[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4974593, member: 45037"] Yeah, you'll have to get in a FT category first. PT can't bid on FT routes and vice-versa. What positions are those with less seniority vacating? Operational needs is right that you'll have to bid in Workday. Are all the AM routes filled? Were they filled internally? How is hiring/staffing at your location? There's some discretion at the station level how routes are staffed. Some locations bid every open route and others after 2 shifts/routes are bid, then they place the next person on the route left open to stop a seemingly never-ending rotation that makes scheduling more challenging. I am an advocate of bidding everything. It's better to give all current employees a chance for any opening. For me, if I would ever get to the point of an external hire (or even a transfer into the station) I would allow my PT to move to an opening. I just think it's better for the people there. It is not required and both approaches are within policy. There is nothing that can be done if existing employees are FT and they are taking all the open AM spots. What [I]could [/I]happen is a Workday posting for in station candidates only to make sure a FT from another location doesn't get it. If all the routes are being filled with FT from RESPONSE and PM moving within the station then there isn't anything within policy until you get in category. [/QUOTE]
