Bid question

[cosis]

Would a recently transferred part-employee from another station win a route bid over another employee with less seniority? Was under the impression you had to be at the station a certain number of months before you could bid on a route.

Isn't it dependent on the offer letter the newer employee signed?

I think you lose your seniority for 6 months when you transfer. So if he’s been there for less than 6 months and bids on the route he would be lowest on the list.

thats what I thought. They gave it to the person that just transferred. Told him to fight it cuz it didn’t seem right.

You can transfer in with no restriction on bidding a new rte. All depends on the individual.

Not true. Depends on their offer letter.

You lose your seniority for 6 months when it comes to vacations. Bidding on a route depends on what your offer letter says.

I hope he didn't get the route over a FT courier that put in for it. THAT would open up another can of worms.

Not true. Depends on their offer letter.

And the offer letter would be specific to that individual who transfered....
