A bit off-topic, but a deviation bank related discrepancy nonetheless:

I deviated on a trip recently, about 1 week into the bid month. So, being very familiar with Section 8.C.2.b, I know that I am due the Established fare rather than the higher of the Baseline or Established since I did not deviate prior to the bid month start. The Established fare was $404. The TICKETED fare was $384. I deviated without a ticket and spent $400 on ground transportation (4 rides of $100/ea). When I went to file my expense report I had the ticketed fare of $384 as my DBA. I emailed expense reporting with the error. They quoted me 8.C.2.b and said I should get the Established fare since I deviated after the bid month start. I responded that I was very familiar with 8.C.2.b, but if you look at my original email/complaint I was arguing my DBA was credited with the TICKETED fare and not the Established I was due. After a few go-rounds, I emailed with a screenshot of my successful deviation which included the Baseline and Established fare amounts- verifying the $404 I was referring to under the Established fare column. They corrected the error and my DBA for Nov is now $404.

Moral of the story- ANYTIME you initiate a transaction- trip swap, drop trip, crew notification, deviation check in, and especially deviations and the monies associated with them (this isn't the first error I've caught) TAKE A SCREENSHOT to prove your point.

Cheers,

BK
