Thereafter, vacation time shall be on a rotation basis beginning with the next most senior Member having first choice.
(d) The choice of vacation time by seniority referred to in clause 41.4 (b) is to be implemented only when a problem may occur in a department whereby two or more Members have chosen the same vacation period and it is necessary that one of those Members must be available to maintain the efficient operation of the department.

ANNUAL VACATIONS 15.01 Employees shall be entitled to an annual vacation after one (1) year of employment with pay, calculated as follows:
(a) 3/52nds of the earnings of that year of service after one (1) year and each subsequent year thereafter, up to and including five (5) completed years of service;
(b) 4/52nds of the earnings for the year commencing after five (5) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter, up to ten (10) completed years of service;
(c) 5/52nds of the earnings after ten (10) completed years of service and each subsequent year thereafter.
15.02 For other than full-time employees, all vacation pay will be paid to employees on December 15th in each year unless the employee requests vacation pay when a holiday is taken. In such circumstances, the employee will receive vacation pay requested at that time or a portion of the payment at that time and the balance on December 15th. Part-time employees will be allowed to make two (2) such requests per year based on earnings to June 30th. Full-time employees will receive vacation pay when they take their vacation.

15.07 A vacation list shall be submitted to the employees requesting them to indicate their preference as to vacation dates. Both parties agree, however, that the vacation schedule must be practical insofar as the operation of the business is concerned and therefore the Employer is able to make a final decision as to how many and which employees would be able to take vacation at any particular time. Seniority shall prevail in the event of a conflict of vacation requests between employees.
VACATIONS (a) Employees will be entitled to and receive vacation allowance in accordance with the following:
(1) As used in this Article the term “year” is used to mean a calendar year.
(2) The following vacation allowance will apply for employees: Length of service as of December 31 of any year Accrual rate per month during the year ending December 31 Maximum vacation accrual Less than 5 years ½ work day 5 work days 5 years but less than 10 years 1 work days 10 work days 10 years but less than 17 years 1 ½ work days 15 work days 17 years but less than 25 years 2 work days 20 work days 25 years and over 2 ½ work days 25 work days
(3) In computing vacation eligibility under this Article: In any calendar month, fifteen (15) calendar days or more of service with the Company will be considered a full month and less than fifteen (15) calendar days will not be considered. Fractions of one-half a day or more of earned vacation will be considered as entitling the employee to a full day’s vacation and fractions of less than one- half a day will not be considered.
(b) The pay for such vacation will be at the pay, which the employee would normally have received at his regular hourly rate at the time the vacation is taken.
(c) An employee may select his vacation in its entirety in weekly increments. Preference for the period in which an employee will be permitted to take his vacations will be granted within each work unit in the order of Company seniority provided, however, that vacation schedules may be so arranged within each work group to not interfere with the requirements of the service. The Company will post requests for vacation preference for the following year on Company bulletin boards not later than October 15th of each year and employees eligible will list their preference not later than November 15th. The vacation periods will be assigned and posted on Company bulletin boards by December 1st, whenever possible. Any employee not expressing a preference will be assigned a vacation, if eligible. Except in emergency, an employee’s vacation will commence immediately following his regularly scheduled days off.
(d) Vacation allowances will not be cumulative and vacation time to which an employee becomes entitled on December 31 of any calendar year will be forfeited unless taken during the following year. However, if an employee is requested by the Company in writing to forego his vacation during the year in which it is to be taken and has not received it by the end of that year, the employee will be entitled to his deferred vacation during the succeeding calendar year or to pay in lieu of same at the option of the employee, subject to the requirements of the service.
(e) An employee who takes a leave or leaves of absence which exceeds or the total of which exceeds sixty (60) calendar days during any calendar year will have his vacation allowance to which he becomes entitled on December 31 of that year reduced by his monthly accrual rate as outlined in (a) above for each thirty (30) calendar days of said leave or the total of the leaves which exceeds sixty (60) calendar days. However, no deduction from vacation allowance will be made for leaves of absence granted due to injury sustained while on duty. However, no employee will be required to use his vacation while on IOD. An employee will choose from open vacation periods if any exist. Vacations not able to be accommodated by reassignment to an open week by the end of the calendar year will be paid out at the end of that calendar year.
(1) In the event of termination of employment with the Company, an employee who has completed six (6) months of service with the Company will be paid for vacation not previously taken to which he became entitled as of the preceding December 31. All vacation accrued since December 31 of the preceding year will be paid as follows: Months of Accrual Rate 1/2 Day 1 Day 1 1/2 Days 2 Days 2 1/2 Days Svc in year of Term. Rate = X of Days Pay X = 5/12ths X = 5/6ths X = 1 1/4th X = 1 2/3rds X = 2 1/12th
(2) An employee who fails to give two (2) weeks’ notice of resignation in writing, and the notice is not waived by the Company in writing, or who is discharged for confiscation of Company funds or property, will not be paid for any vacation not yet taken.
(g) An employee who has completed six (6) months of service with the Company, has been laid off, has been paid for all vacation due him at the time of termination, and who is subsequently recalled to work will accrue vacation allowance from the date of his reemployment in accordance with paragraph (a) (2).
(h) An employee who has not completed six (6) months of service at the time he is laid off and who is therefore not entitled to vacation termination pay will, if reemployed within a period of time from layoff not exceeding his previous service, be granted vacation credit for service prior to the layoff. In no case will the vacation to which the employee becomes entitled on December 31 of that year exceed ten (10) workdays.
(i) An employee who has been awarded or assigned a vacation period will not have his vacation dates changed without his consent, unless he is notified of such change in writing thirty (30) days in advance of the starting date of his vacation. This will not apply in case of emergency; that is, an Act of God, a national war emergency, revocation of the Company’s operating certificate or certificates, grounding of a substantial number of the Company’s aircraft for safety reasons, and airworthiness reasons which may threaten grounding of aircraft in the fleet.
(j) An employee’s scheduled days off during the week immediately following his vacation will be the same as his scheduled days off immediately preceding his vacation.
(k) Vacation allowance and rate of accrual for part time employees will be governed by the provisions of Article 43.
