Current CBA:

14.1

If the Pilot on leave of absence does not return to the position within twelve (12) months the temporary position will convert to a permanent position. A Pilot who voluntary bids on a temporary vacancy within the twelve (12) month period and is assigned to the temporary vacancy will be awarded the permanent position following the expiration of the twelve (12) months.

Previous CBA:

14.1

Vacancies resulting from LOA's will be considered temporary and will be posted and assigned as such.  Pilots accepting such temporary positions will be subject to replacement by the returning LOA Pilot, at which time the displaced Pilot will be elible to bid on any other job opening within the Company.
