If you fulfill your sub, you are considered to have flown the trip. If you decline sub, you haven't flown the trip. I have had this happen to me.
Pineseeker -
When did this happen to you?
I've declined sub many times, and ALWAYS have retained the bank; thus, I support Kronans statement
HOWEVER, I'll admit I haven't done this under the new Nov 2015 CBA, so I wanted to see the reference again
The reference you just posted is from section 8.C.2.a
I cross checked this against the same paragraph in the Oct 2006 CBA
Indeed, the old verbiage "However, if a deadhead trip is changed or canceled by the company, the deadhead bank monies remain intact"
I believe this verbiage was the justification for past practice, and Kronans statement
It appears this section was reformatted in many ways
Someone Please, please tell me similar verbiage is now written somewhere else and we are afforded the same "bank protection" we've always enjoyed
Please don't tell me this is something we gave away during our last round of negotiations
