11. The Open Time CAP:
a. Seniority for awards in MOT, DOT/POT, and HOT/POT and SNOT will be subordinated when a pilot's projected bid period TFP exceeds one hundred eighteen percent (118%) of the domicile bid line average. This is referred to as the CAP.
For example, when a one hundred fifteen (115) TFP CAP is in effect, a pilot who has one hundred fourteen (114) TFP actual or projected may exercise his seniority for one (1) additional Open Time award. This award may be any number of TFP. A pilot who has exceeded the CAP will still be able to bid Open Time, but his seniority will be subordinated to those who have not exceeded the CAP. Seniority will prevail among those who are over the CAP in the event the additional flying is not picked up by pilots under the CAP.
