Can higher seniority bump a bid driver?

Been around the block a few times
I don’t understand what you don't understand. He can bump the lowest seniority driver within the loop. That's SWPR language, it varies by area which is why @542thruNthru was asking what JC or rider you're under. Basic western language says you can follow the majority of work if seniority allows, work utility, or take the day.

And for as long as I can remember, the sanctity of the bid could not be violated.
It did not matter if someone had seniority on you, you had the bid for that route.
When the route was bid all drivers have the opportunity to sign up for it. If they chose not to, they can’t come along later on and say….oh I want that route now.
They had their chance and they passed.

Not everyone has a lifetime bid

When we bid every 2 years you could bid a permanent run or bid as a swing driver. Swing drivers picked what was available per day by seniority. Usually those were the guys who wanted to go home as much as possible.

Until August 2023 that was probably right.
