who covers the route? PTF or RCA?

[O Snap]

Office has a total of 12 K routes, 6 RCA’s,
1 PTF (2 of their 3 strings are in our office)

none of the RCA’s have the string routes as secondary/tertiary

So......

Who covers either of the string routes on days other than the carriers actual “relief” day (sick/appt etc) ? The PTF who is considered the “Primary”? or any available leave replacement?

Mgmts choice... PTF or Most Senior RCA when no matrix for a route. A PTF is only “guaranteed“ the total Hours of the String routes, not the actual routes themselves. Mgmt can be “strict” on scheduling only the String Relief Days & nothing else, or they can use them ANY time the Regular on a String Route is off. Mgmt can also use the PTF on any route over a Secondary or Tertiary RCA. PTFs have NO CHOICE in any of these scenarios although mgmt does typically allow their “input”.

the order of consideration is precisely the reason for the question... because it does not clearly define WHO covers the route. Unless I missed it-have I?
