(2) Brakeman who is unable to hold a regular turn in pool service and elects to place himself on the freight brakemen's extra board at Cheyenne forfeits all rights to temporary or permanent vacancies in the Denver‑Laramie pool that existed at the time he made his election, but may exercise his seniority on any such vacancy that occurs after he has made his election.
