ASSIGNED TRAIN WINDOW Clause Samples

ASSIGNED TRAIN WINDOW. Upon discussion between the BLET Local Chairman and Division Management with concurrence of the General Chairman and HDO, a Regular Assignment may be established for Engineers to operate a designated train within a window at the home and away from home terminal under the following conditions. 1. Regular assigned runs will have a designated home and away from home terminal identifying a designated train and assigned starting time at both the home and away from home terminal. 2. The Engineer can be placed on duty on the designated train within a six (6) hour on duty window beginning with the designated start time. Engineers will not be responsible to protect service in advance of the advertised window. 3. Upon the expiration of the six (6) hour window, the Engineer will be paid on a minute basis at the pro rata rate of pay until placed on duty by the 8th hour beyond the assigned start time. 4. If the designated train is not scheduled to operate within the identified timeframe, the engineer may be used on another train operating to the designated home/away from home terminal within the assigned window, or deadheaded. 5. If not called at the expiration of the time frames outlined above, the Engineer may be deadheaded to the objective terminal, or annulled. 6. If not used or deadheaded at the expiration of the above time frame at the home terminal, the Engineer will be paid trip rates for the round trip. If not used at the expiration of the above time frame at the away from home terminal, the Engineer will be released from duty and paid the applicable trip rate to deadhead to the home terminal. 7. If the Engineer is run on another train, and the designated train is run within the identified timeframe defined in 3 above, the Engineer will be paid a penalty day in addition to all other earnings for the trip. 8. In the event a crew is held beyond the identified timeframe, as defined in 3 above, due to an emergency as defined in the Note listed in Article 81, Section 2 (E)(2), the Engineer will be paid on a minute basis until again called for duty. EXAMPLE: The Q 100 train has an assigned start time of 0400 out of the home/away from home terminal. If not placed on duty by 1000 hours, the Engineer will commence pay per paragraph 3 of this Article. If not placed on duty to work/deadhead in accordance with the identified timeframe, the Engineer will be annulled and paid accordingly.
