activity on behalf of the Union.









			
	Section 3.	 	It is understood, whenever in this Agreement, Pilots or jobs
are referred to in the male gender, it shall be recognized as
referring to both male and female Pilots. The provisions of
this Agreement apply to all Pilots regardless of sex, color,
race, creed, age, religion, national origin, handicapped or
veteran status or other protected status in accordance with
applicable national or state law.








ARTICLE 2




RECOGNITION AND REPRESENTATION





			
	Section 1.	 	This Agreement is made and entered into in accordance with
the provisions of Title II of the Railway Labor Act, as
amended, by and between Offshore Logistics, Inc. (the
“Company”) and the Office and Professional Employees
International Union (the “Union”) representing employees
composed of the craft or class of Pilots as certified by
the National Mediation Board in Case Number R-6517, August
6, 1997.









	 	A.	 	The Company hereby recognizes the Union as the sole collective
bargaining agent and authorized representative for those employees
described in Section 1 above, to represent them and, in their behalf,
to negotiate and conclude agreements with the Company as to hours of
work, wages, and other conditions of employment in accordance with the
provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended.






			
	Section 2.	 	The term Pilot as used in this Agreement means Pilots (PIC)
and/or Co-Pilots (SIC) covered by this Agreement and for whom
the Union is the recognized collective bargaining
representative. Pilot trainees are Pilots within the meaning of
Section 1 of this Article.









			
	Section 3.	 	This Agreement covers all revenue and all known and recurring

Page 4 of 62





			
	Section 4.     A.	 	Pilots covered by this Agreement shall be governed by
all reasonable Company rules, regulations and orders
previously or hereafter issued by proper authorities
of the Company which are not in conflict with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to
deciding to implement new rules, regulations or
orders, or to change any existing rules, regulations
or orders, the Company will meet and confer with the
Union.









	 	B.	 	For the purpose of familiarizing new hires with existing Company rules
and regulations, the Company will present and discuss those rules and
regulations with each new hire as a part of his initial Company
orientation.






			
	Section 5.	 	If the Union considers the rule to be unreasonable, it will
have the right to file a written grievance challenging such
rule prior to the implementation by the Company. Grievances
properly filed in this respect will be subject to the normal
Grievance and System Board of Adjustment procedures as set
forth in Article 32 and Article 33 of this Agreement.









			
	Section 6.	 	The Company may engage in Subcontracted Revenue Flying under
the following circumstances: Subcontracted Revenue Flying may
be engaged in for periods not to exceed one hundred and eighty
(180) days per occurrence during the term of this Agreement

accomplish the needs of the service of the Company, (ii) the
Company determines that it does not have sufficient or
appropriate aircraft, or sufficient or appropriately trained
Pilots, available to perform the Subcontracted Revenue Flying,
and (iii) the Company does not furlough any Pilot as a direct
result of such engagement in Subcontracted Revenue Flying. It
is understood and agreed that nothing in this paragraph will
prevent the Company from furloughing Pilots or severing the
employment relationship with Pilots for economic reasons
independent of or unrelated to its engagement in Subcontracted
Revenue Flying.









			
	Section 7.	 	Notwithstanding Section 6 above, in the event the Company
engages in Subcontracted Revenue Flying solely due to
circumstances over which the Company does not have control, it
may engage in the Subcontracted Revenue Flying for a time not
to exceed the duration of the circumstance beyond the Company’s
control or six (6) months, whichever is less. Circumstances
beyond the Company’s control shall be limited to: act of
nature, a strike affecting the Company’s business, grounding of
a substantial number of the Company’s aircraft by a government
agency or court; loss or destruction of the Company’s aircraft;
war emergency; or owner’s or manufacturer’s delay in the
delivery of aircraft scheduled for delivery.








ARTICLE 3




STATUS OF AGREEMENT





			
	Section 1.	 	It is fully understood and agreed that this Agreement
supercedes any and all Agreements now existing or
previously executed between the Company and any other
Union, or individual, affecting the class or craft of
employees covered by this Agreement.









			
	Section 2.	 	The Company shall give notice of the existence of this
Agreement, and its full terms, to any entity which engages in a
possible transaction.









			
	Section 3.	 	Mergers









	 	A.	 	In the event of a complete merger between the Company and another
helicopter company (i.e., the combination of all or substantially all
the assets of the two carriers) where the surviving carrier decides to
integrate the pre-merger operations, the following procedures will
apply: (1) if the Company is the surviving carrier, the Company will
integrate the two Pilot groups in accordance with OPEIU Merger Policy
if both groups are OPEIU-represented, and in accordance with Sections
3 and 13 of the Allegheny Mohawk LPPs if Pilots of the Company’s
merger partner are not represented by OPEIU, and (2) if the Company is
not the surviving carrier, the Company will make reasonable efforts to
have the surviving carrier integrate the two Pilot groups in the same
manner as stated in (1) of this paragraph.
	 
	 	B.	 	In the event the Company acquires all or substantially all of the
assets or equity of another air carrier, or another air carrier
acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity of the
Company, the Company will meet promptly with the Union to negotiate a
possible “Fence Agreement” to be in effect during the




 









 






Page 5 of 62



	 	 	 	period, if any,
the two carriers are operated separately without integration of the
Pilot work force. These discussions shall not be pursuant to Section 6
of the Railway Labor Act, and reaching an agreement with the Union
shall not be a prerequisite for closing, or any other aspect of the
transaction or operations pursuant to the transaction.






			
	Section 4.	 	Management Rights









	 	A.	 	The Union recognizes that the management of the business of the
Company and the direction of the working force are vested exclusively
with the employer, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
	 
	 	B.	 	The management functions shall not be used for the purpose of
discrimination against any Pilot because of Union activity or for the
purpose of evading any of the provisions of this Agreement.
	 
	 	C.	 	Except as restricted by the express terms of this Agreement, the
Company shall retain all rights to manage and operate its business and
work force, including but not limited to the right to sell or
discontinue all or part of the business; to sell or lease aircraft or
facilities; to determine where and when to operate scheduled or
unscheduled flights; to determine its marketing methods and
strategies; and to enter into affiliation or marketing agreements with
other carriers; to invest (including equity investments) in other
business entities including, without limitation, other helicopter
carriers; and to determine the type of aircraft it will utilize.
	 
	 	D.	 	The parties agree that any past practices established prior to the
date of this Agreement shall not create any contractual or legal
obligation to continue such practices following the effective date of
this Agreement.
	 
	 	E.	 	The waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any breach of this
Agreement by either party during the term of the Agreement shall not
constitute a precedent for the future waiver of any breach or
provision.





ARTICLE 4




PILOT STATUS





			
	Section 1.	 	Each newly hired Pilot shall be on probation for a period
which normally will not exceed six (6) months of
cumulative service. The probationary period will begin on
the date a Pilot enters training. During this time, a
Pilot will become acquainted with his job duties, fellow
Pilots and Company facilities while being evaluated by his
supervisor. Evaluation of probationary period job
performance is based on a number of factors including
attitude, attendance, competence, and overall work
performance. A supervisor who requires additional time to
evaluate a Pilot’s suitability for a position may extend
the probationary period for an additional ninety (90) days
of cumulative active service.









			
	Section 2.	 	A newly employed Pilot shall be entitled to all the rights and
benefits of any other Pilot under the terms of this Agreement,
except that the termination of a Pilot’s employment during his
probationary period, will not be subject to the grievance
procedures and System Board of Adjustment as set forth in this
Agreement. After completing the probationary period, such Pilot
shall be considered a non-probationary Pilot.









			
	Section 3.	 	Once each month, the Company will provide the Union office with
a listing of Pilots who have been hired, terminated,
transferred and/or granted a military leave of absence during
the prior month. This listing will include the home address of
these Pilots.








ARTICLE 5




SENIORITY





			
	Section 1.	 	Seniority of a Pilot shall begin on the date a Pilot enters the Company’s training program.









			
	Section 2.	 	There shall be two (2) types of seniority, Company seniority and Bidding seniority.








 









 






Page 6 of 62





	 	A.	 	Company Seniority — Company Seniority shall be defined as a Pilot’s
length of service with the Company, regardless of location, and shall
govern pay rates, and accrual or granting of paid days off pursuant to
Article 12 of this Agreement. Company Seniority shall be adjusted for
leaves of absence and reductions in force as provided for in Articles
7 and 11 of this Agreement.
	 
	 	B.	 	Bidding Seniority — Bidding Seniority shall be defined as a Pilot’s
length of service with the Company, adjusted for leaves of absence as
provided for in Article 5, Section 4, and Article 11 of this
Agreement. Bidding Seniority shall govern all Pilots covered by this
Agreement in bidding for job assignments and vacancies, layoffs,
reemployment after layoff, demotions due to a reduction in force, and
awarding of full week vacation periods, as provided for in this
Agreement.






			
	Section 3.	 	In the Gulf of Mexico, a Pilot who is promoted to a non-flying
or supervisory position shall continue to accrue Company and
bidding seniority for one (1) year. Thereafter, such Pilot
shall continue to accrue Company Seniority and retain his
Bidding Seniority. In the Alaska operation, a pilot who is
promoted to a non-flying or supervisory position shall continue
to accrue Company and Bidding seniority. If said Pilot returns
to flying duty, it shall be in accordance with his Company and
Bidding seniority. In the event there is no vacancy, he shall
be carried as an overage until the Company adjusts its staffing
levels. If a Pilot is terminated while in a supervisory or
non-flying position, such Pilot shall have no rights under this
Agreement.









			
	Section 4.	 	A Pilot elected or appointed to a full-time position with the
Union shall retain and accrue Company and bidding seniority in
their immediate former classification.









			
	Section 5.	 	A Pilot will lose his seniority rights and his name will be
removed from the seniority list under the following conditions:









	 	A.	 	Resignation or retirement;
	 
	 	B.	 	Discharge for just cause;
	 
	 	C.	 	In the Gulf of Mexico, absent from work for forty-eight (48)
consecutive hours without proper notification to the Director of
Operations or his designee of the reason, unless the employee is
physically incapable of providing the Company with the proper
notification of his absence;
	 
	 	D.	 	Failure to return to work from an authorized leave of absence in the
time provided for by the Company, giving a false reason for obtaining
a leave of absence or accepting gainful employment while on a leave of
absence, when the employment was not specifically authorized;
	 
	 	E.	 	Failure to inform the designated Company representative in person or
by certified mail of his intention to return to work as provided for
in Article 7, Section 5(a);
	 
	 	F.	 	Failure to return to work on or before a date specified in the notice
of recall from the designated Company representative after a layoff as
provided for in Article 7, Section 5.b.;
	 
	 	G.	 	A Pilot who is furloughed and who is not recalled to service with the
Company within three (3) years from the date of furlough.






			
	Section 6.	 	Disputes arising over seniority shall be handled in accordance
with Article 32 and Article 33 of this Agreement.








ARTICLE 6




SENIORITY ROSTER





			
	Section 1.	 	The Company will post a seniority roster on bulletin
boards at all bases, listing the names of its Pilots, date
of hire, station and base as reflected by its records.
Copies of the seniority roster will be furnished to the
Union.









			
	Section 2.	 	When two or more Pilots are employed on the same date, they
shall be placed on the seniority roster according to the last
four digits of each new-hire’s social security number. If two
individuals have the same last four digits









 









 








Page 7 of 62





in their social
security number, the digit immediately preceding the last four
digits will be used to determine the lowest number. The Pilot
with the lowest last four digits will be awarded the most
senior position in the class. The balance of the class will be
awarded seniority positions in order of their numbers, with the
highest social security number receiving the lowest seniority.




			
	Section 3.	 	The Company agrees to update the seniority roster once each
month, beginning with the effective date of this Agreement with
a copy to the Union. A Pilot shall have a period of thirty (30)
days after the posting of the seniority roster to protest to
the Company any omission or incorrect posting affecting his
seniority. Pilots on vacation, leave of absence or furlough
shall be permitted thirty (30) days after their return to duty
to make any protest concerning his seniority. Once the thirty
(30) day period has expired without a protest, a Pilot’s
posting will be considered correct and shall not be subject to
further protest, unless the omission or incorrect posting was
the result of a clerical error on the part of the Company.








ARTICLE 7




REDUCTIONS IN WORKFORCE





			
	Section 1.     A.	 	When it becomes necessary to reduce the
workforce, a Pilot’s seniority, pursuant to
Article 5 of this Agreement, shall govern the
layoff. Pilots with the least seniority at a
location shall be laid off first. For the
purposes of this Article, there shall be two
locations: the Gulf of Mexico operation and the
Alaska operation. The Company shall give at least
fourteen (14) days notice of an impending layoff
at the affected location, or two (2) weeks pay in
lieu thereof. The Company shall notify the Union
in advance of the impending reductions.









	 	B.	 	The fourteen (14) day notice or pay in lieu thereof may be waived by
the Company if the reduction in force is caused by circumstances
beyond the control of the Company. Examples of this would include a
war or foreign invasion, an act of God/natural disaster, an official
state of emergency, a strike affecting the Company’s business, a work
stoppage, a government grounding of aircraft, the revocation of
operating certificate(s), or an unannounced cancellation of contract
flying without proper notice.






			
	Section 2.	 	Pilots will be recalled from furlough in seniority order, with
the most senior laid-off Pilot being recalled first: provided,
however, that no pilot will be returned to work without a
current medical certificate (as referred to in Article 16
Section 4.) The Company will make reasonable efforts to place
the recalled Pilot in his former position or one of equal
status.









			
	Section 3.	 	Pilots shall continue to accrue Bidding Seniority while on
furlough. He shall not accrue Company Seniority while on a
furlough of more than thirty (30) days duration.









			
	Section 4.	 	Laid off Pilots are required to file their proper address and
telephone number(s) with the Director of Operations at the time
of the lay off and will notify the Company of any address
changes promptly.









			
	Section 5.	 	Laid off Pilots shall be notified of a recall by telephone, or
certified mail, to the most recent telephone number and address
provided by the Pilot. Notification by telephone must be
accomplished by positive telephone contact with the Pilot and
the call must be followed up with official notification by
certified mail. The date of recall notification shall be the
earlier of the date of positive telephone contact with the
pilot or the date on which the recall letter was mailed.
Notices sent to the last address of record shall be considered
conclusive evidence of notice to the Pilot.









	 	A.	 	Each Pilot accepting recall shall answer his recall notice no later
than five (5) days after receipt of such notice in person or by
certified mail. Pilots are strongly encouraged to notify the Company
prior to the five (5) day period of his acceptance of the recall.
	 
	 	B.	 	A laid off Pilot will not be allowed more than fifteen (15) days after
the date of recall notification to report to duty from layoff. Nothing
shall prevent the Company from beginning recall classes prior to the
end of the fifteen (15) day period if a sufficient number of Pilots
agree to return from recall early.
	 
	 	C.	 	Pilots who fail to respond to a recall notice within the time limits
set forth above, Pilots who refuse recall, or Pilots who reject a
recall notice shall forfeit all recall rights and have his name
stricken from the




 









 






Page 8 of 62



	 	 	 	 seniority list.
	 
	 	D.	 	Seniority and recall rights shall terminate if a laid off Pilot is not
recalled within thirty-six (36) months from the commencement of his
layoff.





ARTICLE 8

	I.	 	PERMANENT VACANCIES






			
	Section 1.     A.	 	Pilots working in the Alaska operation shall not be
displaced by either active or furloughed Pilots
working in the Gulf of Mexico operation. Pilots
working in the Gulf of Mexico operation shall not be
displaced by either active or furloughed Pilots
working in the Alaska operation.









	 	B.	 	When a job or crew position vacancy occurs on a full-time basis, or
when a new job or crew position is created, the vacancy will be posted
at all locations within seven (7) days after the vacancy occurs. The
notice shall provide as much information as is available regarding the
vacant position, including the job, location, aircraft and customer
specific qualifications and closing date for bid application.






			
	Section 2.	 	Bidding Procedures









	 	A.	 	Pilots will be given fourteen (14) calendar days from the initial
posting to bid on any vacant position. The fourteen (14) days shall
commence with the time the notice is faxed to all bases.
	 
	 	B.	 	The Company will make the awards within five (5) calendar days after
the bidding has closed, not including Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays.
	 
	 	C.	 	The senior qualified Pilot, as defined in Section 2, Paragraph G, of
this Article that bids on a vacancy shall be awarded the job.
	 
	 	D.	 	The Company reserves the right to remove a Pilot from an awarded job
based on a customer complaint, in which case the Company will make
reasonable efforts to obtain the customer’s complaint in writing. A
copy of such written complaint shall be provided to the Pilot and to
the Union.
	 
	 	E.	 	A Pilot responding to more than one (1) vacancy shall indicate his
order of preference on the bid and shall be awarded his first
preference.
	 
	 	F.	 	A Pilot on vacation, sick leave, or leave of absence for the entire
period that bids are posted shall have an additional seven (7) days to
bid on the vacancy.
	 
	 	G.	 	Definition Of Qualified
	 
	 	1.	 	The term qualified as used in this Article and Agreement means that a
Pilot has been trained in an aircraft model or holds the necessary
Pilot License and endorsements to be trained by the Company in that
aircraft model.
	 
	 	2.	 	A Pilot will be considered qualified in an aircraft model although he
may not be “current” as per FAR 135.293(b), 135.299, etc. If that
Pilot is otherwise qualified and can become current within a
reasonable amount of time, the Company will provide training, in
accordance with Article 17.
	 
	 	H.	 	In the event no bid is received on a posted vacancy and pool Pilot(s)
exist, such vacancies will be filled by the pool Pilots in reverse
seniority order. A pool Pilot is a Pilot who has not been awarded to a
contract on a full-time basis.






			
	Section 3.	 	After a Pilot has been awarded a bid job and has completed the
necessary training, the Company will not allow any other Pilot
to temporarily perform work on that job, provided the bid Pilot
is available for work during his









 









 






Page 9 of 62





normal hitch. If an immediate
operational requirement exists, an available qualified Pilot
may be removed from his awarded job, in reverse seniority
order, to fulfill such requirement for as short a period as
possible, not to exceed three (3) days. In such cases, the
Pilot being removed from his position will be pay protected
until such time as he has returned to his original job.




			
	Section 4.	 	A Pilot may bid on any posted position, provided that once he
has been awarded a vacancy, the Pilot shall be ineligible to
bid on another vacancy for six (6) months from the date of
transfer. Date of transfer is defined as the first date a Pilot
performs in revenue service at his new job and/or base. The
following exceptions apply to the six (6) month rule:









	 	A.	 	A Pilot is being promoted from VFR to SIC, VFR to PIC, or SIC to PIC,
or in any case where an increase in pay and/or supplemental pay will
result from the new assignment.
	 
	 	B.	 	Once every two (2) calendar years, a Pilot may request and shall be
granted an exemption from the six (6) month rule.






			
	Section 5.	 	During the time necessary to in-house train the Pilot who is to
regularly fill a new job or crew position, the Company may fill
the vacancy on a temporary basis not to exceed forty-five (45)
days. Training at third party training facilities will be
conducted as soon as possible.









			
	Section 6.	 	The Company may elect, based on operational needs, to withhold
a Pilot who has successfully bid for a vacancy from entering
training for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) days unless
mutually agreed otherwise by the Company and the Pilot. If a
Pilot is withheld, he will be compensated at the base salary he
would have been entitled to if he had completed training and
the higher base salary will commence when he was originally
scheduled to enter training.









			
	Section 7.	 	Pilots who have reached the IFR level may not bid downward
without the authorization of the Director of Operations.

	Section 1.	 	Temporary vacancies are positions created to fill needs for
ninety (90) consecutive days or less.









			
	Section 2.	 	Temporary vacancies shall be filled by offering the positions
to pool Pilots in seniority order. If no pool Pilot accepts the
opening, the job will be assigned to a pool Pilot in reverse
seniority order. If there are no pool Pilots, the Company shall
assign a Workover. If no Workover Pilots are available, the
Company shall assign the job in reverse seniority order.









			
	Section 3.	 	Pilots assigned to temporary vacancies shall be returned to
their former position, if it still exists, upon completion of
the temporary assignment.









			
	Section 4.	 	A Pilot assigned to a temporary vacancy with a higher salary
than his current salary will receive such pay for the duration
of the temporary assignment.









			
	Section 5.	 	A Pilot assigned to a temporary vacancy pursuant to II, Section
3 will be pay protected in accordance with the provisions of
this Article.









	III.	 	GENERAL






			
	Section 1.	 	A Pilot will not be considered qualified for an IFR PIC job
unless he has completed six (6) months as an IFR SIC with Air
Logistics and is recommended by either an IFR Line Captain or
an IFR Check Airman, and successfully completes an IFR flight
and classroom check by a Check Airman.









			
	Section 2.	 	When operational needs dictate the need for additional IFR PIC crew positions:









	 	A.	 	Any Pilot who has completed the requirements of III, Section 1, may
request and shall, within a reasonable amount of time, be given an IFR
PIC Training Ride by a Check Airman. Following this training ride, the
Check Airman may recommend the Pilot for an IFR PIC Check Ride.




 









 






Page 10 of 62

Check Ride, the Company shall make that ride available within a reasonable
amount of time.






	IV.	 	PILOT IOE






			
	Section 1.	 	A Pilot under initial operating experience (IOE) is a newly
hired Pilot who is assigned as the second Pilot to an aircraft
which is normally operated by one Pilot. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the Company from employing Pilot IOEs
and placing such pilots in IOE seats on aircraft normally
operated by a single Pilot.

	 	A.	 	A Line Training Captain is a Company designated flight instructor to
whom a Pilot under IOE is assigned.
	 
	 	B.	 	The Company may assign a Pilot to become a Line Training Captain on

event such a Pilot decides he no longer wishes to be a Line Training
Captain, he will be permitted to remain on his existing job.
	 
	 	C.	 	Line Training Captains shall be compensated in accordance with Article 22.





ARTICLE 9

during the following year may submit a vacation request form for a
one-hitch vacation not to exceed seven (7) days (except that eligible
Pilots on a 14/14 schedule may request a full hitch vacation). The

submitting a vacation request form will be treated as not desiring
this first one-hitch vacation.
	 
	 	B.	 	By October 15 of each year, the Company will publish a list of

Page 15 of 62



	 	C.	 	On or before November 15 of each year, all eligible Pilots who are not
granted a one-hitch vacation may resubmit a vacation request form,
listing up to five (5) alternate choices, for a one-hitch vacation for
any week not filled in accordance with I, Section 2A above.
	 
	 	D.	 	By November 25 of each year, the Company will publish a revised
vacation schedule including all vacation requests granted, based on
the criteria listed in I, Section 2A and B above.
	 
	 	E.	 	The Company will contact Pilots who, after completing the steps
described in Sections 1 through 4 above, have been unable to schedule
a one-hitch vacation, to discuss an acceptable time for the vacation
in a week not filled in accordance with I, Section 2 A-D above.






			
	Section 3.	 	Second One-Hitch Vacation Scheduling









	 	A.	 	On or before December 1 of each year, all Pilots who are eligible for
a second week of vacation during the following year may submit a
second vacation request form for a second one-hitch vacation not to
exceed seven (7) days. The form shall list up to five (5) choices for
a second week of vacation during any week not already filled. Any

	 	D.	 	The Company will contact Pilots who, after completing the steps in
Sections 1 through 3 above, have been unable to schedule a second
one-hitch vacation, to discuss an acceptable time for the vacation.
	 
	 	E.	 	The Company will make available a sufficient number of weekly vacation
slots each calendar year to insure that eligible Pilots will be
offered their one-hitch and second hitch vacations; provided that a
substantial change in the number of pilots employed by the Company
will trigger a reevaluation of scheduled vacations to meet operational
needs. The Company will formulate the number of yearly full hitch
vacation slots by dividing the total number of anticipated vacation
hitches for the year by 52.






			
	Section 4.	 	Day-at-a-Time Vacations









	 	A.	 	All Pilots who have accrued vacation may request a one-day (or several
days) vacation at any time. Such requests will be granted on a
first-come, first serve basis, consistent with operational needs.
Operational needs permitting, the Company will make available to
eligible Pilots such vacations up to three (3) consecutive days, but
may grant up to seven (7) consecutive days. Requests for day-at-a-time
vacations in November and December should be submitted no later than
November 1; however, a request may be submitted at any time.
	 
	 	B.	 	In the event a Pilot voluntarily leaves the Company, he will be paid
for his accrued vacation days, provided he has given the Company two
(2) weeks notice of his departure.






			
	Section 5.	 	Vacation Cancellation

previously approved one-hitch vacations.
	 
	 	B.	 	When a one-hitch vacation is cancelled, the Pilot and the Company
shall attempt to find a mutually agreeable substitute block during the
current year. A Pilot whose vacation has been involuntarily cancelled,
and cannot be rescheduled, shall receive one hundred and fifty percent
(150%) compensation for that hitch.
	 
	 	C.	 	In the event the Company cancels a scheduled one-hitch vacation, all
non-refundable vacation deposits




 









 





Page 16 of 62

fees, or any other pre-paid expenses associated with the cancelled
vacation. In order to receive reimbursement, the Pilot shall provide
the Company with proof of the expense.
	 
	 	D.	 	In the event it becomes necessary to cancel scheduled vacations,
cancellations shall first be offered to volunteers in seniority order.

vacations shall be involuntarily cancelled in inverse seniority order.
	 
	 	E.	 	Pilots returning from leave of absence who are unable to participate
in the vacation request and approval process described above will

on the payroll prior to the fifteenth (15th) of the month.
New hire Pilots are not eligible to take scheduled vacation days
during their probationary period. The Company shall place three (3)
days into a Pilot’s Sick Time Off Bank (STO) upon his successful
completion of his probationary period. At the end of his first year of
employment, an additional four (4) days shall be placed in his bank.
	 
	 	B.	 	A Pilot may use his current year’s allotment of vacation days in
advance of time earned, but if a Pilot leaves the Company or is
terminated before it is earned, any such time will be deducted from
his final paycheck. Vacation days from the next year’s vacation
allotment may not be advanced to a Pilot for use in the current year.






	II.	 	 SICK TIME (STO)






			
	Section 1.	 	Accrual









	 	A.	 	The number of sick days accrued each year is dependent on a Pilot’s
years of active service with the Company in accordance with the
schedule listed in I, Section 1. A Pilot may accrue a maximum of
ninety seven (97) days sick leave, except that any Pilot who has
greater than this maximum at the time this Agreement is executed shall
be grandfathered with his accrued sick days and will not accrue any
additional sick days until such time as his total sick days drops
below the ninety seven (97) day maximum. Within ninety (90) days after

for any sick days in excess of ninety (90) days at 100% of his
applicable daily rate.
	 
	 	B.	 	Pilots must have at least seven (7) days in the STO Bank at the

Bank are required to set aside the appropriate number of vacation days
to satisfy the STO Bank minimum.






			
	Section 2.	 	Miscellenous









	 	A.	 	The Company reserves the right to require a medical excuse for
absences due to sickness. To the extent the Company requires a medical
examination not covered by insurance, it shall be paid for by the
Company, provided the Pilot submits receipts for reimbursement in a
timely manner.
	 
	 	B.	 	Once the STO Bank is exhausted, a Pilot may use his remaining unused
vacation days for sickness or injury off the job.






	III.	 	 PAYMENTS AND REIMBURSEMENT






			
	Section 1.	 	Vacation/Sick Time Off Audit









	 	A.	 	The Company shall track the number of vacation and sick days, both
taken and remaining, in the Pilot’s Vacation/Sick Time Off Banks and
shall make this information to the pilot on request during normal
working hours.




 









 





Page 17 of 62



	 	B.	 	A Pilot will be paid for his unused vacation days at the end of each
year, unless the Pilot notifies the Company no later than November 30
of the calendar year that he wishes to place his unused vacation days
into the STO bank.

a Pilot’s applicable daily rate.






			
	Section 2.	 	Separation of Employment









	 	A.	 	If a Pilot voluntarily leaves the Company, he will be paid for his
accrued vacation days at the rate of one hundred (100) percent,
provided he has given the Company two (2) weeks notice of his
departure.
	 
	 	B.	 	Upon normal retirement from the Company (defined as reaching age 62),
or when declared medically retired by the Company, a Pilot will be
paid his accrued vacation.






	IV.	 	 GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS






			
	Section 1.	 	Personal Days and Emergency Days Off









	 	A.	 	While on hitch, a Pilot may request a personal day off for
unscheduled, personal reasons. Such requests will be given reasonable
consideration by the Company and granted if operationally feasible.
	 
	 	B.	 	Personal days will be charged against the Pilot’s Vacation Bank.
	 
	 	C.	 	Personal days must be requested at least twelve (12) hours in advance.






	V.	 	 SWAP PROGRAM 






	 	A.	 	The Company will maintain a Pilot SWAP system which allows Pilots to
swap days or hitches. Under this system, the swap must be between two
Pilots who are qualified to fly the job to be swapped. The Company
will permit Pilots to use Company mail and fax machines to administer
the swap system and will permit Pilots to display swap requests on
bulletin boards.
	 
	 	B.	 	The Swap must be submitted in writing for approval at least seven (7)
days in advance of the swap, except in cases of emergency, and must
contain all pertinent information concerning the swap, including
contact numbers for both Pilots. The request must be signed by both
Pilots.
	 
	 	C.	 	The swap may only be done in increments of one (1) full day.
	 
	 	D.	 	Within three (3) working days of the swap request, the Company will
confirm to the two Pilots its receipt and acceptance or rejection of
the swap request. When the Company has accepted a swap request, both
Pilots become responsible for the swapped jobs as if they were their
own; provided however, that if the responsible pilot has voluntarily
terminated his employment prior to the date of his swapped assignment,
the regularly assigned pilot is responsible for the assignment. If the
Pilot is involuntarily terminated prior to performing his swapped
assignment, the Company will deduct from his vacation bank the amount
of pay for such swapped assignment.

Pilot shall be submitted to the Company within seven (7) business days
of receipt by the Pilot, and will state if he is able to perform
Pilots’ duties. In the event that such findings verify the findings of
the medical examiner employed by the Company, no further medical
review of the case shall be afforded.
	 
	 	3.	 	In the event that the findings of the medical examiner chosen by the
Pilot disagree with the findings of the medical examiner employed by

rate of pay and medical expenses.

WORKOVER/OVERTIME





			
	Section 1.	 	Workover Pay









	 	A.	 	A Workover is defined as being scheduled for and reporting to work on
a regularly scheduled day off.
	 
	 	B.	 	A Workover rate shall apply regardless of job assignment, aircraft flown or hours on duty.






			
	Section 2.	 	Workover Procedures And Assignments









	 	A.	 	It is understood that Workovers are a viable and popular means for
providing additional income and, as such, should be assigned in a fair
and equitable manner.
	 
	 	B.	 	A Pilot who desires a Workover assignment will submit a Written
Workover Form, which will be provided by the Company, to the ARA
scheduling department. The request will include:






	 	1.	 	Pilot’s name and contact number;
	 
	 	2.	 	The date(s) a Pilot is available to Workover on his off hitch;
	 
	 	3.	 	The aircraft a Pilot is able and willing to fly;
	 
	 	4.	 	The bases at which a Pilot is willing to Workover; and
	 
	 	5.	 	Whether the Pilot can be contacted to perform emergency Workovers.






	 	C.	 	A Pilot is responsible for ensuring that the information on file in
the scheduling department is accurate and that the dates requested for
the Workover are correct.
	 
	 	D.	 	The Company will maintain a Workover list that will be redone each
Friday. Therefore, Pilots must request Workovers no later than the
Friday before the week that includes the Workover. A Pilot who agrees
to a Workover shall be considered on hitch for the dates agreed to by
the Company and Pilot. If the Company cannot reach a Pilot to cancel a
Workover before the Pilot leaves home, the Pilot will be given the
choice of returning home, with mileage and meal allowance in
accordance with Articles 25 and 26, or accepting other available work.
If other work is not available, the Pilot will receive workover pay in
accordance with Article 21.
	 
	 	E.	 	The Company shall maintain two (2) Workover lists.






	 	1.	 	The Emergency list will contain the names of those Pilots who are able
to report to work on two (2) hours notice.
	 
	 	2.	 	The Normal Roster will be divided into two (2) groups: those Pilots
who want to perform Workovers at any base; and those Pilots who want
to perform Workovers only at a specified base.






	 	F.	 	Normal Workovers will be offered in the following order:




 









 




Page
28 of 62









	 	1.	 	To Pilots with “off days” between training and their hitch;
	 
	 	2.	 	To Pilots who fly the job on the opposite hitch;
	 
	 	3.	 	To any qualified Pilot, in seniority order, by requested base;
	 
	 	4.	 	To supervisors.






	 	G.	 	Emergency Workovers will only be offered to Pilots who meet the
criteria identified in Section 2, Paragraph (E.1) of this Article
except in the event of a hurricane. In the event of a hurricane, the
Company will make reasonable efforts to contact workover Pilots on a
seniority basis, but reserves the right to make assignments on a first
come, first serve basis.
	 
	 	H.	 	Pilots will be passed over for Workovers when:






	 	1.	 	A Pilot is not qualified;
	 
	 	2.	 	A specific customer requests that a certain Pilot not fly his job;
	 
	 	3.	 	There is a conflict with a Pilot’s regular job (i.e., FAR limitations);
	 
	 	4.	 	The dates of a Pilot’s availability conflict with the length of a job
(i.e., 1-day job vs. RON);
	 
	 	5.	 	A pilot does not answer a phone call from the Company. A daily phone
record shall be maintained to verify that a call to the Pilot has been
made.
	 
	 	6.	 	A Pilot is unable to give the scheduling department a definitive
answer at the time of the call.






	 	I.	 	A Pilot will be allowed to use a beeper as his contact number only for
Normal Workovers. A Pilot contacted on his beeper will have fifteen
(15) minutes to respond to his page or he will be passed over for a
Workover assignment. It will be the Pilot’s responsibility to make
certain that his beeper is in working order.
	 
	 	J.	 	Any Pilot who refuses two (2) Workover offers will be placed at the
bottom of the list for the remainder of the hitch.
	 
	 	K.	 	When the procedures of Section 2, Paragraph F of this Article have
been exhausted, the Company may remove a Pilot from his job at his
base, in reverse seniority order, to fulfill such requests for as
short a period as possible, not to exceed three (3) days. This is in
accordance with the procedures of Article 8, I, Section 3.
	 
	 	L.	 	When assigning Workovers, base supervisors will make every reasonable
effort to follow the guidelines set forth in this Article. Further,
they will insure, to the best of their ability, that Workovers are
distributed equally to all whose names appear on Workover rosters at
their respective bases.
	 
	 	M.	 	Supervisors shall not be used on revenue flights which could be flown
by Pilots on Workover status, or in any manner so as to avoid hiring a
Workover Pilot, except in the following circumstances:






	 	1.	 	Medical emergencies;
	 
	 	2.	 	When every reasonable effort has been made to secure a Workover Pilot
in accordance with the provisions of this Article and such efforts
were unproductive.






			
	Section 3.	 	Compensatory Time









	 	A.	 	Compensatory Time means a Pilot requests a day off from a regularly
scheduled workday in lieu of Workover pay. Such time shall be
compensated as his regular base pay.
	 
	 	B.	 	The request for compensatory time must be agreed to by the Company and
the day off shall be granted by

agreement cannot be reached, the Pilot shall receive the applicable
Workover pay.



ARTICLE 25




TRAVEL PAY





			
	Section 1.	 	Mileage pay shall be paid at the applicable rate
established by the Internal Revenue Service under the
following circumstances:









	 	A.	 	When required to relocate to another base or location other than the
Pilot’s assigned base via personal vehicle. Mileage will be calculated
from the point of the Pilot’s assigned base to the location directed
by the Company.
	 
	 	B.	 	When mileage is in excess of thirty (30) miles for use of a personal
vehicle. When computing mileage, figures must reflect mileage from ARA
to Workover base or mileage from the Pilot’s home to Workover base,
whichever is the lesser distance or if applicable, mileage from
assigned base to the Workover base.






			
	Section 2.	 	Mileage will not be paid in cases of Workover at the assigned
bases when such Workover immediately proceeds or follows a
normal work schedule.









			
	Section 3.     A.	 	Additional Crew Member Agreement (ACM). As the flight
deck crewmembers covered under this agreement reside
in various locations, and are subject to frequent
changes of job assignment with little or no notice,
the Company shall make reasonable efforts to enter
into ACM Agreements with other carriers in the Air
Transportation Industry to provide for transportation
related to commuting to and from their residence to
job assignments.









	 	B.	 	If requested by a Pilot, the Company shall provide a Photo
Identification Card that provides sufficient information about each
Pilot and the Company. The Photo ID System shall be available within

are required to RON onshore during a hitch shall receive per diem of
$22.50 per day in lieu of offshore bonus.

ARTICLE 32




GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 





			
	Section 1.	 	Introduction









The procedures described in this Article shall be the mandatory and exclusive
mechanism for the resolution of all grievances concerning an action of the
company affecting a Pilot or group of Pilots, including, without limitation,
any and all grievances arising from discipline, discharge, or the
interpretation or application of the express terms of this Agreement.




			
	Section 2.	 	Discipline And Discharge









	 	A.	 	The Company normally follows the principle of progressive discipline.
However, discipline can be more or less severe depending on the
seriousness of the infraction.
	 
	 	B.	 	Based on the severity of the infraction, a Pilot may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, for any
violation(s) or infraction(s) of Company regulations, policies or
violation of provisions contained in this Agreement. Disciplinary
action will be in accordance with the following procedures:






	 	1.	 	The Company may suspend the Pilot with pay prior to notifying the Pilot of the charge;
	 
	 	2.	 	The Company will provide the affected Pilot, with a copy to the Union,
notice of the charge(s). In the event the 

charge(s) is the result of
an alleged safety violation the notice of the charge will specifically
state that it is safety related.
	 
	 	3.	 	Within seven (7) working days after the completion of the
investigation the Company will inform the Pilot in writing, with a
copy to the Union, of its decision regarding the charge and any
discipline imposed. The investigation will normally be completed
within ten (10) working days of the event. If the Company needs
additional time to complete the investigation it will advise the Union
of the additional time required. If a Pilot is suspended pending an
internal investigation, he will remain on the payroll until that
investigation is complete. However, the Pilot will not be entitled to
any workover pay, mileage or per diem if discipline is imposed.





 









 




Page
34 of 62



	 	C.	 	A Pilot may be immediately removed from payroll and may be suspended
without pay (for a period no longer than seventeen (17) working days)
for violation of the FAA drug/alcohol policy, acts of violence or
sabotage or threatening same, theft, gross negligence in the operation
of an aircraft, or use of a weapon on Company premises.
	 
	 	D.	 	In the event the Pilot feels he had been unjustly disciplined or
discharged, the Pilot or the Union may appeal in writing the Company’s
decision to the Director of Operations within ten (10) calendar days
of the Company’s decision. The appeal must set forth a concise
statement of the facts giving rise to the appeal, and state the remedy
or relief requested.
	 
	 	E.	 	The Director of Operations or his designee may elect to investigate
the matter, and shall issue a decision in writing to the Pilot, with a
copy to the Union, regarding disposition of the appeal within seven
(7) calendar days of when the appeal was filed. In the event the
decision on the appeal is not satisfactory to the Pilot, he or the
Union may appeal to the System Board of Adjustment in accordance with
Article 33 of this Agreement.






			
	Section 3.	 	Grievance Procedure









	 	A.	 	Disputes arising under this Agreement or between the parties with
respect to the interpretation or application of the Agreement,
excluding discipline or discharge matters subject to Section 2 of this
Article, shall be processed in the following manner:






	 	1.	 	Pilot(s) shall first attempt to resolve any dispute informally through
consultation with his immediate supervisor within seven (7) calendar
days of the date on which the affected Pilot, or any Pilot among a
group of affected Pilots know or reasonably should have known of the
facts on which the grievance is based. The supervisor shall render a
decision within seven (7) calendar days from the date of consultation.
	 
	 	2.	 	If the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Pilot(s)
within this time period, the aggrieved party or the Union shall reduce
the grievance to writing signed by an authorized representative of the
Union, and present it to the Director of Operations. At a minimum the
written grievance shall contain the following information:






	 	a.	 	A reference to the provisions of the Agreement alleged to have been breached;
	 
	 	b.	 	A statement of the facts involved;
	 
	 	c.	 	The specific remedy requested by the affected Pilot(s); and
	 
	 	d.	 	Grievance number.






	 	3.	 	The written grievance must be submitted to the Director of Operations
within ten (10) calendar days of the date on which the grievance was
denied or deemed to have been denied by the supervisor.
	 
	 	4.	 	The Director of Operations shall render a decision on the grievance in
writing within ten (10) calendar days of the date on which the
grievance was filed. In the event this decision is unacceptable to the
Union, it may appeal the decision in writing to the General Manager,
with a copy to the Director of Human Resources, within fourteen (14)
calendar days of receipt of the decision. The appeal must include a
statement of the reason(s) why the Union believes that the decision by
the Director of Operations was erroneous.
	 
	 	5.	 	The General Manager shall render a decision on the appeal in writing
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date on which the grievance
was appealed. In the event the General Manager’s decision is
unacceptable to the Union, it may appeal to the System Board of
Adjustment in accordance with Article 33 of this Agreement.

	Section 4.	 	Time Limits









	 	A.	 	The failure of a Company representative to issue a decision or hold a
hearing within the deadlines prescribed by this Article shall be
deemed a denial of the grievance or appeal, and such grievance or
appeal shall be deemed to have been immediately and automatically
appealed to the next step unless the Union indicates that it wishes to
withdraw such appeal.
	 
	 	B.	 	The failure of the Pilot(s) or the Union to comply with any of the
time limits set forth in this Section shall be deemed an immediate,
automatic, and final withdrawal of the grievance or appeal unless an
extension of time has been requested from the Gulf Coast Manager or
Director of Operations within the prescribed time limits set forth in
this Article.






			
	Section 5.	 	General









	 	A.	 	Unless expressly provided otherwise, all notification(s) or appeals
required by this Article shall be in writing, and accomplished by
either hand delivery verified by an initialed copy or by delivery
system prepaid with return receipt requested. A notification or appeal
required by this Article shall only be valid if it is sent to the last
known address of the party to whom the notice is directed.
	 
	 	B.	 	Compliance with all time limits specified in this Article shall be
determined by the date of mailing, as established by postmark or by
date of hand delivery, as established by the initialed copy.
	 
	 	C.	 	A group grievance may be filed by the Union. Any such grievance shall
contain sufficient information to permit the Company to identify the
individual Pilots covered by the group grievance. No remedy awarded in
a group grievance shall provide monetary compensation for periods
prior to thirty (30) calendar days from the date on which the formal,
written grievance was filed or the date the alleged violation,
whichever is less.
	 
	 	D.	 	Time limits specified in this Agreement may be waived by mutual
written consent of the parties.
	 
	 	E.	 	The parties will notify one another of the persons designated to file
and answer grievances.
	 
	 	F.	 	All grievances resolved at any step of the Grievance Procedure prior
to the System Board of Adjustment shall be on a non-precedential basis
unless mutually agreed otherwise.
	 
	 	G.	 	If a grievant is exonerated, his personnel file shall be cleared of
all reference to the incident. Records may be kept in a separate file
but may not be used in future disciplinary actions. A grievant who is
cleared of all charges shall be made whole as pertains to wages,
seniority, longevity and benefits.
	 
	 	H.	 	A Pilot shall have the right of Union representation at all meetings
with the Company. A Pilot shall be advised in advance of the nature of
the subject of any hearing or conference.
	 
	 	I.	 	When there is an active grievance on file relating to discipline or
discharge of a Pilot, the Pilot and his Union Representative shall
have access to the Personnel File of the Pilot involved. Such access
shall include all letters of warning issued to the Pilot and all
records of disciplinary actions initiated by the Company relating to
the Pilot, as well as all current and available grievance related
material regarding the current disciplinary action which would become
a part of the Pilot(s) personnel file. In addition, the Union shall
have the right to make reasonable requests and obtain copies of any
documents in the Pilot(s) personnel file, which are relevant to the
grievance.
	 
	 	J.	 	The Company agrees that the Union may request, and will be provided,
with documents which are relevant to the processing of an active
grievance filed by the Union. Such data shall be produced within a
reasonable time (which is normally 14 days) after receipt of the
request. If the Company needs additional time, it will advise the

ARTICLE 34




NO STRIKE/NO LOCKOUT 





			
	Section 1.	 	During the term of this Agreement, it is understood and

covered hereby, and the Union will not authorize or take
part in any strike or picketing of the Company premises.
Any Pilot engaging in such activity may be subject to
discipline up to and including discharge.









			
	Section 2.	 	It shall not be a violation of this Agreement for a Pilot to
refuse to cross a customer’s picket line, provided that in

Pilots will be required to perform their normal duties at the
customer’s place of business.









			
	Section 3.	 	In situations where one of the Company’s customers is being
picketed, and if the Company knows about the picket in advance,
the Company will notify the Pilot about the picket line before
dispatching a Pilot to that customer. Pilots who refuse to take

will not be penalized. When no one is willing to cross a picket
line, the Company will be permitted to service its customers
the best way possible.

ARTICLE 35




UNION REPRESENTATION 





			
	Section 1.	 	Upon reasonable advance notification to appropriate
management personnel, the Company agrees to admit to its
stations and bases officially designated representatives
of the Union to transact business as is necessary for the
administration of the Agreement. Such business shall be
transacted in as short a time as possible and shall not
interfere with the operations of the Company. The Union
representative may be escorted by a management
representative while on Company property; in the
alternative, the Company may make a private meeting space
available to the Union representative for any Union visit.









			
	Section 2.	 	The Union may select elected or appointed representatives and
shall notify the Company designee, from time to time of their
appointment or removal. The Company designee shall notify the
Union of the appropriate Company representative hereunder.









			
	Section 3.	 	The Union shall elect or appoint Pilots to be primary job
steward(s) and alternate(s) to conduct Union business and shall
notify the Company in writing of their election, appointment or
removal.









			
	Section 4.     A.	 	A primary or alternate steward shall be permitted
reasonable time to investigate, present and process
grievances within the scope of said steward’s station
or base on the Company property without loss of pay
during his/her regular working hours.









	 	B.	 	A primary or alternate steward shall be permitted to present
grievances to management and attempt to resolve any alleged grievance.
	 
	 	C.	 	A primary or alternate steward shall be granted the right to consult
with Pilots under their jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the
provisions of this Agreement.
	 
	 	D.	 	Time spent in handling grievances during the steward’s regular working
hours shall be considered hours worked for all purposes.
	 
	 	E.	 	The provisions of Section 4 above shall not result in any Workovers
nor cause any adverse impact on the Company’s operation. In addition,
a Pilot, while serving as a primary or alternate steward shall remain
available to assist the Base Manager with Pilot-related tasks, if
requested. This paragraph shall not be used to keep a steward from
performing his union work when he otherwise would not be needed by the
Company.






			
	Section 5.	 	Upon forty-eight (48) hours notification by the Union
President, the Company will grant a Pilot(s) unpaid time off to
perform Union business off the Company premises. In the event
the Union business shall require an absence from work in excess
of one (1) week, a Union leave of absence will be granted in
accordance with Article 11. The Union will cooperate with the
Company to minimize any negative impact on operations as a
result of this Section (i.e., scheduling
meetings/union-sponsored training on Pilot’s days off, limiting
the number of Pilots who can have union time off).









			
	Section 6.	 	The Company will notify the Union in writing of the names and
hire dates of all newly hired Pilots and transfers. Such
notification will be transmitted during the Pilot’s first week
on the payroll. Upon notification from the Union, the
appropriate Company manager will allow a Union representative
who is an employee of the Company access to new hire Pilots to
provide Union orientation for thirty (30) minutes before or
after the Company’s new hire orientation.









			
	Section 7.	 	Stewards who serve their fellow Pilots at any Company station
or base shall be considered Union Representatives.








ARTICLE 36




UNION SECURITY 





			
	Section 1.	 	Each Pilot covered by this agreement shall become a member
of the Union within sixty (60) days after the effective
date of this Agreement, and shall be required as a
condition of continued employment by the Company to
maintain his/her membership in the Union so long as this
Agreement remains in effect, to the extent of paying an
initiation (or re-initiation) fee, monthly membership dues
and assessments, which are uniformly required of Pilots
covered by this Agreement. Such Pilot shall have his/her
monthly membership dues deducted from his/her earnings by
payroll deduction.








 









 





Page
39 of 62





			
	Section 2.	 	Any Pilot hired into a classification covered by this Agreement
on or after the effective date of this Agreement shall become a
member of the Union within sixty (60) days after employment and
shall be required as a condition of continued employment by the
Company to maintain his membership in the Union so long as this
Agreement remains in effect, to the extent of paying the
uniformly required initiation (or re-initiation) fee, monthly
membership dues and assessments.









			
	Section 3.	 	Any Pilot maintaining or accruing seniority in a classification
covered by this Agreement (except as provided in Section 6) but
not employed in such classification, or any other
classification covered by this Agreement, shall not be required
to maintain Union membership during such employment but may do
so at his/her option.
	 
	 	 	Should a Pilot return to a classification covered by this Agreement, s/he shall
be required to become a member of the Union within fifteen (15) days after the
date s/he returns to such classifications, and shall, as a condition of
employment in classification covered by this Agreement, become a member of the
Union and maintain membership in the Union so long as this Agreement remains in
effect to the extent of paying an initiation (or re-initiation) fee, monthly
membership dues and assessments.







			
	Section 4.	 	The provisions of this Agreement shall not apply to any Pilot
covered by this Agreement to whom membership in this Union is
not available by payment of initiation (or re-initiation) fees,
if applicable, monthly dues and assessments under the same
terms and conditions as uniformly applicable to any other
Pilot, or to any other Pilot to whom membership in the Union is
denied or terminated for any reason other than the failure of
the employee to pay uniformly levied initiation (or
re-initiation) fees, if applicable, monthly dues and
assessments. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
payment of any initiation (or re-initiation) fee, by a Pilot if
an authorized or permissible transfer according to the Bylaws
and Constitution is involved.









			
	Section 5.	 	If a Pilot covered by this Agreement has resigned from the
Company and is re-employed, s/he shall be governed by Section 2
of this Article.









	 	A.	 	If a Pilot is laid off and is recalled from layoff s/he shall be
governed by Section 3 of this Article.
	 
	 	B.	 	The seniority status and rights of Pilots granted leaves of absence to
serve in the armed forces shall not be terminated by reason of any of
the provisions of this Article but such Pilot shall, upon resumption
of employment in classification covered by this Agreement be governed
by the provisions of Section 3, Paragraph 2 of this Article.






			
	Section 6.	 	The payment of dues by a member shall not be required as a
condition of employment during leave of absence without pay or
during periods of transfer or promotions to a classification
not covered by this Agreement.









			
	Section 7.	 	When a Pilot does not become a member of the Union by payment
of initiation (or re-initiation) fee as provided in this
Article, or is a member of the Union and becomes delinquent in
the payment of monthly dues or assessments, as provided in this
paragraph, the following procedure shall apply:









	 	A.	 	If a new hire Pilot has not become a member of the Union within sixty
(60) days after employment with the Company, the Union shall notify
such Pilot in writing, certified mail, return receipt requested, copy
to the Company designee, that such Pilot must become a member of the
Union within the time limits specified in Section 2 of this Article or
be subject to discharge as Pilot of the Company. If, upon expiration
of the period of time specified in Section 2 of this Article, such new
Pilot has not become a member of the Union, the Union shall certify in
writing to the Company designee, copy to the Pilot, that the Pilot has
failed to become a member of the Union as provided in this Article,
and is, therefore, to be discharged. The Company shall then promptly
notify the Pilot involved that s/he is to be discharged from the
services of the Company and shall promptly take proper steps to so
discharge the Pilot.






	 	1.	 	If a Pilot, other than a new hire Pilot, who is required to become a
member of the Union as provided in this Article does not become a
member of the Union within the time limits specified in this Article
for Pilots covered by this Agreement, the Union shall notify the
Company designee with a copy to the Pilot, that the Pilot has failed
to become a member of the Union as required by this Article and is,
therefore, to be discharged. The Company shall then promptly notify
the Pilot involved that s/he is to be discharged from the service of
the Company and shall promptly take proper steps to discharge said
Pilot.




 









 




Page
40 of 62









	 	B.	 	If a Pilot covered by this Agreement becomes delinquent by more than
two (2) calendar months in the payment of monthly dues including
assessments, the Union shall notify the Pilot, in writing, certified
mail, return receipt requested, copy to the Company designee that said
Pilot is delinquent in the payment of monthly membership dues as
specified herein and, accordingly, will be subject to discharge as a
Pilot of the Company. Such letter shall also notify the Pilot that
s/he must remit the required payment to the Secretary-Treasurer of
his/her Local Union by the twenty-second (22) day of the month in
which notice from the Union was received or be subject to discharge.
If such Pilot still remains delinquent in the payment of dues on the
twenty-second (22 nd) day of the month in which his/her
notice from the Union was received, the Union shall notify in writing
the Company designee, with a copy to the Pilot, that the Pilot has
failed to remit payment of the dues within the grace period allowed
herein and is, therefore, to be discharged. The Company shall then
promptly notify the Pilot involved that s/he is to be discharged from
the service of the Company, and shall promptly take the proper steps
to so discharge the Pilot.
	 
	 	C.	 	A Pilot discharged by the Company under the provisions of this
paragraph shall be deemed to have been discharged for cause.






			
	Section 8.	 	Any discharge under the terms of this Article shall be based
solely upon failure of the Pilot to pay or tender initiation
(or re-initiation) fee, membership dues and assessments upon
the same terms and conditions as are generally applicable to
any other member of the Union, within the time limits specified
herein, and not because of denial or termination of membership
in the Union for any other reason.









			
	Section 9.	 	A grievance by a Pilot who is to be discharged as a result of
an interpretation or application of the provisions of this
Article shall be subject to the following procedures:









	 	A.	 	A Pilot who believes the provisions of this Article pertaining to
him/her have not been properly interpreted or applied, and who desires
a review must submit his/her request for review in writing within five
(5) business days from the date of his/her notification by the Company
as provided in Section 7, subsection (A) 1 of this Article. The
request will be submitted to the Company designee, with a copy to the
Union. The Union may be present at the review of the grievance to
represent the Union’s interest in the case. The Company designee will
review the grievance and render a decision in writing with a copy to
the Union no later than ten (10) business days following the receipt
of the grievance.
	 
	 	B.	 	If the decision is not satisfactory to the Union, then it may appeal
the decision through the grievance procedure. If the decision is not
satisfactory to the Pilot, then he/she may appeal the decision within
ten (10) days from the date of receipt directly to a neutral referee
who must be agreed upon by the Pilot and the Union within (10) days
thereafter.
	 
	 	C.	 	In the event the parties fail to agree upon a neutral referee within
the specified period, either the Pilot or the union may request the
National Mediation Board to name such neutral referee.
	 
	 	D.	 	The decision of the neutral referee shall be binding on all parties to
the dispute. The fees and charges of such neutral shall be borne
equally by the Pilot and the union.
	 
	 	E.	 	During the period a grievance is being handled under the provisions of
this section and until after the decision by the Company designee or
after final decision by the neutral referee, the Pilot shall not be
discharged from the Company because of noncompliance with the terms
and provisions of this Article.






			
	Section 10.	 	No Pilot(s) covered by this Agreement or Pilot whose
employment is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Article or the Union shall have any claim for loss of time,
wages or any other damages against the Company because of
agreeing to this Article or because of any alleged violation,
misapplications, compliance or noncompliance with any
provision of this Article. The Union agrees to hold the
Company harmless and to indemnify the Company against any
suits, claims, liabilities, and reasonable and customary
attorneys’ fees which arise out of or by reason of any action
taken by the Company pursuant to a written demand by an
authorized union representative under the terms of this
Article.









			
	Section 11.	 	During the life of this Agreement, the Company agrees that
upon receipt of a properly executed Authorization of Payroll
Deduction, voluntarily executed by a Pilot, it will make a
single monthly deduction from the Pilot’s earnings, after
other deductions authorized by the Pilot or required by law
have been made, to cover his/her current standard monthly
Union dues, assessments and/or initiation fees uniformly
levied in accordance with the









 









 





Page
41 of 62



Constitution and Bylaws of the
Union, as set forth in the Railway Labor Act, as amended.




			
	Section 12.	 	The Company will deduct said Pilot’s dues in the month in
which the Pilot is recalled from furlough or returns from a
leave of absence. In the event the Pilot is recalled from
furlough or returns from a leave of absence after the dues
have been deducted for a month, the Company will make a double
deduction in the following month. The Company will pay over to
the designated official of the Union the wages withheld for
such initiation fees and dues. The amount withheld shall be
reported and paid to the Union within ten (10) business days
from when deductions were made.









			
	Section 13.	 	Any authorizations from payroll deductions under this Article
shall be effective one (1) week following its receipt by the
Company Payroll Department and shall apply to the next
paycheck from which dues deduction is made.









			
	Section 14.	 	The Company remittance to the Union will be accompanied by
lists of names and Pilot numbers of the Pilots for whom the
deductions have been made in that particular period and the
individual amounts deducted.









			
	Section 15.	 	Collection of dues not deducted because of insufficient
current earnings, dues missed because of clerical error, or
inadvertent error in the accounting procedure, dues missed due
to delay in receipt of the Authorization for Payroll
Deductions shall be the responsibility of the Union and shall
not be the subject of payroll deductions from subsequent pay
checks, and the Company shall not be responsible in any way
for such missed collections. It shall be the Union’s
responsibility to verify apparent errors with the individual
Union member or Pilot prior to contacting the Company Human
Resources Department. The total or balance of unpaid dues,
assessments and/or initiation fees due and owing the Union at
the time a Pilot terminates his/her employment shall be
deducted from the final paycheck in accordance with applicable
law.









			
	Section 16.	 	In the event the amount of the standard dues or fees uniformly
levied are changed, it shall be the sole responsibility of the
Union to notify the Company and to make any necessary
adjustments as to the amounts to be deducted from the Pilot’s
earnings. So far as the Company is concerned, any such changes
shall be made in accordance with the time limits set forth in
Section 13 of this Article.









			
	Section 17.	 	An authorization for payroll deduction shall be irrevocable
for the term of this Agreement, or for a period of one (1)
year from the date of the authorization, whichever occurs
sooner. Subject to Section 15 above, an Authorization for
Payroll Deduction shall automatically be revoked if:









	 	A.	 	The Pilot transfers to a position with the Company not covered by this Agreement.
	 
	 	B.	 	The Pilot’s services with the Company are terminated;
	 
	 	C.	 	The Pilot is furloughed; or
	 
	 	D.	 	The Pilot is on an authorized leave of absence.






			
	Section 18.	 	The Authorization for Payroll Deduction to be voluntarily
executed shall be signed by the Pilot. It shall stipulate the
following language:









“I, (name of Pilot) do hereby authorize and direct my Employer, (circle one)
Air Logistics L.L.C. Air Logistics of Alaska, to deduct from my wages for
remittance to the authorized official or affiliate of the Office and
Professional Employees International Union, Local 107, periodic dues,
initiation fees, and/or assessments uniformly required as a condition of
acquiring or maintaining membership in accordance with the provisions of the
Union Shop Agreement between my Employer and the Union. I further authorize and
direct my Employer to deduct from my wages for remittance, as set forth above,
the total or balance of unpaid dues, assessments and/or initiation fees due and
owing the Union at the time my employment with the above named Employer ends.”




     “This authorization shall not include fines and penalties. I agree that this
authorization shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement, or for a
period of one (1) year from the date of the authorization, whichever occurs
sooner. All amounts to be deducted from my wages will commence with the first
regular dues deduction paycheck following receipt by my Employer of this
notice.”

Page 48 of 62










all aspects of the job requirements. In the event such
qualified Charter Pilots are not available, the Company may assign
other Pilots who are so qualified in reverse seniority order.




	 	G.	 	Definition Of Qualified






	 	1.	 	Qualified: The term qualified as used in this Article and Agreement
means that a Pilot has been trained in an aircraft model, meets the
experience requirements of both the customer and Air Logistics of
Alaska, and has demonstrated the ability to complete all aspects of
the job requirements.
	 
	 	2.	 	A Pilot will be considered qualified in an aircraft model although he
may not be “current” as per FAR 135.293(b), 135.299, etc. If that
Pilot is otherwise qualified and can become current within a
reasonable amount of time, the Company will provide training, in
accordance with Article 17.






			
	Section 3.	 	After a Pilot has been awarded a bid job and has completed the
necessary training, the Company will not allow any other Pilot
to temporarily perform work on that job, provided the bid Pilot
is available for work during his normal hitch. If an immediate
operational requirement exists, an available qualified Pilot
may be removed from his awarded job, in reverse seniority
order, to fulfill such requirement for as short a period as
possible, not to exceed forty-five (45) days. In such cases,
the Pilot being removed from his position will be pay protected
until such time as he has returned to his original job.









			
	Section 4.	 	A Pilot may bid on any posted position, provided that once he
has been awarded a vacancy, the Pilot shall be ineligible to
bid on another vacancy for one (1) year from the date of
transfer. Date of transfer is defined as the first date a Pilot
performs in revenue service at his new job.









			
	Section 5.     A.	 	The Company may elect, based on operational needs, to
withhold a Pilot who has successfully bid for a
vacancy from entering training for a period not to
exceed forty-five (45) days, unless mutually agreed
otherwise by the Company and the Pilot.









	 	B.	 	If a Pilot is withheld, he will be compensated at the base
salary he would have been entitled to if he had completed
training and the higher base salary will commence when he was
originally scheduled to enter training






	II.	 	 TEMPORARY VACANCIES






			
	Section 1.	 	Temporary vacancies are positions created to fill operational
needs for ninety (90) consecutive days or less. Seasonal
vacancies are positions created to fill the operational needs
of summer flying.









			
	Section 2.	 	Temporary and Seasonal vacancies shall be filled by offering
the positions to Charter Pilots in seniority order. If no
Charter Pilot accepts the opening, the job will be assigned to
a Charter Pilot in reverse seniority order. Pilots employed by
Air Logistics of Alaska Inc will have priority when filling all
vacancies in the Alaska operations.









			
	Section 3.	 	Charter Pilots in the Alaska operation will be given preference
over Seasonal Pilots to the extent they are qualified to
perform all functions of the available work without further
training. If no Charter Pilot accepts the opening, the job will
be assigned to a Seasonal Pilot. If there are no available
qualified Seasonal Pilots, the work will be assigned to Charter
Pilots in reverse seniority order.









			
	Section 4.	 	Pilots assigned to temporary vacancies shall be returned to
their former position, if it still exists, upon completion of
the temporary assignment.









			
	Section 5.	 	A Pilot assigned to a temporary vacancy with a higher salary
than his current salary will receive such pay for the duration
of the temporary assignment.









			
	Section 6.	 	The Company will post notice to Gulf of Mexico Pilots Temporary
and Seasonal Pilot vacancies in the Alaska operation and these
Pilots will be eligible to work in such positions subject to
the following conditions:









	 	A.	 	The successful completion of a flight check with, and an evaluation
by, the Chief Pilot of the Alaska operation;

	 	B.	 	The Pilot must meet all of the qualification requirements set forth by
the Company and the customer; and
	 
	 	C.	 	The Pilot is responsible for his own travel to and from Alaska. There
will be no travel or mileage pay provided to the Pilot. If a Gulf of
Mexico Pilot is involuntarily assigned to Alaska, the Company shall
pay for his travel expenses to and from Alaska.






	III.	 	 GENERAL






			
	Section 1.	 	A Pilot will not be considered qualified for an IFR PIC job
unless he is recommended by either an IFR Line Captain or an
IFR Check Airman, and successfully completes an IFR flight and
classroom check by a Check Airman.









			
	Section 2.	 	For the purpose of bidding on a vacant IFR PIC crew position,
any Pilot who has completed the requirements of III, Section 1,
may request and shall be given an IFR PIC Training Ride by a
Check Airman within a reasonable amount of time. Following this
training ride, the Check Airman may recommend the Pilot for an
IFR PIC Check Ride.

first class physical examination once per year at the
company’s expense. Examinations will be scheduled
while the Pilot is off-duty. A copy of the medical

due.








ARTICLE 17




TRAINING





	I.	 	 RECURRENT TRAINING 






			
	Section 1.	 	The Company will attempt to schedule recurrent training on days
off to minimize disruption to the operation. The Company will
make reasonable efforts to schedule training immediately before
or immediately after a Pilot’s hitch. If recurrent training
cannot be scheduled immediately before or after his hitch, the
Company shall provide the Pilot who does not live within a
reasonable proximity of the Fairbanks area with housing
pursuant to Article 18, Section 2A, during the day(s) off
between his training and his hitch. Pay for recurrent training
will be in accordance with Article 21 of this Agreement.









			
	Section 2.	 	In the event a Pilot is unable to attend training on the day(s)
assigned, he will notify the Chief Pilot as far in advance as
possible. The Chief Pilot will work with the Pilot to arrange
for alternative training dates. However, if there are no
mutually agreeable dates available, the Pilot will remain
obligated to conduct the training on the original dates
assigned by the Company.









			
	Section 3.	 	Each quarter, the Company will publish a list of recurrent
training. At the beginning of each year, the Company will also
publish a list of scheduled recurrent training classes for the
year along with a list of Pilots assigned to









 









 





Page 53 of 62






such training. It
will be the responsibility of the Pilot to know the dates for
his scheduled recurrent training class and whether a Pilot’s
recurrent training has been rescheduled due to a change in
assignments.




	II.	 	 UPGRADE TRAINING






			
	Section 1.	 	The Company will attempt to schedule upgrade training on days
off to minimize disruption to the operation. The Company will
make reasonable efforts to schedule training immediately before
or immediately after a Pilot’s hitch. If upgrade training
cannot be scheduled immediately before or after his hitch, the
Company shall provide the Pilot who does not live within a
reasonable proximity of the Fairbanks area with housing
pursuant to Article 18, Section 2A, during the day(s) off
between his training and his hitch. Pay while in upgrade will
be in accordance with Article 21 of this Agreement. A Pilot’s
base salary will not increase until he has successfully
completed all training and reports for duty for the first
scheduled revenue flight in the upgraded aircraft. Upgrade
training in the Alaska operation is defined as moving from an
SIC seat to a PIC seat in the same type aircraft.









	III.	 	SPECIAL TRAINING AND NEW HIRE TRAINING






			
	Section 1.	 	The Company will attempt to assign any nonrecurrent special
training on a Pilot’s day off to minimize disruption to the
operation. The Company will make reasonable efforts to schedule
training immediately before or immediately after a Pilot’s
hitch. If special training cannot be scheduled immediately
before or after his hitch, the Company shall provide the Pilot
with housing in accordance with Article 18, Section 2A, during
the day(s) off between his training and his hitch. (This
preceding sentence is not applicable for new hire training.)









	IV.	 	 TRAINING FAILURES 






			
	Section 1.	 	It is recognized that not all Pilots reach the required level
of proficiency in the same amount of time. Therefore, when it
becomes apparent to the Company that a Pilot will require time
in excess of that usually required to reach proficiency, the
Company Training Department will, in consultation with the
Pilot, determine the cause of his inability to reach the
required proficiency level and establish a plan for correcting
the problem. In the event a Pilot fails to demonstrate the
required degree of proficiency after completion of the
individual training plan, he will be handled in accordance with
the provisions outlined below.









	 	A.	 	Recurrent Training






	 	1.	 	A Pilot who fails any portion of recurrent training (written exam,
oral exam, flight check) will be removed from line duty until he has
completed retraining and has been successfully retested by the
Company.
	 
	 	2.	 	A Pilot who fails his oral exam or flight check may request a change
in instructor or additional training prior to his retest.
	 
	 	3.	 	If the Pilot fails the retest, his status with the Company will be reviewed.






	 	B.	 	Upgrade/Transition Training






	 	1.	 	A Pilot who fails any portion of his upgrade/transition training after
a retest (written, oral or flight check) will have the training
discontinued. The Pilot will be returned to his previously flown
aircraft if the aircraft is still being flown by the Company, only
after successfully completing a retest (written, oral, flight check).
	 
	 	2.	 	A Pilot who fails his oral exam or flight check may request a change
in instructor or additional training prior to his retest.
	 
	 	3.	 	A Pilot who fails upgrade/transition training will not be permitted to
upgrade in that aircraft for a period of six (6) months following his
training failure. If a Pilot fails upgrade/transition training for a
second time, his status with the Company will be reviewed. It is
understood and agreed that the Company has the right to conduct a line
check following any training failure.






	 	C.	 	Flight Check/Progress Ride




 









 





Page 54 of 62









	 	1.	 	When a Pilot fails a flight check given as a result of an aircraft
incident or an observed departure from normal flight procedures, his
status with the Company will be reviewed.
	 
	 	2.	 	If an oral exam is necessary and the Pilot fails a retest, his status
with the Company will also be reviewed.






	 	D.	 	Initial Training (New Hire)






	 	1.	 	A Pilot who fails any portion of his new hire training will be subject
to termination by the Company.

Dear Ken:




     This letter will confirm our understanding that the Pilot(s) employed by Offshore Logistics,
Inc. operating fixed wing aircraft under FAR Part 91 will not be covered by the collective
bargaining agreement between Offshore Logistics, Inc. and OPEIU.



     If such Pilot(s) performs work operating helicopters in the service of Offshore Logistics,
Inc. under FAR Part 135, he will be subject to the terms and conditions of the contract.



     Please sign in the space provided below acknowledging your understanding of this letter.



Sincerely,




Drury Milke

LETTER OF AGREEMENT #2




Between




Offshore Logistics, Inc.




And




Office and Professional Employees International Union




In the Service of




Air Logistics, L.L.C.




     As Represented by Local 107/OPEIU


WHEREAS, The Company desires to have its most senior, qualified Pilots hold and retain IFR slots;
and



WHEREAS, The Company wants to promote professionalism and maintain skill levels and recency of
experience;



THEREFORE, The Company will maintain a core group of IFR PIC’s and SIC’s, to be called the IFR
Cadre.





	A.	 	The IFR Cadre will be based on seniority and qualification.
	 
	B.	 	The number of Pilots who make up the IFR Cadre will be determined by the number of full-time
IFR contracts.
	 
	C.	 	The IFR Cadre will consist of two groups: IFR PIC and IFR SIC.
	 
	D.	 	The minimum number of Pilots in the IFR Cadre will be based on the following criteria.






	 	1.	 	Night shifts will be considered full-time IFR contracts for purposes of the IFR Cadre.
	 
	 	2.	 	Four (4)/three (3) crews covering multiple customers will also be
considered full-time contracts for purposes of the IFR Cadre.
	 
	 	3.	 	Five (5)/two (2) crews will be treated as four (4)/three (3) crews for purposes of the IFR Cadre.
	 
	 	4.	 	No Pilot will be considered qualified to serve as an IFR PIC unless
the Pilot has served as an IFR SIC for at least six (6) months, is
recommended for upgrade by an IFR Line Captain and successfully
completes an IFR flight check by a Check Airman.





 









 




Page 61 of 62




	E.	 	Staffing for the IFR Cadre will be reviewed in accordance with the
provisions below to determine if and when there should be any
adjustments made to the composition of the IFR Cadre.






	 	1.	 	If additional Pilots are needed for the IFR Cadre as a result of an
increased number of contracts, positions will be bid in accordance
with the provisions of Article 8 of the Agreement. The most senior,
qualified Pilot eligible to bid will either enter the Cadre if
qualified, or if not qualified, the Pilot will be scheduled for
training and enter the Cadre upon successful completion of Company
training.
	 
	 	2.	 	Upward adjustments in the composition of the IFR Cadre necessitated by
additional IFR customer contacts, may be made by the Company each
month.
	 
	 	3.	 	If a downward adjustment in the composition of the IFR Cadre is
necessitated by the loss of IFR customer contracts the adjustment will
be accomplished in the following manner:






	 	a.	 	The Company will pay protect up to ten (10) percent of those Pilots
who lose their IFR jobs due to a downward adjustment in staffing for a
period of 90 days. The least senior Pilots displaced will be the
individual(s) eligible for the pay protection described in this
paragraph. If the Company loses more than ten (10) percent of its IFR
contracts in any quarter, there will be no pay protection for any
Pilots through the end of a calendar quarter, including the first ten
(10) percent who lose their jobs as noted above.






	F.	 	A Pilot leaving the Cadre will become a pool Pilot until such time as
he is eligible to bid for a vacancy in accordance with Article 8 of
the Agreement. Any such pilot who is qualified will be given
preference for TEMPORARY VACANCIES.
	 
	G.	 	The Company reserves the right to remove a Pilot from an awarded job
based on a customer complaint. Upon request, written documentation of
the reasons for the complaint will be provided to the Pilot and the
Union. A Pilot removed from an awarded job based on a customer
complaint will be a pool pilot until a new bid is posted and awarded
in accordance with Article 8 and will not be provided the pay
protection described in this Letter of Agreement.






	H.	 	A Pilot who loses his IFR position due to lack of acceptable crew
performance will not be provided the pay protection described in this
Letter of Agreement.





In
witness whereof, the parties hereto have signed this Agreement on the ___ day of
                                                            , 2005.
