• Moving Expenses
• Common Domicile / Co-Terminals
• CRAF  (Civil Reserve Air Fleet)
• Probation
• Medical Examinations

• Hostage Benefits

This week, we reached four additional T/As. They are as follows:

• Safety and Security Department (SSD)

The JNC has begun discussions on the scheduling and related sections. We continue to pass proposals on the General, Leaves of Absence, Sick Leave and Filling of Vacancies sections.
