Common use of Additional Reserves Clause in Contracts

Additional Reserves. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company from increasing position assignments for reserve coverage in excess of the seven percent (7%) as set forth in Article Cancellation of Review A Review may be cancelled by the prior to but not on or after the bid closing date. A subsequent Review will be posted during the same period or as soon as possible thereafter with respect to necessary time periods required between posting and closing dates as detailed elsewhere in Article A regular vacancy is created as a result of an insufficient number of pilots assigned to a position. A reduction exists whenever the number of pilots currently assigned to a position plus any vacancies existing for that position are in excess of the number of pilots required. A forced reduction is a reduction that must be assigned, in reverse order of seniority, as a result of reductions remaining during the bid process. Only pilots who are forced to take such reductions will be deemed to be "forced to reduce" from their position. A subsequent vacancy or reduction is a vacancy or reduction (as defined above in and 25.03.03) created as a result of a change in a pilot's awarded position during a bid award and will not be posted but automatically during the bid award process. Vacancies and reductions will be posted on all Article Bulletin Boards following each Review showing reasons and dates as applicable. While vacancies are normally posted after they have occurred, retirements and surplus (planned furloughs) can be posted up to one year in advance. Posting of vacancies and reductions must take place in adequate time so as to ensure that the closing date will not be less than fifteen (15) days or two (2) days longer than the longest pairing in the system, whichever is greater, from the date of posting. The closing date for all vacancies and reductions shall be chosen to fall within the next available Bid Period as detailed in Article and will be announced with the release of the next Review.
