Student Engineer Training and Territorial Familiarization and Qualification Trips. Firemen on a district will commence student engineer training in seniority order. The provisions of Article XIII of the October 31, 1985 Agreement notwithstanding, firemen will be placed in other than "must-fill" service for the acquisition of engineer training and territorial qualification trips as hereinafter set forth. Such trips are expected to be in service contemplated by Item 1 of the April 11, 1970, Simulator Agreement as revised. However, not more than two trips in yard service, five trips in local freight/road switcher service and ten trips in helper service will be counted toward the minimum of sixty Phase One trips. Round trips in regular or interdivisional pool freight service will be counted as one trip in each direction. After completion of the training program, a fireman with seniority established as such after October 31, 1985, will have the right to exercise seniority as such limited to service contemplated by Article XIII of the October 31, 1985 UTU National Agreement, as amended.
