(a) Seniority as a pilot shall be based upon the length of service as a pilot with the Company or with other companies whose operations have been taken over by the Company, prior to the signing of this agreement.

(b) Seniority shall begin to accrue from the date a pilot is first assigned to air line flying duty and shall continue to accrue during such period of duty.
