Pilots. 22.1 A locomotive engineer in charge of an engine ordered over any subdivision with which he is not familiar will be furnished with a locomotive engineer as pilot in addition to engine crew, provided such subdivision is not under construction. Note: In the application of paragraph 22.1 of this article, the number of trips over a particular subdivision during which a locomotive engineer is considered "familiar" with such subdivisions will be subject of local agreement between the appropriate officer of the Company and the Local Chairman of the Brotherhood. In the event the local Company and Brotherhood Officers cannot agree to the determination of such number of trips, the matter will be resolved by the District Manager and the General Chairman of the Brotherhood. If, as a result of the above discussions, the matter is still not resolved the Company may determine the number of trips which it considers adequate, subject to the right of the General Chairman to process the dispute as a grievance directly at Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure. In such proceedings, the burden will be on the Company to show that the number of trips for which a pilot is furnished is adequate.
