JukeboxDJPart Time Regulars are in their own classification. I found this out when I tried to transfer to AZ as a PTR.
In contract under Art. 41.2.B 2. Part-time regular letter carriers are considered to be a separate category and seniority for assignment and other purposes shall be restricted to this category.
So you may have to transfer as a PTF on ereassign.
