The solution is two fold. First, our weak contract allows the company to determine the "accepted" fare and not be held accountable unless the pilot catches them playing fast with the money.

To rectify the situation do this: At the top of the expense report, there is a listing of the scheduled flights and "accepted" fares. In that section, there is a way to update the "accepted" fare to the REAL fare. Do that and your bank is increased to reflect the REAL fare instead of the fairy tale (I mean "accepted") fare.

Once done, your total monthly bank will also increase and the ticket on the back end will be covered as you spent less than what the company's fairy tale (rats..... I mean "accepted" again...) fare was listed as.

Easy to do, but not advertised very well. I've done it every time the fairy tale (there I go again....) fare is less than the actual fare, even if I don't need the extra bank money.

Too bad that we accept these junk contracts that give all of our leverage away in order to allow the company to open a new domicile anywhere west of the Ural Mountains. For those domestic flyers that have no intention of bidding international, you are still affected when you allow the holes to remain in the contract.
