23-D-1 When a reduction in the number of permanent positions takes place, the Company will notify all pilots. The Company will post the anticipated number of displacements including the status, equipment and domicile. Said displacement posting will indicate a bid closing time and date which will not be less than seven (7) days after posting.

23-D-2 Pilotsinthepositionsaffectedmaybevoluntarilydispla cedintheir order of preference in accordance with their system seniority. Pilots wishing to be voluntarily displaced shall so indicate on a Standing/Displacement bid form. If a pilot so indicates, he is stating he wishes to have his displacement preferences processed in seniority order prior to the process of reverse seniority order displacements.

23-D-3 A voluntarily displaced pilot will have the same vacancy and/or displacement rights as the pilot who would have been displaced, including, but not limited to, Section 5 "Expenses" and the provisions of this section. The most senior volunteer will use the most senior displaced-pilot's rights.

23-D-4 The Company will award voluntary displacements first. If reductions still remain, pilots will be involuntarily displaced in reverse seniority order.

23-D-5 Displaced from Domicile

23-D-5-a A pilot will be considered displaced from his domicile when he can no longer hold a position in that domicile in his status and equipment, but he can hold a position in that status and equipment system wide. When a pilot is displaced from his domicile as the result of a reduction or geographic relocation of pilot positions(s) he will have the following options in accordance with his seniority:

23-D-5-a-(1) Remain or return to (for up to 6 months) his current domicile in any status or equipment; or
23-D-5-a-(2) Occupy any position in his same status and equipment.
23-D-5-a-(3) Pilots displacing under Section 23-D-5-a above and pilots in that same status and equipment with standing or displacement bids for that status and equipment will be awarded or assigned concurrently, in order of seniority. Only after those pilots in the same status and equipment are awarded or assigned their positions will any remaining vacancies be awarded to pilots who
require training for the vacancy.

5-I Moving Expenses

5-I-1 An eligible pilot shall receive moving expenses (including shipping (excluding pack/unpack) and insurance) for household and personal goods based upon weight, not to exceed 9,000 pounds, from the previous domicile (provided such location is the pilot's principal residence) to the new domicile, or the pilot's principal residence to the new domicile, whichever is shorter. Moves under this section shall be coordinated through a Company approved moving vendor(s) and a designated Company representative.

5-I-2 In lieu of the moving expense in 5-I-1 above, the Company will reimburse an eligible pilot for the cost of a pre-approved self-move vehicle and associated expenses (fuel, boxes, packing supplies, hotel computed at one night for every 350 miles traveled up to three nights). Additionally, if a pilot elects this option, he shall be eligible for a five hundred-dollar ($500) allowance for incidentals. Moving expenses under this section shall be from the previous domicile (provided such location is the pilot's principal residence) to the new domicile, or the pilot's principal residence to the new domicile, whichever is shorter. Moves under this section will be coordinated through a Company approved self-move vendor.

5-I-3 Moving expenses as outlined in this subsection

5-I shall only be compensated upon proof of moving expenses incurred in moving.

5-J-2 If a lease is broken as a result of an involuntary move to a new domicile, and a penalty (which can be documented) is incurred, the Company will pay the penalty not to exceed one (1) month's rent. Should the Company improve the moving allowance for employees of another class or craft, the pilots will receive said moving allowance improvements.

Something to look over guys. If the company involuntarily displaces you to a new domicile, you are entitled to the following above. If you bid for the domicile, you are voluntarily moving there. Involuntary is defined as not on your bid preference.
