Section 25, Part 14, Para B:
Open time within BES will be assigned in the following order:
1. To a Lineholder who is on Company Business Available status.
2. To a Lineholder on RX duty status.
3. To a Lineholder on RA duty status.
4. To an available Reserve.
5. In seniority order to available Lineholders who have indicated that they desire
to be Junior Manned.
6. Junior assigned to a Lineholder in reverse order of seniority (Junior Manning). Junior Manning will be implemented for open Trip coverage only when priorities 1 through 5 have been exhausted, or within three (3) hours of scheduled departure time. A Lineholder who will be required to drop a Trip Pairing which would generate an additional Junior Manning requirement will be bypassed in the first attempt at coverage. Crew Scheduling, when notifying a pilot of such an assignment will clearly state that he is being Junior Manned. All assignments made under the provisions of this Paragraph will be fully documented by Crew Scheduling and forwarded to the System Chief Pilot within twenty-four (24) hours, with an information copy to the affected pilot, the Association, and his Base Chief Pilot within forty-eight (48) hours.
7. After the above steps have been exhausted, a pilot may be used in a lower Status.
My understanding is that due to LCAL manning, it doesn't take much to hit item 7.
