RCA position just posted a day or so ago. New rcas won't be eligible to bid before regular retires.
An eligible RCA from another office could transfer and end up with route. Otherwise route will go up for district wide bid. Portland district. </blockquote>
Is there a question here? RCA positions are not a bidding position. Sounds like your talking about a Regular Carrier position as in a route has been posted. Route postings don't usually happen before a carrier vacates the route. A sub could transfer in if they have over 1yr service but if the route is posted now & they haven't started the transfer... not happening. Any Reg in office can change to that route & if no PTF or qualified RCA for the residual, it will go district & any in-district carrier could take it.

Yes RCA position posted. Regular retiring soon. If elliglibe RCA transfers before, they have first dibs. No regulars want to take route in office. And no qualified rcas. </blockquote>
Ok. It's not an "RCA position", it's a route posting. An RCA would have to request in writing to transfer in, be approved by your PM, and then their old PM would have 30 days to release him/her. So... not likely unless you already have a sub approved for transfer in with over 1 yr service right now. A route posting is for only 10 days after which it's too late. Then mgmt has to re-post as a district posting. IF an RCA did transfer in but missed the local posting, they could possibly get it in district-bidding or a Regular could move in from a different office.

No it IS RCA posting.... Regular retiring in a couple months. I'm not an idiot. Anyways just a friendly heads up if anyone is interested. 43k route near Oregon beaches. </blockquote>
There is no such thing as an RCA posting for ANYONE to bid on. An RCA posting is a job opening in the newspaper, etc. A route posting is when a route is vacated by a retiring Regular (or fired, transferred out) or an Aux has grown to 42 for Regular status.
As I said, it's too late for an RCA to decide now that he/she wants to transfer to obtain a posted route as they only have 1 week now. It takes longer than that to just do the paperwork.

What if the regular doesn't retire when planned and then one of the RCA's becomes eligible while waiting for them to retire or waiting for the route to be posted. The RCA that transfers in to go regular doesn't.

Got stamps, the new RCA vacancies ARE posted on USPS for the general public for ten days, when they are hiring for a NEW RCA. You can browse for all current openings, CCA, RCA, by state and zip code. What this person is saying is that they have no willing or eligible takers lined up for down the road when the regular retires, that will be filling the regular route down the road, thus leaving anyone who wants to transfer in a route if they are eligible time wise, before it goes up for district bid. This happened in our area 20+ years ago.
