The only exception was ALA and that is spelled out very specifically in the contract attachment to the DH section.
I had one from ANC-OAK last year and called contract enforcement. Sorry.
I don't believe that is correct. Even though you had to take the company jumpseat, I still think you get an "accepted fare" for ANC-MEM. They are allowed to put you on a company aircraft due to operational necessity, but there has to be some sort of bank. For contract enforcement to say you are SOL is BS. No wonder "unity" is weak with responses like that. Make sure you let the SIG know.
