Dear Mr. Nelson: 

This will confirm our discussions concerning the Conductor‑Only Crew Consist negotiations. 

It is agreed the following changes shall be applicable with the effective date of this agreement: 

                1. The time employees may remain on a "Bump Board" prior to exercising seniority will be no more than forty-eight (48) hours. 

2. When it is necessary to force-fill a vacancy, the Carrier need not make such forcing action for forty-eight (48) hours. 

                3. Once an employee is recalled from a Reserve Board, the employee is considered "in the pipeline" and must complete the cycle even if the recall is subsequently cancelled and even if the employee has yet to "mark up". Reserve Board assignments will be made only per application rules in force. 

                 4. An employee on a "Bump Board" may temporarily exercise seniority to a vacancy and may remain on the assignment until it is fined in accordance with existing rules or for 48 hours, whichever is less. Upon release, the employee will return to the "Bump Board" with any remaining "Bump Board Time" still intact. 

If the foregoing adequately sets forth our understanding and agreement, please so indicate by signing in the space provided below. 

Yours truly,

L.A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
