The company at one time would pay you for your trips if you had military leave conflict. That all went away with the smart guy that was creating false orders and submitting them to the company. As a former commander and twenty plus years at FedEx, I have seen leave abuse by some military pilots, and unfortunately that's when the guidelines, suggestions, recommendations, etc by the company start popping up. USERRA is a law, but thinking you will always win a discrimination or harassment case against an employer with it is false. Protect your job, protect your country, they both can be done with integrity.
