aux route question?

so my route was cut last spring and part of it was made into an aux route. it is only just over a 2hr a day route. is there a minimum number of hours an aux route can be and what happens if it goes below that? would that be absorbed back to my route or would i have to give up more to keep it above the minimum hours? just trying to be prepared. my route and the aux are rmpo so i don't think any other zip would be involved as it would make a 2 zip route

-- Back in 2018, that version of the ELM mentioned in Section 4 - Guarantees 2 hours pay -- Auxiliary route must be 12 hours week minimum. No idea if the current ELM version as the same wording. Anyone?

-- Why was your route cut? An overburdened K route?

-- Who is running the AUX now?

-- Good question what happens if the AUX falls below 2 hours.
 
From Article 9 of The Nat'l Agreement ;

b. TABLE OF EVALUATED HOURS FOR
AUXILIARY ROUTES

Total Hours and Minutes Per
Week (Standard Hours) Evaluated Hours

11:30 to 12:29 12 Hours
12:30 to 13:29 13 Hours
13:30 to 14:29 14 Hours
14:30 to 15:29 15 Hour

The chart goes further but this PART of it covers the two hour part of your question. As you can see from the LOW END of 11 hours and 30 minutes per week , the evaluation can go quite low in standard hours and minutes.
 
My experience was always that, once they make an Auxy Rt, they really don't want to do away with it and put those hours back on a Regular route... they will wang-dangle whatever they need to keep it legit... whether or not it really is.... :unsure: 🤷‍♂️👉:oops:
