Where does it say that in section 8? Since he flew the scheduled he doesn't have a deviation bank does he?

As the poster in question asked does he have a $150 to spend later in the month it is a safe assumption. But I would double check my math and take screen shots before I spent it.

Yes of course he does. That money is his. Once he spends it by deviating the bank will be created and it'll be there.

ahhh....I think if you fly the Sched flt you get nothing! IE that "extra" money is NOT yours......You have no bank associated with flying the sched flt.....I would be very careful!

MD11Fr8Dog

I think you are very wrong!

Have had it happen to me several times. The accepted fare creates your bank, if the ticketed fare is lower that is money in your bank. Use it or lose it. A side note, mid trip deadhead no deviation two tickets issued with two different fares. Cancelled the higher of the two used the lower fare which was 300$ lower than the accepted fare, and bought myself a ticket home at the end of the trip.

I think the key phrase was he flew the scheduled flight. If you fly the scheduled flight you do not get a deviation bank and hence would not be able to use the extra money.

Again, if you disagree please show where in Chapter 8 it says you keep the difference.

FDXLAG

Read chapter 8 carefully. The accepted fares are his established bank. You would be correct if all he flew was the one trip and had no other expenses then he would not need to file. But for most of us all of our accepted fares are pooled together and you subtract all of your expenses pooled together. I would still take a screen shot in case they tried to adjust my bank, in which case call the union and you will get your bank back.

8.C.2.a A pilot shall have a deviation bank established for each bid period. The value of the deviation bank shall equal the value of the scheduled deadhead tickets for trips flown during the bid period plus the value of any scheduled deadheads for recurrent training. However, if a deadhead trip is changed or canceled by the Company, the deadhead bank monies remain intact. A deadhead associated with a carryover trip shall be credited to the deviation bank for the bid period containing the showtime for the deadhead.
