STIPULATION 

Plaintiffs Julia Bernstein, et al. (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Virgin America Inc. 

(“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), through their counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have advanced meal period and rest break claims; 

WHEREAS, Defendant represents that it has sought cell phone records and credit card 

statements from Plaintiffs and absent class members to demonstrate that class members are 

generally able to engage in non-work activities at some point during their duty period, such as 

making personal calls, sending personal text messages, and buying and/or eating snacks or meals 

for periods of time up to and exceeding thirty minutes; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have objected to responding to Defendant’s discovery requests on 

the grounds that Plaintiffs’ meal period and rest break claims are solely predicated on Plaintiffs’ 

claim that Defendant has a policy requiring InFlight Team Members (“ITMs”) to remain on duty 

throughout their duty period (and thus were not relieved of “all duty” for any meal periods and 

rest breaks they were able to take), which is measured from one hour before the scheduled block 

out of their first scheduled flight of the day until fifteen minutes after the block in of their last 

scheduled flight of the day; 

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing, the parties hereby stipulate that ITMs are at 

times able to engage in non-work activities at some point during their duty periods, such as 

making personal calls, sending personal text messages, and buying and/or eating snacks or meals.
