Common use of Buddy Bidding Clause in Contracts

Buddy Bidding. a. The Company shall provide the Buddy Bidding Option which allows for two (2) Flight Attendants to preference for and be awarded pairings for a month. b. Both Flight Attendants shall submit a current or default bid and indicate a preference for the other employee. The pairing(s) shall be awarded on the junior Flight Attendant's seniority provided that the senior Flight Attendant can hold the other position on the same pairing(s). c. Once the buddy bid link is established, the PBS logic will award positions to both buddies on as many pairings as are legal and available to both bidders using the junior buddy's bid and seniority. Should the logic be unable to build two (2) complete pairing lines with both bidders together on every awarded pairing, then the PBS logic will award remaining un-buddied pairings from the junior buddy's bid and seniority, in order to reach line completion. If the buddy bid link is never established, then each buddy will be awarded from his/her respective bids at their seniority. It is understood that in the event a buddy link is established but there are no pairings which can be awarded to both bidders, one buddy could be awarded a bid line while the other is awarded a reserve line.
