 FINDINGS:
The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

 This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

As Third Party in interest, the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks were advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed a Submission with the Division.

 The Claimant has alleged that Carrier acted in an unjust, arbitrary and capricious manner with their implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement dated December 1, 1977, and that the Agreement disregards rules governing seniority in the selection of PAD, PADD or Exempt positions.

The record is clear that the action taken by the Carrier, which the Claimant challenges, was in accord with Agreements the Carrier made with the Organization. Inasmuch as the jurisdiction of the Board is confined to interpreting Agreements betwe employes, and inasmuch as there is no dispute here between the contracting parties that the Carrier fully complied with the Agreements made with the Organization, the Claim must be denied.
