EXHIBIT G
Reasonable Operating Constraints
The schedules for the Covered Aircraft shall meet all of the following quarterly average requirements:
1. Minimum & Maximum Scheduling Parameters:
Minimum Maximum
Scheduled Block Hours per Aircraft per day [* ] [*]
Scheduled Cycles per Aircraft per day [*] [*]
Note: the above minimum and maximum schedule parameters apply only to those Covered Aircraft in scheduled service, not to the
Spare Aircraft.
2. Aircraft Maintenance and Crew Requirements.
Frontier agrees to take into consideration RAI’s operational requirements for overnight maintenance and crew productivity (including,
where feasible, mid-day flights into RAI crew base cities for crew exchanges) and legality.
(a) Frontier shall use its best efforts to produce a Final Monthly Schedule in cooperation with RAI that meets the following
location and minimum (block to block) hour requirements for overnight aircraft:
(i) one-quarter (but in no event fewer than one) of the scheduled Covered Aircraft will remain overnight at Denver
International Airport for normal maintenance (the “Required Denver RON Aircraft”);
(ii) one-half (but in no event fewer than one and otherwise rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the
Required Denver RON Aircraft will be scheduled to provide 9 hours of available maintenance time;
(iii) the remaining Required Denver RON Aircraft will in no event have fewer than 7 hours of available maintenance
time;
(iv) at least one day per week, one of the Required Denver RON Aircraft will be scheduled to provide at least 14
hours of available maintenance time (block to block)
(b) On the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, RAI will provide Frontier a listing of all scheduled heavy maintenance
for the next twelve month period for all Covered Aircraft, and will use commercially reasonable best efforts to complete all scheduled
heavy maintenance on the Aircraft during the four shoulder months of April, May, September and October.
3. Maintenance Bases.
RAI will establish a crew base and a maintenance base for line and overnight aircraft maintenance work at Denver International
Airport. The Denver maintenance base will be sufficient to perform intermediate maintenance checks, clear minimum equipment list
and configuration deviation list items, and perform general maintenance, trouble shooting, and component removals and repairs. RAI
will also advise Frontier of all other cities where RAI maintains line maintenance bases upon execution of this Agreement and any
overnight time requirements related to RAI’s line maintenance obligations.
4. Crew Overnights.
The schedule may allow for single overnights, multiple overnights, staged, and continuous duty overnights of crews in outstations,
provided, should Frontier schedule continuous duty overnights or staged crews, incremental hotel and per diem costs related to such
continuous duty overnights or staged crews will be billed by RAI to Frontier in arrears as a Pass Thru costs not subject to margin.
Frontier reserves the right to review RAI’s crew schedules to ensure efficient and economic crew scheduling and agrees to negotiate
economic settlement with RAI for schedule changes that materially affect crew utilization or line maintenance requirements.
