1 dieses Kollektivvertrages die Bezeichnung „Flugbegleiter“ verwendet wird, ist die Bezeichnung so zu verstehen, wie sie im Kollektivvertrag in der Fassung der Rev.04 (in Kraft bis 30. April 2018) gegolten hat.
Verweise auf Kollektivvertragspunkte beziehen sich ebenfalls auf den Kollektivvertrag in der Fassung der Rev.04.
 

1. Erhöhung IST-Gehälter

Es erfolgt eine Erhöhung der kollektivvertraglichen IST-Gehälter bzw. der individuellen kollektiv-vertraglichen Mindestbruttomonatsgehälter gemäß Punkt 86.2.5 zum 01.05.2016 um 0,6%. Diese Erhöhung erfolgt in Form einer aufsaugbaren Zulage bzw. wird einer allfällig bereits vorhandenen aufsaugbaren Zulage hinzugerechnet.

2. Erhöhung Tabellengehälter

In einem weiteren Schritt werden die Tabellengehälter wie folgt erhöht:

In den Tabellen unter Punkt 56.2 („First Officer“, „Regional-PIC“ und „Mainline-PIC“) werden die Gesamtbezüge jeweils um 1,2 % erhöht.

In der Tabelle unter Punkt 56.3.1 („Flugbegleiter“) wird der Gesamtbezug zuerst um 1,2 % und dann um € 10,00 brutto erhöht.

In der Tabelle unter Punkt 56.3.1 („Flugbegleiter Neueintritte ab 1.12.2014“) wird der Gesamtbezug zuerst um 1,2 % und dann um € 5,00 brutto erhöht.

Die Tabellenspalten Grundgehalt und Flugzulage werden entsprechend angepasst.

Für alle oben angeführten Erhöhungen der Gesamtbezüge in den Tabellengehältern gilt: durch die Erhöhung der Gesamtbezüge in den Tabellengehältern werden die Bruttomonatsgehälter der Dienstnehmer erhöht. Im selben Ausmaß verringern sich allfällige aufsaugbare Zulagen.

3. Erhöhung Senior-FA- und Purserzulage

Weiters werden die Senior-FA-Zulage (Punkt 56.3.2) und die Purserzulage (Punkt 56.3.3) um 1,2 % erhöht. Durch die Erhöhung dieser Zulagen wird eine allfällig vorhandene aufsaugbare Zulage reduziert.

4. Verhältnis zur Vorrückung

Fällt zum 1.5.2016 eine Vorrückung mit der Indexanpassung zusammen, gilt folgendes:
Zuerst erfolgt die Erhöhung des kollektivvertraglichen IST-Gehalts, dann die Tabellenerhöhung und anschließend wird der Dienstnehmer in das höhere Dienstjahr vorgerückt.

5. Gutschein

Jeder Dienstnehmer erhält einen REWE-Gutschein (Ausgabe ab 1.6.2016 im Büro des BRB) in der Höhe von maximal € 140,- nach den folgenden Kriterien:

Relevanter Zeitraum für die Ermittlung des individuellen Gutscheinbetrages ist der Beschäftigungszeitraum 01.01.2016 bis 30.04.2016.

Für eine Vollzeitbeschäftigung während des gesamten Zeitraumes von 1.1.2016 bis 30.4.2016 (121 Kalendertage) ohne unbezahlte Abwesenheiten beträgt die Höhe des Gutscheines € 140,-.

Tage mit unbezahlten Abwesenheiten (wie z.B. Karenzen oder Beginn des Dienstverhältnisses nach dem 1.1.2016, aber vor dem 30.4.2016 bzw. Ende des Dienstverhältnisses nach dem 1.1.2016, aber vor dem 30.4.2016), sowie allfällige Teilzeitbeschäftigungen reduzieren den Betrag des Gutscheins.

Für die Ermittlung der konkreten Höhe des Gutscheins wird zunächst ein sog. „Arbeitsfaktor“ ermittelt, welcher sich wie folgt berechnet:


Arbeitsfaktor (in %) =
Anteil
12.100 (Grundwert)

Das Ergebnis wird kaufmännisch auf ganze Stellen gerundet.

5.1 Berechnung des Anteils
Der Anteil errechnet sich aus der Summe der bezahlten Kalendertage pro Monat multipliziert mit dem für diese Kalendertage maßgeblichen Beschäftigungsgrad. Das bedeutet, dass für jeden Monat die bezahlten Kalendertage mit dem Beschäftigungsgrad multipliziert werden. Die daraus errechneten Ergebnisse  werden zum „Anteil“ addiert.

5.2 Berechnung des Grundwerts
Der Grundwert ist für jeden Dienstnehmer ein Fixbetrag von 12.100. Er errechnet sich aus der Anzahl der 121 Kalendertage multipliziert mit einem Vollzeitbeschäftigungsgrad von 100 %.

5.3 Beispiel
Ein Dienstnehmer hatte im gesamten Jänner eine bezahlte Leistungsverpflichtung von 80 %. Im Februar war er karenziert. Im März und April hatte er eine bezahlte Leistungsverpflichtung von 70 %.

Monat Bezahlte Kalendertage Beschäftigungsgrad Ergebnis
Jänner 31 80 2.480
Februar 0 0 0
März 31 70 2.170
April 30 70 2.100
    Anteil 6.750
6.750
12.100
=0,5578 ergibt 56%

Der resultierende Arbeitsfaktor ergibt die Gutscheinhöhe laut Tabelle (siehe unten):

Arbeitsfaktor Gutschein-Betrag in Euro
97 - 100% 140
90 – 96% 130
89 - 95% 120
75 - 88% 110
68 – 74% 100
61 – 67% 90
54 – 60% 80
47 – 53% 70
40 – 46% 60
33 – 39% 50
25 – 32% 40
18 – 24% 30
11 – 17% 20
bis 10% 10

Die Kollektivvertragsparteien werden über ZLF/RLF und die Ost/West-Regel verhandeln, sobald das Austrian Fatigue Risk Management implementiert ist.


Zusatzprotokoll Nr. 2 zum Kollektivvertrag für das Bordpersonal

1. Präambel[13]

[13] Soweit in der Präambel des Zusatzprotokolls Nr. 2 dieses Kollektivvertrages die Bezeichnung „Flugbegleiter“ verwendet wird, ist die Bezeichnung so zu verstehen, wie sie im Kollektivvertrag in der Fassung der Rev.04 (in Kraft bis 30. April 2018) gegolten hat.

1.1 Die Airline Branche unterliegt sehr raschen und gravierenden Veränderungen. Die Dynamik des Wirtschaftszweiges erfordert auch eine regelmäßige Anpassung der sozialen Regelwerke. In diesem Umfeld wurde die Neufassung des Kollektivvertrages für das Bordpersonal (OS-KV-2015) per Dezember 2014 abgeschlossen, welche in Punkt 71 die Möglichkeit zur Weiterentwicklung des Senioritäts- und Karrieremodells (SRKM) nach Ende 2019 unter gewissen Voraussetzungen definiert. Daraufhin wurden in einer gesonderten „Schlichtungsvereinbarung Karriere“ der Sozialpartner vom 31.10.2014 folgende zu berücksichtigenden Kriterien vereinbart:

a. Karriereerwartungen zum 30.6.2012,
b. Historische Karriere- und Gehaltsentwicklungen in den jeweiligen Gruppen, z.B.

  • Unterschiedliches Dienstalter bei Upgrading,
  • Unterschiedliche Wartezeit/Verweildauer als Copilot vor Upgrading,
  • Unterschied der Senioritätsdaten der dann jüngsten Commander,
  • Sanierungsbeiträge in der Vergangenheit,

c. Dienstalter,
d. Gesammelte Informationen aus der Arbeitsgruppe Karriere und den Hearings.

Für den Fall, dass kein tragfähiger Vorschlag seitens der Belegschaftsvertreter für die Nachfolgeregelung ab 01.01.2020 vorgelegt wird, wurde eine ergebnisoffene Schlichtung nach dem Vorbild der ALPA Merger Policy vereinbart, welche insbesondere, aber nicht ausschließlich, eine der folgenden Ergebnisvarianten ins Auge fasste:

a. Beibehaltung getrennter Senioritätslisten,
b. Einführung einer gemeinsamen Senioritätsliste einschließlich deren Gestaltung,
c. Modalitäten für objektiv betriebsbedingte Kündigungen,
d. Beibehaltung oder Abschaffung von Quotenregeln,
e. Einführung von Übergangsregeln (Fencing).

1.2 Die auf Basis der Vorschläge der Belegschaftsvertreter mit diesem Zusatzprotokoll umgesetzte Weiterentwicklung des SRKM berücksichtigt ebenso die für o.a. Schlichtung vorgesehenen Kriterien und Varianten und darüber hinaus die wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen im Unternehmen.

1.3 Obwohl die Weiterentwicklung des SRKM ursprünglich erst per 01.01.2020 vorgesehen war, wird mit dem Abschluss dieses Zusatzprotokolls diese zeitlich vorgezogen und abgeschlossen. Die Punkte 70, 71, 82 und 84 OS-KV-2015 sind somit erfüllt und treten außer Kraft.

1.4 Historie und Entwicklung des Karrieremodells

FEDEX and Flying Tiger Pilots Seniority Integration Decision of Arbitrator Nicolau, 1990:

„There are four basic lessons to be learned from those submissions... that each case turns on its own facts; that the objective is to make the integration fair and equitable; that the proposals advanced by those in contest rarely meet that standard; and that the end result, no matter how crafted, never commands universal acceptance." 

„Aus den bisherigen Vorbringen kann man vier grundsätzliche Erkenntnisse ziehen: Jeder Fall ist individuell zu beurteilen; das Ziel muss eine faire und gerechte Integration sein; die Vorschläge der Konfliktparteien erfüllen dies nur selten; das Endresultat wird niemals bei allen Akzeptanz finden.“

1.4.1 Frühere Bemühungen und Betriebsübergang
Das Karrieremodell entstand aus einer wirtschaftlichen Notwendigkeit, zwei Personalgruppen in einer Firma zu vereinen. Es definiert, nach welchen Regeln und Abläufen Upgradings (Beförderungen vom Kopiloten zum Kapitän, bzw. von Flugbegleiter zum Senior Flugbegleiter), Downgradings (Degradierung vom Kapitän zum Kopiloten bzw. von Senior Flugbegleiter zum Junior Flugbegleiter), Umschulungen auf andere Flugzeugmuster oder andere Funktionen bzw. der Entzug der entsprechenden Berechtigungen, Versetzungen ins Ausland, objektiv bedingte Kündigungen und Wiedereinstellungen, (Teil-) Betriebsübergänge und (Teil-) Betriebsstilllegungen zu erfolgen haben.

Bereits 2003 gab es den ersten Versuch, ein gemeinsames Karrieremodell für Austrian Airlines, Lauda Air und Tyrolean Airways zu schaffen. Um eine Umsetzung angesichts von Vorbehalten einer großen Gruppe von Tyrolean-Piloten zu ermöglichen, wurde dies zunächst für Austrian Airlines und Lauda verwirklicht und eine Integration der Tyrolean auf einen späteren Zeitpunkt aufgeschoben. Eine 2005 von den Betriebsräten vereinbarte Lösung wurde aufgrund personeller Veränderungen in den Betriebsratskörperschaften nicht weiter mit den Dienstgebern verhandelt.

Im Jahr 2010 gab es einen weiteren Ansatz zur Integration der beiden Personalkörper. Damals wurde die Notwendigkeit erkannt, für den Zeitraum nach der Ausflottung der Fokker eine Zukunftsperspektive für das Tyrolean Personal zu schaffen. Die Scope Clause (der Geltungsbereich) des Austrian Kollektivvertrags schloss den Betrieb eines größeren Nachfolgemusters unter Anwendung des Tyrolean Kollektivvertrages aus. Letztendlich scheiterte der Versuch zum damaligen Zeitpunkt an der entsprechenden rechtlichen Absicherung in den Kollektivverträgen, ebenso 2012 eine diesbezügliche Mediation.

Im Februar 2012 kündigte die Wirtschaftskammer Österreich (auf Ersuchen des Vorstandes der Austrian Airlines) den Kollektivvertrag des fliegenden Personals der Austrian Airlines. Daraufhin kündigte die Gewerkschaft Vida im März 2012 den Kollektivvertrag des fliegenden Personals von Tyrolean Airways um zu verhindern, dass ein falscher, weil lediglich für den Betrieb von Regional-Flugzeugen bzw. für eine Regional-Airline abgeschlossener, Tyrolean-Kollektivvertrag „über die Hintertür“ sodann auch auf Mainline-Flugzeuge anwendbar werden würde. Dies ergibt sich aus dem umfassenden Geltungsbereich des Austrian Kollektivvertrages. Anfang Mai 2012 beschloss der damalige Vorstand von Austrian Airlines dennoch den Betriebsübergang des Flugbetriebs von Austrian Airlines zu Tyrolean mit 1. Juli 2012.

Der Betriebsrat Bord sowie Gewerkschaft Vida brachten Klagen gegen den Betriebsinhaber respektive Wirtschaftskammer ob der Wirksamkeit des Betriebsübergangs und der Nachwirkung des Kollektivvertrags ein. In der Folge fanden zwar viele Umschulungen von Tyrolean Personal von Regional Flugzeugen auf Mainline Flugzeuge statt, die aber keine negativen Auswirkungen auf die Karriereaussichten von anderen Mitgliedern des Bordpersonals hatten. Großteils wurden die jeweiligen Flotten von dem bestehenden Personal betrieben.

1.4.2 Arbeitsgruppe „Karriere“
Dennoch war es offensichtlich, dass auf Dauer nur ein neues, gemeinsames Kar-rieremodell die Funktionalität des Flugbetriebs garantieren kann. Daher wurde ei-ne eigene Arbeitsgruppe „Karriere“ installiert. Ziel dieser Karrieregruppe war es, Lösungsvorschläge für ein gemeinsames, ausgewogenes Modell zur Bereede-rung der bestehenden und künftigen Flotten auszuarbeiten. Die Problemstellung lag vor allem darin, einen Ausgleich zwischen jenen Regional-Kapitänen, die sich bei einer Regional-Airline beworben haben und dort rasch Kapitänserfahrung ge-sammelt haben und jenen Kopiloten, die sich auf einer Mainline Fluglinie bewor-ben haben, und dort länger als Kopiloten auf größerem Fluggerät beschäftigt wa-ren und auf ihre Beförderung warten mussten, zu schaffen. Dieser Ausgleich musste im Hinblick auf die Stilllegung einer Regionalflotte (Fokker) und den Auf-bau einer Mainline Flotte (Embraer) erfolgen.

Die Karrieregruppe wurde aus Betriebsratsmitgliedern der Belegschaftsgruppen „ehemalig Tyrolean“ und „ehemalig Austrian“ paritätisch besetzt. Zusätzlich wurden Vertreter der Abteilung Flugbetrieb zugezogen. Sie veranstaltete Hearings unter Teilnahme von Mitarbeitern aller Personalgruppen. Darin wurden folgende Präferenzen der Kollegen zu verschiedenen Themen definiert und in Folge abgefragt.

a. Dienstalter
b. Erhalt der Kapitänsposition
c. Beibehalten der Wunschbase
d. Einheit der Gesamtgruppe
e. Rechtssicherheit
f. Jobsicherheit
g. Klarheit und Struktur
h. Upgradedauer
i. Dauer Umschulung Longrange
j. Internationale Standards
k. Vermeidung von Zwangsschulungen
l. Zusätzliche Karrieremöglichkeit
m. Erhalt Funktionsrang Longrange
n. Historie
o. Vermeidung Zugewinne auf Kosten anderer
p. Beibehaltung der Karriereerwartung

Dabei wurden die Punkte a) bis c) von Vertretern der Tyrolean Mannschaft am höchsten bewertet, n) bis p) von jenen der ehemaligen Austrian Mitarbeiter. Diese Ergebnisse wurden als Gewichtung der unterschiedlichen Parameter umgerechnet.

Anhand dieser Gewichtungen konnte für verschiedene Szenarien und Karrieremodelle eine Nutzwertanalyse erstellt werden. Die Szenarien stellten verschiedene Flottenentwicklungen dar. Als damals wahrscheinlichstes Szenario galt die Ausflottung der Fokker und die Einflottung von Flugzeugen der C-Serie von Bombardier. Dafür wurde das Karrieremodell mit dem höchsten Nutzwert über alle Beschäftigungsgruppen ermittelt. Jenes Modell stellte auch für eine große Band-breite von Szenarien den maximalen Nutzwert dar.

1.4.3 EuGH-Urteil zur KV-Nachwirkung und Neufassung des Kollektivvertrages
Im September 2014 fällte der Europäische Gerichtshof sein stattgebendes Urteil über die Nachwirkung des Austrian Kollektivvertrags. Dieses stellte zwar einerseits wieder Rechtssicherheit in Aussicht, andererseits machte es einen schnellen Abschluss eines neuen Kollektivvertrags zur wirtschaftlichen Überlebensfrage. In diesem Zusammenhang musste auch eine Entscheidung über das künftige Karrieremodell gefällt werden.

Dazu traf am 31.10.2014 der Betriebsrat vollständig zusammen. An diesem Tag konnte eine Lösung für die Bereederung aller Flotten in den kommenden Jahren gefunden werden. Dabei wurde auf die Arbeit der Karrieregruppe zurückgegriffen. Diese Lösung wurde von allen Betriebsratsmitgliedern einstimmig angenommen.

Da sich aber die Szenarien in einer derart dynamischen Branche sehr schnell verändern können, wurde im Rahmen der Abstimmung auch die Möglichkeit für die Weiterentwicklung des Karrieremodells bei einer wesentlichen Änderung des Szenarios geschaffen.

Die Lösung sah eine weitere bevorzugte Bereederung der Dash Flotte durch die ehemaligen Mitarbeiter von Tyrolean anhand der Senioritätsliste „R“ (Regional) vor. Für Airbus und Boeing Flugzeuge erhielten die Mitarbeiter von Austrian Airlines die bevorzugte Karrieremöglichkeit anhand der Senioritätsliste „M“ (Mainline). Dadurch wurde der Status Quo auf jenen Flotten aufrechterhalten und allen abgefragten Parametern ((a)-(p)) wurde damit Rechnung getragen.

1.4.4 Quotenregelung
Die Bereederung der C-Serie (bzw. in Folge der Embraer E195 Serie) wurde nach einer Quote 2:1 Austrian (OS) zu Tyrolean (VO) aufgeteilt. Diese Quote ergab sich aus der Berechnung der ehemaligen Karriereentwicklung, wobei diese ursprünglich 3:1 ausgefallen wäre. Bei Tyrolean fand bis zum Jahr 2009 eine große Ex-pansionswelle statt. Durch die Einflottung der Fokker, Verschub der ehemaligen Lauda Air Canadair Regional Jets (beides auch auf Kosten der Austrian Flotte) und höherer Fluktuation in der Belegschaft entstanden viele und schnelle Karrieremöglichkeiten bei Tyrolean. Die Zeitspanne ab der Einstellung bis hin zum Upgrading (Upgrade-Dauer) lag in vielen Fällen unter 3 Jahren.

Bei Austrian Airlines fand in dem gleichen Zeitraum eine Schrumpfung der Flotte statt. Langstreckenflugzeuge (A330, A340) und Mittelstreckenflugzeuge (MD80) wurden ausgemustert, 2 Fokker an KLM zurückgestellt  und Austrian Fokker Flugzeuge sowie Canadair Regional Jets wurden zu Tyrolean verschoben. Die Flotte der Mainline Flugzeuge sank in 12 Jahren von dem historischen Höchststand von 59 Flugzeugen auf einen Tiefstand von 39 Flugzeugen. Bei Tyrolean Airways wurden am Ende dieses Zeitraumes zwar alle 50-sitzigen Flugzeuge abgebaut (21 CRJ und Dash 8, ca. 30 % der Gesamtflotte), im 12 Jahres-Durchrechnungszeitraum ergibt das dennoch ein Wachstum um 15 Prozent (siehe Abb. 1).

Daraus ergibt sich, dass es bei beiden Airlines einen in absoluten Zahlen gleich großen historischen Höchststand gab. Auch die Schrumpfung ist absolut im gleichen Maße erfolgt (Abb. 1), wobei die Schrumpfung bei Austrian zu Gunsten von Tyrolean ausfiel (Verschub von Flugzeugen), die Schrumpfung bei Tyrolean jedoch keinerlei positiven Effekt bei Austrian auslöste.

Daher lag die Wartezeit für ein Upgrading im Mainline Bereich bei bis zu 19 Jahren. Das bedeutet, dass Kopiloten bei Austrian bis zu 19 Jahre auf eine Position als Kapitän warten mussten, während gleichzeitig bei Tyrolean Kollegen bereits nach 3 Jahren die Funktion des verantwortlichen Piloten übertragen bekamen (siehe Abb. 2). Um diese Zeitspannen, quasi den Rückstau der Kopiloten im Mainline Bereich (siehe Abb. 3) auszugleichen, wurde die Quote auf der C-Series bzw. dem  Embraer mit ursprünglich 3:1 berechnet, aber dann im Konsens auf 2:1 festgelegt.

1.4.5 Veränderung des Flottenplanes
In Folge veränderte sich das Flottenszenario vom angenommenen Szenario nur insofern, als dass statt der C-Serie tatsächlich Flugzeuge der Embraer E-Serie eingeflottet wurden (mit Stand Frühjahr 2015). Dies geschah bereits ein Jahr früher als angenommen. Dadurch wurden auch die Fokker Flugzeuge ein Jahr früher als angenommen aus der Produktion genommen.

Am 4. März 2015 wurde diese Änderung offiziell im Betriebsrat diskutiert. Dabei wurde auch mit Stimmen von ehemaligen Tyrolean Betriebsratsmitgliedern die Änderung von „C-Serie“ auf „E-Serie“ als NICHT wesentliche Änderung im Sinne des Karrieremodells gewertet. Lediglich den zeitlichen Ablauf hielten alle „Tyrolean“ Betriebsratsmitglieder als eine wesentliche Änderung. Für die Betriebsrats-mitglieder von Austrian Airlines stellte die vorgezogene Ablöse der Fokker keine wesentliche Änderung für das gesamte Karrieremodell dar. Zwar variierte damit der zeitliche Ablauf, die grundlegende Idee und die Parameter der Karrieregruppe blieben jedoch unverändert bestehen.

Die Frage, ob und ggf. wann die zeitliche Änderung ein Vorziehen der Weiterent-wicklung des Karrieremodells nötig machte, wurde in weiterer Folge ausführlich aber ohne Ergebnis diskutiert.

1.4.6 Umschulungsströme Regional - Mainline
In den Ausschreibungen für weitere Karriereschritte stellte sich heraus, dass viele Piloten und Flugbegleiter der Regionalflotten eine Bewerbung für ein Mainline-Flugzeug abgaben. Im April 2015 waren bereits 15 Prozent der Tyrolean-Piloten auf eigenen Wunsch auf ein Muster im Mainline Bereich umgeschult da durch Upgrades von OS Piloten entsprechende Positionen frei wurden. Damit haben auch viele Regionalpiloten von den Betriebsübergängen karrieretechnisch profitiert.

Unter der Kabinenbesatzung war das Interesse zum Wechsel auf ein Mainline-Flugzeug derart groß, dass die Abwanderung von Senior Flugbegleitern von den Regionalflotten nur durch „Zwangs-Beförderungen“ von jungen Kollegen ausgeglichen werden konnte. Einer gewünschten Abwanderung von 66 Dienstnehmern (18 Prozent) aus dem Regionalbereich stand eine freiwillige Meldung von genau 7 Kollegen aus dem Mainline Bereich gegenüber. Beim Kabinenpersonal hat der Zusammenschluss somit hauptsächlich dem ehemaligen Tyrolean-Personal neue Karriereoptionen ermöglicht.

1.4.7 Umschulungsströme Mainline – Regional
Es fanden keine Umschulungen vom Verwendungsbereich Mainline zum Verwendungsbereich Regional statt, mit Ausnahme der oben erwähnten 7 FlugbegleiterInnen.

1.4.8 Kriterien
Folgende Parameter fanden für den Regional- (Abb. 4) respektive dem Mainline- (Abb. 5) Bereich Anwendung:

a. Dienstalter
b. Erhalt der Kapitänsposition
c. Beibehalten der Wunschbase
d. Historie
e. Vermeidung Zugewinne auf Kosten anderer
f. Beibehaltung der Karriereerwartung

1.4.9 Personalbedarfsentwicklung
Durch Personalabgänge in allen Bereichen, veränderte wirtschaftliche Gegebenheiten, höhere Saisonalität und ein modifiziertes gesetzliches Arbeitszeitregelwerk trat aber eine neue personelle Konstellation ein. Bereits im Sommer 2015 wurde bei Austrian Airlines ein eklatanter Pilotenmangel evident. Rund 800 Flüge (rund 0,65 Prozent der Produktion) mussten kurzfristig wegen Personalmangels gestrichen werden.

Der höhere Bedarf an Piloten und Flugbegleitern brachte für das gesamte bestehende Personal auch weitere positive Karriereaussichten. Sowohl im Regionalbereich als auch im Mainline Bereich wurden Upgradings ausgeschrieben. Auf beiden Seiten konnten Karrierechancen für alle Mitarbeiter angeboten werden, die über das ursprünglich angenommene Szenario hinausgingen. So wurden den Kopiloten im Regionalbereich Upgradings auf der Dash Flotte oder aber Kopiloten Positionen auf der Langstreckenflotte angeboten. Für Kopiloten im Mainline Bereich standen Upgradings auf der Airbus Flotte zur Verfügung. Im Kabinenbereich gab es Ausschreibungen für die Funktion der Senior Flugbegleiter sowohl im Regional als auch im Mainline Bereich.

So konnten für den Großteil aller Piloten und Flugbegleiter die jeweils erwünschten Funktionen und Stationierungen erhalten bzw. sogar verbessert werden. Lediglich für rund 80 Kapitäne auf der Fokker Flotte würde sich eine ungewünschte Umschulung auf ein anderes Flugzeugmuster unter Erhalt des Kapitänsranges er-geben. Dies ergab sich aus der Ablöse der Fokker. Das entsprach zwar der Grundannahme der Karrieregruppe zum Ausgleich der Karriere Entwicklung der Vergangenheit, es wurde aber subjektiv unter den Betroffenen als ungerecht empfunden, da es die einzige Schulung entgegen der Schulungspräferenz darstellt.

1.4.10 Weiterentwicklung des Karrieremodells
Daher wurden im Juni 2016 Verhandlungen mit allen betroffenen Parteien aufgenommen mit dem Ziel, eine Weiterentwicklung des Karrieremodells voranzutreiben. Dieses sollte vor allem den Bedürfnissen der Fokker Kapitäne als auch dem besonders dynamischen Schulungs-Szenario Rechnung tragen. Letztendlich konnte eine Lösung gefunden werden, die eine gerechte Aufteilung der Karriereoptionen zwischen den am 30.6.2012 bei Austrian Airlines oder Tyrolean Airways angestellten Dienstnehmern sowie den ab 1.7.2012 angestellten Dienstnehmern sicherstellt. Der einvernehmliche Vorschlag wurde am 27.7.2016 in der Betriebsratssitzung mit den Stimmen der Betriebsratsmitglieder aller bereits am 30.6.2012 angestellten Dienstnehmergruppen bei lediglich einer Enthaltung angenommen.

Diese Weiterentwicklung des Karrieremodells steht unter der Bedingung, dass ab spätestens 31.12.2016 mindestens 42 Mainline-Flugzeuge (Punkt 62.2 OS-KV-2015), exklusive Embraer E195, bei Austrian Airlines eingesetzt und von bei Aus-trian Airlines beschäftigtem Bordpersonal bereedert werden. Trifft dies nicht (mehr) zu, ist bezüglich Sonderregelung Bombardier C-Series und Embraer E195 die Quote von 2:1 (Punkte 2.1.2 und 3.1.2) hinsichtlich der gesamten Flotte wie-derherzustellen.

Das neue Modell sieht eine Veränderung der Quote der Sonderregelung auf dem Embraer Flugzeug sowohl bei Kapitänen als auch bei Senior Flugbegleitern vor. Ab 1.9.2016 lautet die Quote für Neu- und Nachbesetzungen 0:1 OS:VO; es werden somit alle zukünftigen Positionen zuerst den VO-Piloten/Flugbegleitern angeboten. Daraus ergibt sich, dass der überwiegende Anteil der derzeit noch auf der Fokker fliegenden Kapitäne und sämtliche Regional-Senior-Flugbegleiter mit Homebase Wien eine Umschulung auf ein Embraer Flugzeug unter Beibehaltung der Kapitänsfunktion bzw. Seniorfunktion erhält. Im Gegensatz dazu werden jene OS-Piloten, die durch das neue Karrieremodell auf das Upgrading verzichten müssen, nur finanziell entschädigt.

Der Betriebsrat hat als Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung des Karrieremodells sämtliche relevanten Produktionszahlen, Prognosen und Flottenpläne bei der Geschäftsleitung angefordert, diese überprüft und die Fakten in die Überlegungen miteinbezogen. Aus der Vorausschau für das Jahr 2017 geht hervor, dass innerhalb der nächsten 18 Monate 95 Prozent aller gewünschten Karriereoptionen bei den Mitarbeitern der ehemaligen Tyrolean Dienstnehmergruppe erfüllt sein werden. Die ungewollte Rückstufung auf ein kleineres Flugzeugmuster ergibt sich für jene fünf Prozent unter anderem dadurch, dass 21 Fokker Flugzeuge durch 17 Embraer ersetzt werden. Doch auch bei jener Personengruppe sollte sich in der näheren Zukunft eine weitere Karriereoption auftun. Kein einziger Mitarbeiter wird durch das bisherige oder das künftige Karrieremodell einen finanziellen Nachteil erleiden – im Gegenteil, auch die rückgestuften Kapitäne werden finanziell bessergestellt. Insgesamt 105 Tyrolean Kapitäne (entspricht der maximalen Anzahl von Kapitänspositionen auf 17 Embraer Flugzeugen) sowie auch OS Copiloten, welche durch die Quotenänderung nun kein Upgrading mehr erhalten, werden finanziell entschädigt.

The new career model is fair, balanced and transparent. It was developed by employees of all employee groups already employed on June 30, 2012 and was approved by all groups in the works council. It not only balances interests, but also represents an economically sensible solution. This enables growth at Austrian Airlines, which in turn has a positive effect on the career opportunities of everyone. With the new career model, the works council, together with management and the social partners, has created a legally secure set of rules that forms the foundation for solid economic growth for Austrian Airlines and the Vienna location.

2. Changes to the SRKM-P

2.1 Change to the E195 quota (special regulations for filling the mainline PIC positions on the Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft types)

2.1.1 These special regulations apply exclusively to the actual fleet entry or management of a total of up to 20 aircraft of the Bombardier C-Series (CS100, CS300) and Embraer E195 aircraft types and will expire on April 30, 2022. They supersede the general regulations of the SRKM-P (in particular point 65.9.1) only in the aforementioned regulatory content regarding mainline PIC positions.

2.1.2 Mainline PIC positions on Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft are to be advertised within the seniority list “R” from 1 August 2016. 

The position will be filled from among the applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers from the seniority list “R”.

The course required for promotion must begin or the promotion must take place no later than twelve months after the end of the tendering process.

2.1.3 The filling of the position of Fleet Chief and any necessary retraining on the Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft types is not subject to the requirements of point 2.1.2, unless this would result in a change in seniority rank or a change in the area of ​​​​application associated with an upgrading.

2.1.4 This regulation, including the change in the quota in the course of the further development of the SRKM (see preamble), replaces point 70 OS-KV-2015, whereby points 70 and 71 OS-KV-2015 become invalid.

2.2 Freelancer

According to point 65.2 OS-KV-2015, new pilots are assigned to an aircraft type of seniority rank R1, R2 or M1 according to economic needs.

Irrespective of the regulation, freelancers can only be employed at other seniority levels for a maximum period of 18 months in agreement with the works council by means of a works agreement.

The works council must be provided with information on each freelancer regarding the duration of the assignment, qualifications, selection and payment. The employment of freelancers must be agreed with the works council in each individual case.

This regulation for freelancers will automatically expire on September 1, 2018.

3. Changes to the SRKM-K

3.1 Change to the E195 quota (special regulations for filling the Purser I positions on the Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft types)

3.1.1 These special regulations apply exclusively to the actual fleet entry or management of a total of up to 20 aircraft of the Bombardier C-Series (CS100, CS300) and Embraer E195 aircraft types and will expire on April 30, 2022. They supersede the general regulations of the SRKM-K (in particular point 77.9.1 OS-KV-2015) only in the aforementioned regulatory content regarding Mainline Purser I positions.

3.1.2 Purser I positions on Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft are to be advertised within the seniority list “R” from 1 August 2016. 

The Purser I positions on the Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft types are filled upon qualification (point 74.5 OS-KV-2015) within the seniority list “R” from the group of applicants in ascending order of seniority numbers.

The course required for promotion must begin or the promotion must take place no later than twelve months after the end of the tendering process.

3.1.3 Purser I on Bombardier C-Series or Embraer E195 aircraft shall be assigned to seniority rank SR if they are VO or NEW flight attendants, and to seniority rank SM if they are OS flight attendants.

3.1.4 This regulation, including the change in the quota in the course of the further development of the SRKM (see preamble), replaces point 82 OS-KV-2015, whereby points 82 and 84 OS-KV-2015 become invalid.

4. Increase in actual and table salaries [14]

The flight attendants’ salary tables will be increased as follows on 1 January 2017:

In the table under item 56.3.1. (“Flight attendants” and “Flight attendants new to the workforce from December 1, 2014”), the total salary is increased by €10.00 gross. The table columns for basic salary and flight allowance are adjusted accordingly.

The increase in total remuneration in the salary tables will increase the gross monthly salaries of employees. Any absorbable allowances will be reduced by the same amount.

In any case, the actual collective agreement salaries or the individual collective agreement minimum gross monthly salaries for flight attendants will be increased by €5.00 gross as of January 1, 2017, in accordance with point 86.2.5.

[14] Soweit in Punkt 4 des Zusatzprotokolls Nr. 2 dieses Kollektivvertrages die Bezeichnung „Flugbegleiter“ verwendet wird, ist die Bezeichnung so zu verstehen, wie sie im Kollektivvertrag in der Fassung der Rev.04 (in Kraft bis 30. April 2018) gegolten hat.
Verweise auf Kollektivvertragspunkte beziehen sich ebenfalls auf den Kollektivvertrag in der Fassung der Rev.04.

5. Geltung

Die Punkte 2 und 3 stehen unter der Bedingung, dass ab spätestens 31.12.2016 mindestens 42 Mainline-Flugzeuge (Punkt 62.2 OS-KV-2015), exklusive Embraer E195, bei Austrian Airlines eingesetzt und von bei Austrian Airlines beschäftigtem Bordpersonal bereedert werden.

Trifft dies nicht (mehr) zu, sind sodann abweichend zu den Punkten 2.1.2 und 3.1.2 Mainline-PIC-Positionen respektive Purser I-Positionen auf Flugzeugen der Flugzeugtypen Bombardier C-Series oder Embraer E195 nicht mehr innerhalb der Senioritätsliste „R“, sondern innerhalb der Senioritätsliste „M“ auszuschreiben. 

Wären durch eine Unterschreitung der o.a. mindestens 42 Mainline-Flugzeuge, exklusive Embraer E195, Piloten der Senioritätsränge M3 oder M4 oder Flugbegleiter des Senioritätsranges PM von einem Downgrading betroffen, sind den Betroffenen Alternativen in den Senioritätsrängen M3 oder M4, respektive PM, zu gewähren.


Zusatzprotokoll Nr. 3 zum Kollektivvertrag für das Bordpersonal

1 Vereinbarung der gehaltlichen Veränderungen bis 30.4.2022

Die Kollektivvertragsparteien halten vereinbarungsgemäß fest, dass die hier vereinbarten Index- bzw. Inflationsanpassungen abschließend sind und für die Kalenderjahre 2018 bis inklusive 2022 keine weiteren Verhandlungen über Index- bzw. Inflationsthemen geführt werden. Allfällige Verhandlungen werden erst wieder über Index- bzw. Inflationsanpassungen, welche ab 01.05.2022 wirksam sind, geführt.

2 Inflationsanpassung

Die Kollektivvertragsparteien vereinbaren für die Zeit von 1.5.2018 bis 30.4.2022 folgende, jeweils zweistufige, gehaltliche Veränderungen:

2.1 Für die Zeit von 1.5.2018 bis 30.4.2019:

Erhöhung der Ist-Gehälter:
Im ersten Schritt werden die individuellen Ist-Gehälter, die sich aus den jeweiligen Gesamtbezügen gemäß Punkt 56 zuzüglich allfälliger aufsaugbarer Zulagen ergeben, mit 1.5.2018 um 5,5 % erhöht.

Erhöhung der Tabellengehälter:
In einem weiteren Schritt wird das in Schritt 1 errechnete neue Ist-Gehalt mit dem jeweils zur Anwendung kommenden Tabellengehalt (Punkt 56, Tabelle(n) gültig ab 1.5.2018) verglichen. Ist das Tabellengehalt niedriger als das in Schritt 1 erhöhte Ist-Gehalt, so ist die sich daraus ergebene Differenz die neue aufsaugbare Zulage.

Davon unberührt bleiben die Funktionszulagen gemäß Punkt 56.4.

2.2 Für die Zeit von 1.5.2019 bis 30.4.2020:

Erhöhung der Ist-Gehälter:
Die individuellen Ist-Gehälter, die sich aus den jeweiligen Gesamtbezügen gemäß Punkt 56 zuzüglich allfälliger aufsaugbarer Zulagen ergeben, werden mit 1.5.2019 um 2,5 % erhöht. 

Erhöhung der Tabellengehälter:
In einem weiteren Schritt wird das in Schritt 1 errechnete neue Ist-Gehalt mit dem jeweils zur Anwendung kommenden Tabellengehalt (Punkt 56, Tabelle(n) gültig ab 1.5.2019) verglichen. Ist das Tabellengehalt niedriger als das in Schritt 1 erhöhte Ist-Gehalt, so ist die sich daraus ergebene Differenz die neue aufsaugbare Zulage.

Davon unberührt bleiben die Funktionszulagen gemäß Punkt 56.4.

2.3 For the period from 1 May 2020 to 30 April 2021:

Increase in actual salaries:
The individual actual salaries, which result from the respective total remuneration according to point 56 plus any absorbable allowances, will be increased by 1.83% as of May 1, 2020. 

Increase in the table salaries:
In a further step, the new actual salary calculated in step 1 is compared with the applicable table salary (point 56, table(s) valid from May 1, 2020). If the table salary is lower than the actual salary increased in step 1, the resulting difference is the new absorbable allowance.

The functional allowances pursuant to point 56.4 remain unaffected.

2.4 For the period from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022:

Increase in actual salaries:
The individual actual salaries, which result from the respective total remuneration in accordance with point 56 plus any absorbable allowances, will be increased by 1.4% as of May 1, 2021. If the percentage change in the annual CPI for 2020 compared to the annual CPI for 2019 is more than 2%, the increase will be made by the actual inflation in 2020 minus 0.6 percentage points.

Increase in the table salaries:
In a further step, the salary tables according to point 56 of 2020 are increased by the same percentage as the actual salaries in step 1. The new actual salary calculated in step 1 is then compared with the applicable table salary (the salary table valid from May 1, 2021 will be published at the beginning of 2021). If the table salary is lower than the actual salary increased in step 1, the resulting difference is the new absorbable allowance.

The functional allowances pursuant to point 56.4 remain unaffected.

3 Ratio of inflation adjustments to advancements 

If both an inflation adjustment and the entitlement to a promotion coincide on a reference date, the inflation adjustment is carried out in the first step and the promotion in the second step.

4 Obligation to negotiate

The collective bargaining partners and the works agreement parties undertake to enter into negotiations with the aim of enabling an incentivized increase in the performance obligation of part-time employees exceeding three calendar months in the event of additional personnel requirements.   

Furthermore, the collective bargaining partners and the works agreement parties undertake to enter into negotiations with the aim of developing a system for compensating for overtime that is accessible to all employees and that, at the employee's request and taking operational requirements into account, allows the use of time off as compensation instead of compensation for overtime in accordance with point 42. (MLZA - point 4.3 line 37).
