MILEAGE LAYOFF

16 STARTS ARE REQUIRED FOR MILEAGE LAYOFF

Your miles begin on your check date at 00:01 and ends at 23:59 the day before your check date. 

Example: Lets say your check date is the 5th, any tickets beginning 00:01 on the 5th count toward your starts. Once you reach 16 starts, you are allowed to layoff mileage (MIL). You must be marked up by 23:59 on the 4th, and once you mark up you cannot layoff again mileage.

The following count toward your starts. 

Working Ticket (1 start)

Deadhead (1 start)

Dogcatching (1 start)

ILT (1 start)

NetSIM (1 start)

If you layoff miles and get bumped while off and cannot hold the engineer quota and must return to demoted (ground service) status, you must mark up immediately. You must be working under the BLET agreement to observe a BLET allowance. Laying off Miles doesn’t stop notifications by the railroad Example: (being bumped, bid award). You must still take notification and place if bumped in your allowable timeframe per agreement. Miles don’t extend that notification period.
