The determination University will notify the Union of seniority number will recognize current employment with other Skyservice divisions or companies. A new Flight Crew Member transferring to its intent regarding the airline division will be awarded posting of an open position. B. University Seniority is based on the lowest (most senior) seniority number length of continuous service an employee has within any group classification covered by this Agreement. Job Classification Seniority shall be defined as the total length of Flight Crew Members hired simultaneouslyservice within a particular job classification covered by this Agreement, whether continuous or not, and occurs upon the award of a permanent job bid. Where Seniority shall be accumulated during absence for a period not in excess of two (2) years, as long as seniority is not terminated in accordance with other provisions of the Agreement. In the case of a lay off in any job classification, the least senior employee in such job classification shall be laid off using job classification seniority. Such employee may then use his/her seniority, if any, in any other equal or lower paying job classification to bump a less senior employee in that classification. Such bumped employee may then exercise their job classification seniority in any other job classification, so that the least senior employee in any job classification will be the employee who is actually laid off. In the event an employee facing xxxxxx has no classification seniority in any other job, the University will allow that employee to bid on other vacant position(s) in accordance with Article V. This paragraph contemplates that the employees only have the right to bump others in a job classification, if they have actually worked and obtained job classification seniority through a permanent bid in the job classification to which they are bumping. In the event of a recall in any job classification, persons previously laid off shall be recalled in reverse order of their lay off or bump in such job classification. Duquesne will give two (2) weeks notice to employees scheduled to be laid off. C.

The posting shall show the department where the vacancy exists, a general description of the job duties, the qualifications required, the default shift (hours and days of work) and the rate of pay. Temporary bid jobs will be reposted when they become permanent. Positions may not be posted with “variable days, variable hours” as the schedule. Recognizing that employees of the bargaining unit are located in other departments and Work Groups, the University will allow bidding between departments and Work Groups, including members who are currently laid off. The vacancy will be first awarded to employees who sign the bid, and who currently work in that job classification on a permanent basis, but on a different shift. The award will be based on job classification seniority, and the vacancy created will be posted. In the event there are no bidders within the same job classification, the vacancy will be awarded to the most senior bidder within the same work group based on university seniority. In the event there are no bidders within the same work group, the vacancy will be awarded to the most senior qualified bidder from the rest of the bargaining unit, based on university seniority. The successful bidder shall be prohibited from bidding on any vacancy other than a higher paying job classification for a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the award date. When a vacancy has been posted and filled by a bid, the vacancy created by the successful bid will be posted as shall any subsequent vacancy which reflects a change in job classifications. Any vacancy which cannot be filled by this bidding process will be filled in accordance with Article II A within 30 days. If the University needs additional time to fill the position, it will notify the Union before the expiration of the 30- day time period, and provide an explanation of the reason for the extension and an estimate of the amount of additional time needed. The University will determine the effective date for awarding each job posting. Successful bidders will be paid the new rate of pay as of the date of the award, which shall also establish an employee’s new job classification seniority date. Duquesne shall use a trial period of up to 30 work days as a means of determining ability and qualifications of an employee in filling a vacancy in an equal or higher job classification through an internal posting. The employee shall use the same time period to determine their desire to remain in the new position. Employees vacating these positions during the trial period will be returned to the position they formerly held. This does not apply to shift changes in the same job classification. Every consideration will be given to current employees when filling any vacancy, whether permanent, temporary or summer. For lateral pay moves to a different Work Group or promotions to higher paid jobs, the best qualified candidate will be hired. University seniority will be the determining factor when two or more Flight Crew Member’s applicants possess relatively equal qualifications. The University will give due consideration to time spent by current employees in summer jobs when filling permanent positions. Duquesne supervisors will be responsible for determining the qualifications necessary for the job and for judging those qualifications of the same status have applicants. Such judgments are subject to the grievance procedure. Work Leader positions will be awarded to the most qualified candidate who bids on the position. University seniority will be the determining factor when two or more applicants possess relatively equal qualifications. Duquesne supervisors will be responsible for determining the qualifications necessary for the job and for judging those qualifications of the applicants. Such judgments are subject to the grievance procedure. D. When employees share a common seniority date within classification, their hiring date shall govern. If they share a common hiring date, the order of preference will be determined as follows: 1.
