such flight shall not be required to stand by and shall
be relieved of duty at his/her request, provided that
other flight attendants are available to replace him/her

desiring to be relieved shall remain on duty until the
relief flight attendant reports for duty. A flight
attendant exercising this option shall forfeit any pay
and credit that may be accumulated under Paragraphs J.
