        Division 2—How slots are allocated

     14 Preparation for allocation before scheduling season starts

         (1) Before a scheduling season (the next scheduling season) starts, the Slot Manager must:

            (a) decide which slot series in the next scheduling season each operator has or will have historical precedence to; and

            (b) notify each operator in writing of:
                (i) the slots the Slot Manager considers each operator has or will have historical precedence to (the slot historics list); and

                (ii) the date by which operators must notify the Slot Manager if they disagree with the slot historics list (the agreed historics deadline); and

                (iii) any other information the Slot Manager considers relevant to allocation of slots for that scheduling season.

Note  Under guidelines issued by IATA, the Slot Manager must do this by the 'SHL Deadline' (or 'Slot Historic List Deadline'). For a northern summer, this is the third Monday in September. For a northern winter, this is the third Monday in April.

         (2) An operator must notify the Slot Manager of any disagreement no later than the agreed historics deadline.

Note If the Slot Manager and operator are unable to resolve this disagreement, the operator is able to seek a review of the Slot Manager's decision under Part 3.

         (3) The Slot Manager must invite operators to apply, no later than a date specified by the Slot Manager (the initial submission deadline), for slots in the next scheduling season.

Note Under guidelines issued by IATA, the initial submission deadline is 7 days after the agreed historics deadline.

     15 Allocation of slots based on historical precedence
Note Single slots and slot groups are not allocated under this section.

         (1) If an operator has applied in response to an invitation under section 14 for a slot series to which it has historical precedence, the Slot Manager must offer the series to the operator unless allocation would be inconsistent with section 18.

         (2) If allocation of a slot would be inconsistent with section 18, the Slot Manager must, after consulting the operator, offer another slot to the operator.

         (3) The Slot Manager must
