Dont hold me to it, just a quick personal story relative to your question.
I'm not worried about the bank money, I have enough with the other D/H's that I won't be using. I'm worried that I got home at 0900 on 1 April, and if I get PDO bumped, my revenue flight isn't until 0306 on 3 April. That a greater than 24 hour delay. Looking at the contract:
8.C.4.d d. Travel claimed as a deviation expense must begin or end within 3 days of the scheduled assignment to/from which the pilot is deviating (e.g. scheduled deadhead, trip or Rday) and must proceed to the intended destination of the deviation with no greater than a 24 hour delay enroute, domestically, and a 48 hour delay enroute internationally.
I'm worried that with the >24 hour delay enroute, my deviation ticket won't be authorized. Will they look at the fact that when I originally bought the ticket, the delay was <24 hours, but the PDO bump caused it to go over 24?
What do you guys think?
