(a)
No individual will be employed or retained in employment by the Board if a member of his immediate family (blood relations who are residents of the employee's household) is employed by a carrier, a person or firm representing a carrier, or a transportation trade association.
(b)
Members and employees may request a waiver, modification, or postponement of the implementation of this prohibition from the Chairman and Managing Director, respectively, on the grounds of undue hardship to himself or the family member involved. The request must contain an agreement to forego any privilege to which the Board Member or employee would be entitled as a relative of the family member.
