Hi Kimberley
That is correct there is no change to L-AS ‘A’ position bidding.
The language applies to L-VX Flight Attendants only. It is a provision to transition the L-VX ‘ITL’ position to the L-AS ‘A’ position. It will be in effect for L-VX Flight Attendants from the second full bid month following DOR until early February 2019, when all Flight Attendants bid together for Full Integration in March of 2019.

Thank you for your time.
