We have around 2200 pilots right now (we'll use that number).
Let's just say all 2200 pilots elected HBA participation. Remember, you still have HBA eligiblity if you don't WAIVE your HBA rights even if you live and work at a domicile.
The company may limit the # of HBA pilots to 30% on the most current seniority list.
IF the company did limit participation to 30%, then we would need to hire 5,135 pilots before the very first pilot hired after TA ratification would be allowed to HBA it. We would need 7,335 pilots on the seniority list...with only 2,200 "guaranteed" the use of the HBA system.
7,335 * .3 = 2200.5 (30% of the "current seniority list")
If you are hired and the company insists that you report to a domicile, just tell them no. The company CAN offer a newhire HBA participation to new hires if they can't get enough new pilots on property. Of course, a no might mean you don't get the job so it all depends on whether you want to move or not.
That's how I read it.
"13.1(b) Home Base Airport Participation
The Company may limit Crewmember participation in the Home Base Airport system to thirty (30) percent of the total number of Crewmembers on the most current seniority list, including crewmembers who have relinquished Home Base Airport rights pursuant to Section 13.2(b). Such percentage may be less than thirty (30) percent if crewmembers designate Domiciles, or more than thirty (30) percent because of grandfather rights as defined in Section 13.1(a)."
