TOWERPERSONS. (1) Subway-Elevated trainpersons, yardpersons and stationpersons who make application for assignment to tower work, and who qualify to perform such work, will be appointed as extra towerpersons within the limits of the quota set by the Authority. Such extra towerpersons will be placed on the district tower work seniority list at the time they are qualified and appointed as towerpersons by the Authority. The Authority will assign tower work to extra towerpersons in accordance with these regulations. Any scheduled straight or swing run that is open is a hold-down and will be assigned to the first extra towerperson on the district tower work seniority list entitled to receive an open hold-down run and available for work on the day for which the first assignment is to be made. All hold-downs shall be picked each month by the extra towerpersons who are available to work such runs, in the order of their depot tower work seniority. The picking will commence on the Thursday preceding the first Sunday of the calendar month in which the runs so picked are to be worked. Any run becoming a hold-down after hold-down picking has started may only be picked by extra towerpersons who have not already picked a hold- down. The Authority will assign a hold-down to an extra towerperson who is qualified and next in the line to pick a hold-down who does not pick for any reason. Hold- downs picked shall be worked by the towerpersons picking them or to whom they are assigned for a period of one month, starting the Sunday following the commencement of the picking, or until the towerperson to whom the run is regularly assigned returns to work, if one returns to work within such month.
