Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
A. INTRODUCTION
One of the advantages of working with an airline is the availability of reduced rate travel privileges. These privileges include travel on Canadian North and other carriers worldwide. The following information is provided to assist you in the correct utilization of your travel privileges. You are an ambassador for Canadian North and your behaviour will inevitably influence how others view our Company. The best approach to Reduced Rate/Pass Travel is to thoroughly familiarize yourself and those eligible to travel under your pass travel benefits with the rules and always act in a courteous and discreet manner when traveling. Remember that the interests of revenue passengers MUST always be placed ahead of pass travelers.
It is essential that the requirements and standards contained in this policy are strictly adhered to at all times. Failure to act in an acceptable manner may result in one or more of the following penalties:
- Cancellation of all further pass privileges - Collection of full published retail fare - Disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or criminal prosecution
These privileges cannot be sold, bartered or used for personal gain in any form. Ensure that all those who benefit from your privileges are fully aware of the Employee Travel Policy and its importance.
Reduced rate and pass travel privileges are not transferable from one person to another; they are solely for personal travel and are not to be used for any personal business venture or on behalf of any other individual or company. Officers and employees are wholly responsible for the general conduct and adherence to Company policies of those who enjoy travel benefits through them.
It is the employee’s responsibility to report to work on time. This includes taking the necessary precautions to ensure they are able to return to work as scheduled when traveling on passes of any type. Failure by an employee to meet this obligation may result in disciplinary action being taken by the Company, up to and including suspension of all travel privileges and termination of employment with the Company.
If you have any questions that are not answered by this policy, please contact your Manager or Margaret Mackay, Office & Interline Coordinator in YYC by email at [email protected]. It is important to remember that you are responsible for arranging your own travel. Please allow two weeks processing time for all requests unless otherwise indicated and ensure that all appropriate pass request forms, when required under this policy, are completed in their entirety.
EFFECTIVE: 16Jan09 Page 1 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
Unless otherwise specifically stated, the information contained in this policy applies to travel on Canadian North only. The provisions of agreements with other carriers are outlined in the Pass Travel Information section on the Intranet.
EFFECTIVE: 15Feb09 Page 2 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
B. EMPLOYEE PLEASURE TRAVEL
There are two (2) main types of employee airline travel for pleasure: space available or positive space. Space available travel means the pass traveler is listed for the flight but a seat is not reserved and travels only if a seat is available. If a seat is not available, the pass traveler must stand-by for the next available flight with a seat available. Positive space travel means you may reserve and hold a seat for a specific flight.
1. Space Available Service Charge U-Writes
The most common way to travel space available is by using a pink service charge Quick Ticket, which you write yourself (U-Write ticket).
Employees who are required to use more than one u-write ticket due to a change in flight number will be charged the AIF and Security taxes based on the origin airport. To ensure that the connection airport taxes are waived the employee must write ‘CNX’ on both coupons used on the trip.
While the taxes will be waived for the second coupon, you will be charged the applicable service charge plus any applicable fees and taxes for each coupon/sector.
2. Positive Space Travel
Positive space travel for employees and their eligible dependants is possible by paying 50% of the VNORTH fare in Economy Class at the time of ticketing. Reservations and ticketing are subject to all applicable rules and restrictions for the applicable fare.
Access to industry discount travel may be available on other carriers, as specified in the Pass Travel Information section on the Intranet and in Appendix A.
EFFECTIVE: 15Feb09 Page 3 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
C. EMPLOYEE BUSINESS TRAVEL
1. Business Travel on Canadian North
When traveling on legitimate company business on Canadian North, the employee occupies a confirmed seat on the aircraft. Travel priority information is contained in Section D of this pass travel policy.
If the employee wishes to travel on a flight where the proper booking inventory is not available and a seat cannot be confirmed, the employee may travel on a space available basis with a S0 priority in Y class. If there are not enough seats to accommodate all the S0 priority travelers, those standing by to travel may determine amongst themselves who must travel based on need rather than seniority. If necessary, the most senior manager at the gate may make the final decision.
If you wish to travel standby on a flight where confirmed space is not available, you may not hold space on another flight as back-up.
For Canadian North non-revenue business travel, employees complete and use the blue Quick Tickets (U-Write tickets) when traveling on S0, PAY and PBY priority when deadheading or on Company business. See Section H for details on proper completion of “U-Write” tickets.
Effective February 1, 2009, a U-Write ticket will no longer be required to travel on Company business. Employees must book in “N” class for the flight prior to check-in. Employees may check in by presenting their Company ID/Travel Card or Airport Security pass issued under Canadian North.
2. Business Travel on Other Airlines
See the Pass Travel Information section on the Intranet for business travel procedures on other airlines.

D. CANADIAN NORTH BOARDING PRIORITIES
1. General
Those traveling on a service charge ticket or a reduced rate fare are given a boarding priority code to advise the gate agent at the airport who should be boarded first, second, etc. Immediate family members have the same boarding priority as the employee when the employee is traveling for pleasure.
On Canadian North, boarding priorities are established first by the boarding code, then by the date of hire with the company. Canadian North employees who are eligible spouses of one another may travel for pleasure on the boarding priority and date of hire of the spouse with the higher boarding priority. If boarding priorities are the same, the employee with a later date of hire may travel on the date of hire of the spouse with the earlier date of hire. This includes dependant children where applicable. The “S” code as well as the employee’s date of hire determine boarding priorities for employee guest(s).
NOTE: Boarding priorities are subject to change.
2. Pleasure Travel Boarding Priorities
Following are the boarding priorities for space available pleasure travel on Canadian North:
Standby Company Business Travel S0 Prizewinners and others as issued S1 Officers, Employees, Spouse and Dependants, S3 Designated Travel Companion Employees on Layoff, Maternity Leave/Parental Leave, S3 Layoff, LTD, WCB, Leave of Absence and Severed Employees and Dependants. Parents / Parents-In-Law S4 Employee Guests and, Retired Employees, Spouse and S5 Dependants Other Airline Employees / Contract Employees S8

E. CANADIAN NORTH ID/TRAVEL CARD

This card serves as Company identification and allows employee access to travel related privileges including service charge and reduced rate travel, discounts offered by car rental agencies, tour operators, hotel and transportation services to airports, where applicable.
The card is issued upon commencement of employment with the Company and remains the property of Canadian North. The card must be surrendered upon the request of the employee’s manager.
Employees are responsible for advising Payroll in YZF of any changes in spouse and dependant status. Failure to advise Payroll including personal information such as address, telephone number, etc., may result in the suspension of travel privileges or full fare billing for unauthorized travel.

The applicable Unaccompanied Minor fee for each direction of travel must also be paid. Eligible children must also carry government issued identification such as a birth certificate.
9. Guests
The Canadian North Guest Pass is to be used by an employee’s family and friends only. For security reasons, do not offer or give away Guest passes to people that you do not know personally.
All full-time and part-time employees will receive twelve (12) one-way trips per calendar year for family members or friends, after six (6) months of continuous employment. No registration or designation is required.
If the origin to destination travel for your Guest requires more than one coupon due to a change in flight number, it will be assumed they have only used one coupon per one-way travel for the purpose of coupon allotment and applicable taxes. The employee will be considered to have used only one (1) coupon each way and will be still eligible for an additional five (5) return guest trips during the year. A request for replacement of the coupons must be sent by EFFECTIVE: Amendment 4 - 26May09 Page 12 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
comat to Margaret Mackay at YYCOO5T. Include a copy of the PNR with your request.
The employee will only be charged the AIF and security taxes based on the origin airport for each one-way date of travel. To ensure that the fees and taxes are waived, the employee must write “CNX” on both coupons used on the one-way trip. While the taxes will be waived for the second coupon, you will be charged the applicable service charge for each coupon/sector.
For example, if your Guest travels from YYC to YFB via YZF on Monday and returns Friday from YFB to YYC via YZF, “CNX” must be written on both coupons used on each one-way trip. YZF taxes will then be waived. The Guest must use two coupons for each one-way travel if there is a change in flight number. After travel is completed, the employee may send a copy of the PNR to Margaret Mackay, YYCOO5T, with a request for replacement for one of those used coupons.
Casual and Temporary employees are not eligible for Guest passes.
The boarding station must be presented with the original guest pass coupon or receive a fax prior to flight departure with a copy of the completed guest pass coupon in order for a pass traveler to board. If neither is received by the boarding station, the pass traveler will be denied boarding. The pass traveler may purchase a revenue ticket which could be refunded by having the employee send the revenue ticket receipt plus a guest pass coupon to Passenger Revenue Accounting.
Guests travel at an S5 boarding priority and the employee’s date of hire.
Note: As Guest Passes are year-specific, new passes are distributed to your manager in December of each year for the following year. If your guest is traveling outbound in December, and returning in January, the inbound travel must be completed by January 15. If a guest is returning after this date then they must use the new-year guest passes.
For example, the Guest is traveling YZFYEG / 23DEC09, on passes valid for 2009. If they are planning to return YEGYZF prior to 15JAN10, they may use a 2009 guest pass, however, if they are returning 16JAN10, they must use a 2010 guest pass.

I. GENERAL TRAVEL POLICIES
1. Proper Documentation and Identification
Service charge and industry discount pass travelers are reminded that it is their own personal responsibility, as it is for any airline pass traveler, to ensure they have all the proper travel documents, visas, passport, identification (i.e. birth certificate, student card, driver’s license, etc.) and sufficient funds for their planned travel on Canadian North and interline carriers. They must also ensure they have proper documentation in the event they are deplaned or rerouted enroute.
2. Dress Standards
Specific dress code policies for many interline carriers are not always available. Pass travelers on reduced rate passes on other carriers who do not conform to each carrier’s specific policy may be denied boarding.
In general a neat, clean and well-groomed appearance is required while traveling on reduced rate passes on Canadian North and interline.
It is recognized that styles change and that individuals will have their own opinion of what is acceptable. However, Canadian North requests that employees, their spouses, dependants and guests, dress in a manner that represents the standards of our airline.
Airport customer service agents have the authority to deny boarding to any individual whose attire does not conform to the outlined guidelines.
Notwithstanding the dress code below, in recognition of the extreme winter conditions in the north, employees are permitted to wear boots which are clean and in good condition on Canadian North flights.
The dress code below does not state what should be worn but rather what is unacceptable. Dress cannot be altered in flight.
Clothing: - beach clothing, sports attire including sweat pants, jogging suits, rugby pants or work-out clothing. - tank-tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts, muscle or aloha shirts. - shorts, leggings, very short mini skirts. - attire which is revealing, tight-fitting, see-through or exposes the midriff - must be clean and in good condition with no holes, patches, frays or jagged edges.
EFFECTIVE: Amendment 5 – 06Jul09 Page 24 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
Footwear: - athletic footwear, including runners and sport sandals. - beach wear, including flip flops - hiking or combat style lace-up or velcro boots - men’s shoes without socks - must be clean and in good condition.
Children (under 12) should be well groomed and well dressed in clothing suitable for travel.
3. Pass Travel Manners and Conduct
Reduced rate pleasure travel is a privilege and must be treated as such.
Customer service agents and flight attendants are focused on serving revenue passengers. Pass travelers should make their job as easy as possible.
Check-in early, have all the required documentation ready to present and fully completed u-write tickets.
At the gate, pass travelers should leave seats in lounge area closest to the gate for the convenience of revenue passengers or, if the lounge is full, stand as a courtesy to the revenue passengers.
Do not disrupt the gate agent’s work. They are busy getting revenue passengers on the flight and preparing it for on-time departure. If a seat has not been assigned, only approach the gate agent when paged.
When it is time for flight departure, pass travelers should board after all revenue passengers. If the aircraft is boarded by row number, pass travelers should board after the revenue passengers in that section, unless the flight is boarded by row number.
To facilitate inflight service while on board, pass travelers should remain seated and only leave their seats if necessary to make use of the washrooms.
Pass travelers must not leave their seat and enter the flight deck uninvited.
Inappropriate conduct or unreasonable demands which disturb revenue passengers including but not limited to excessive drinking, noise, monopolizing flight attendant’s or customer service agent’s attention with discussion of Company affairs, matters pertaining to the safety of the flight operation, or reduced rate transportation may result in disciplinary measures, up to and including loss of pass privileges for the employee.
EFFECTIVE: Amdmt 06 – 01Jan10 Page 25 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
All pass travelers, including guests, should be aware that although they have listed for a flight, a meal may not be available. Catering requirements are based on confirmed passenger counts only. If there are surplus meals after all confirmed passengers have been served, they may be offered to pass travelers in order of seniority. Employees traveling on business passes should have a meal catered for them provided the booking was made 24 hours prior to scheduled departure time. However, be cognizant of our revenue passengers and willing to wait until all revenue passengers have been served in the event of a shortage.
Pass travelers are required to deplane with consideration for all revenue passengers.
Anyone traveling on reduced rate passes cannot accumulate travel points such as Aeroplan, Air Miles, etc.
It is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that everyone traveling on the employee’s passes is aware of the procedures and follows them. The employee may lose pass privileges if someone traveling on the employee’s passes disrupts a flight or the customer service agents’ or flight attendants’ duties. If the offense is serious enough, the employee’s employment with Canadian North may be terminated.
4. Check-in Procedures
The boarding station must be presented with the original pleasure pass coupon or receive a fax prior to flight departure with a copy of the completed pleasure pass coupon in order for a pass traveler to board. If neither is received by the boarding station, the pass traveler will be denied boarding. The pass traveler may purchase a revenue ticket which could be refunded by having the employee send the revenue ticket receipt plus a pleasure pass coupon to Passenger Revenue Accounting in YZF.
All pass travelers on service charge passes or industry discount tickets should check in early; for flights within Canada at least one hour prior to the scheduled departure time; for U.S. destination flights at least two hours prior to the scheduled departure time; and for international flights at least 2.5 hours prior to scheduled departure time to complete the required clearance, customs, etc.
Always check in and obtain your boarding pass at regular economy counters no matter what type of pass you are traveling on. Initial check-in is normally not available at the gate unless otherwise directed by an agent.
Please ensure that your U-Write tickets are completed in full prior to presenting them to the check-in agent at the airport. EFFECTIVE: Amendment 4 - 26May09 Page 26 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
Guests must have their U-Write tickets completed in full, and in their possession prior to travel. If the guest is traveling from another city, it is the responsibility of the employee to ensure their guests have the tickets available prior to travel. Failure to comply may result in the guest being denied boarding until they receive their tickets.
When checking in, pass travelers must present identification to the agent with the pass/ticket coupons. Acceptable ID for an employee traveling on Canadian North and interline carriers is the Canadian North ID/Travel card; for all other travelers 12 years of age or older acceptable ID is one piece of valid government-issued photo identification which includes the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender or two pieces of valid government-issued non-photo identification which includes the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender.
It is strongly recommended that government issued identification with the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender be available for presentation for all children under the age of 12.
Verify any special airport information such as wheelchair assistance.
Advise the agent the total number of people in your party and if you are willing to travel separately if the need arises.
Each employee must check in individually but an employee may check in for his or her entire family.
5. Baggage Allowance
Employees, their spouses, dependants and parents (S3 and S4) will be eligible to check-in one (1) additional piece of luggage free of charge, note this policy is subject to change. Excess baggage charges for pass travelers traveling on service charge reduced rate transportation will be assessed at the normal excess baggage rate without reduction. Carry-on baggage rules also apply to pass travelers.
Employees are required to supply their own kennels for live animals and pets. Employees are exempt from excess baggage charges for the carriage of pets, note, this policy is subject to change. Employees are subject to the same carriage rules as revenue passengers, refer to procedures for traveling with animals on the Company website.
All checked baggage must have identification on the outside. A duplicate ID tag is also recommended for the inside of each checked piece of luggage. EFFECTIVE: Amendment 5 – 06Jul09 Page 27 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
Claims for damaged, delayed or lost baggage for employees traveling on passes or reduced rate tickets are to be processed in the same manner as regular fare paying passengers by Canadian North.
Pass traveler baggage will be accommodated at the same time as our customers and must be claimed immediately upon arrival. Travel pass holders should be aware that at times their baggage may be loaded only if space permits and may not necessarily be loaded on the same flight.
Pass travelers are encouraged to avoid the use of overhead bins, leaving them free for revenue customers. Carry-on baggage should be of a size that permits under seat stowage.
6. At the Gate
Arrive at the gate by the time indicated on the boarding pass and least 30 minutes before domestic departures, 45 minutes before transborder departures and 60 minutes before to international departures.
If you have been given a confirmed boarding pass with an assigned seat, do not recheck at the gate. Follow normal boarding procedures unless paged and advised differently.
If you have not been given a confirmed seat upon check in you are not required to hand in your boarding pass to the gate agent. Take a seat and wait to be paged. If a seat becomes available the gate agent will page you. Once paged, claim your new boarding pass and proceed on board. If you do not claim the seat after being paged, the seat will be offered to the next standby customer.
Prior to boarding, all pass travelers 12 years of age and older must present one piece of valid government-issued photo identification which includes the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender or two pieces of valid government-issued non-photo identification which includes the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender.
It is strongly recommended that government issued identification with the pass traveler’s name as it appears on the boarding pass, date of birth and gender be available for presentation for all children under the age of 12.
As regulations regarding identity screening change, it is recommended that identification requirements be verified on the Transport Canada website www.passengerprotect.gc.ca/identity.html prior to travel.
EFFECTIVE: Amendment 5 – 06Jul09 Page 28 Canadian North Employee Travel Policy
If you are not cleared for travel on a flight once the flight has departed, the gate agent will automatically transfer all remaining standbys to the next flight with the same destination unless you advise the agent differently.
7. Being “Bumped” Enroute
If a flight is overbooked revenue passengers will normally be offered denied boarding compensation. When you are traveling positive space, such an overbooking situation may be brought to your attention and you may be asked to deplane. In circumstances where you are not requested to deplane but hear an announcement asking for volunteers for Denied Boarding Compensation you should consider identifying yourself and re-booking for the next available flight. Yield Management monitors flights and in the event Denied Boarding Compensation is paid to a revenue passenger and a non- revenue positive business passenger chose to travel on that flight, Yield Management may contact the appropriate Manager for an explanation of travel.
Keep in mind that although there are times when it is imperative for you to travel; there are also times when your plans can and should be changed to ensure that a revenue passenger is accommodated. Should such a situation occur, your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
If a pass traveler is asked to deplane enroute or is not accepted on a flight because the aircraft is full (referred to as being “bumped”), they must return to the gate agent where all listings will be transferred to the next flight to the same destination. If they do not wish to be transferred, the gate agent must be advised, otherwise proceed to the next flight departure gate.
Original time of check in will be retained for those employees with same date of hire and same boarding priority.
If you have prepared in advance and have back up tickets on other airlines you may wish to utilize your options.
It is the employee’s responsibility to inform persons who benefit from their travel privileges about the preceding protocol.
Canadian North assumes no responsibility for any costs incurred for meals, hotels, or flights due to weather, mechanical problems or inability to travel due to a full flight. Furthermore, in the case of employee travel, it is the employee’s responsibility to ensure that they report for their next scheduled shift.
