INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE

FROM: G. R. Janas

SUBJECT:

This morning we received your letter of June 11, 1949, formally filing a grievance under Section 29 of the Agreement between Colonial Airlines, Inc. and the Air Line Pilots Association, International.

I note in the second paragraph of your letter that it is your contention that Section 27 of the Agreement, "was not followed in awarding the bulletined bid for a temporary run on the Bermuda Division........". If the awarding of this bulletined bid is the basis of your grievance, then your request for hearing is timely in accordance with Section 28, paragraph (a), sub-paragraph (1) of the Agreement and it follows that all arguments must them be confined to this one point. If you are questioning the propriety and procedure of the bid, then in accordance with Section 28, paragraph (a), sub-paragraph (1), you should have requested hearing within seven days after the posting of the original bid on May 17, 1949 or within seven days after the positing of the letter dated May 27, 1949 extending the bid. Obviously then the period for filing grievances in respect to the propriety of procedure of the bid expired on June 3, 1949.

In accordance with paragraph (a), sub-paragraph (3) of Section 28 you will be granted a hearing in my office at 1000 A.M. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, Monday, June 20, 1949.

Since we have already discussed this matter, the company is willing to forego the hearing which is required under paragraph (a), sub-paragraph (2), Section 28, and grant you the hearing authorized under paragraph (b), sub-paragraph (1) of Section 28, providing that you are in accord.

If you desire any further information concerning this grievance please feel free to contact Mr. Dykes until Friday, June 7, 1949, when I will be available to answer your questions.
