Ummm.... what?


G. Awarding Positions
1. The awarding of vacancies and/or reductions will be determined
as follows from the bid preference forms on file at the
time of the closing, using seniority or inverse seniority order
as applicable, so that when the process is complete, all pilots
will be in the most senior position on their bid preference
form that they can hold consistent with the provisions of this
Section:
a. If there are only position vacancies, they will be awarded
in seniority order (both posted and resultant).
b. If there are only position reductions, they will be awarded
in inverse order of seniority (both posted and resultant).
c. If there are position vacancies and position reductions,
then all position vacancies (both posted and resultant)
will be awarded first in seniority order, then, if any position
reductions are still indicated, they will be awarded in
inverse order of seniority (both posted and resultant).
2. A pilot who cannot hold his permanent position is considered
displaced. No pilot may be displaced by a pilot who is junior
to him. A displaced pilot, by order of seniority, will be afforded
the following options in selection of paragraph G.2.a. or
G.2.b. below, as indicated on the pilot’s bid preference form:
Section 24 – Filling of Vacancies

a. Captains and first officers may displace:
(1) The most junior pilot in the same category in the
system, or, if unavailable, then;
(2) A more junior pilot in the same status in another
aircraft type in the current domicile, or, if unavailable,
then;
(3) The most junior pilot in the same status in another
aircraft type in the system.
b. Alternatively, captains may displace:
(1) The most junior pilot in a lower status in the same
aircraft type in the same domicile or, if unavailable,
then;
(2) The most junior pilot in a lower status in another
aircraft type in the system.
