This fact is yet another example of a nugget that (we) thought this contract fixed, but in truth, just papered over our legitimate issues, regarding DH fares with yet another bogus number.
Before we had a BS fare published in the bid pack that we used to plan and balance our deviation travel. We
asked for and expected that the fix would allow us the same money that the company would have spent had we used the scheduled DH. What we
got is just more numbers based on airfares that someone in travel came up with that, surprise!!
, still don't necessarily equal the air fare the company would have spent.
Other than making things more confusing for the user and more work for someone in corptrav and crew travel audit, the company once again got the best of our NC. We bought it and now this non fix is the contract.
