Dear Members, 

As previously communicated to YYZ members, we are sharing the below information on drafting. Note that the Company has not advised the union of drafting in any base except for YYZ at this time, however CCMs in other bases should make themselves familiar with this process should it be rolled out to other bases.

The union has been informed that due to a cabin crew shortage, Crew Scheduling at YYZ will begin drafting today. This decision comes after exhausting reserve, RTD pools, and posting open time according to the Collective Agreement (CA) and is made to preserve the operations and prevent cancellations. 

• If Crew Scheduling calls you and you pick up the phone, you are obligated to work the pairing unless you are not fit to fly or the pairing conflicts with a guaranteed day off (GDO) on your vacation block. 

• If you are currently on reserve or RTD and haven't received a call, please contact Crew Scheduling first before notifying your DPM and Base VP. 

We recommend reviewing Article 34-27 of the CA regarding Drafting procedures. For any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact your YYZ Base VP ws.yyz@cupe4070.ca. 

In solidarity, 

Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
