FedEx Reserve-
do any of the Pax airlines have a 60 Second late money back guarantee?

"We offer a money-back guarantee for every U.S. shipment. You may request a refund or credit of your shipping charges if we miss our published (or quoted, as in the case of FedEx SameDay®) delivery time by even 60 seconds.

This guarantee applies to all U.S. shipments, commercial and residential, to all 50 states." (There are Exceptions, but that's for system wide events....IOW-not the well there's Weather SOMEWHERE in the US and that's why we cancelled your flight so-no soup for you games the Pax carriers seem to play)

Substitution-it's easy. Do nothing. FedEx has up until 4 hours after your scheduled show to find a trip or you go home with pay. If you're a 777 guy with a 2 week pairing, then you get 3 days off and then you're on call between 1000-1600 with an 8 hour call out window. Did anyone mention odds are pretty slim of a 777 trip being available, you know, to fly Extra at straight time.

OR, You can tell Scheduling to kiss off with no ramifications and they drop the trip and give you the option to Makeup that cancelled trip at 125% of Pay.

OR, if Scheduling needs your Trip to Show or Return late...they might offer you a Reassignment Trip (Pay code RAT) and you get the Highest of the Original Trip guarantee or RAT trip guarantee at 125%
Did anyone Mention that you Don't have to accept the RAT trip? YOU can tell Scheduling to kiss of with no consequences other than remaining eligible for Substitution

So, Scheduling Offers you a Substitution Trip...did anyone Mention that you can tell Scheduling to kiss off? Consequence is that trip pay drops into your regular makeup bank.
But I'd rather do that than fly a 4 leg AM out and back to Memphis.

Aircraft Pay. Only 2 it's true. 757 mostly fly's into the Greats and Grands...typically carrying 15-25k of Cargo
Airbus, 76, MD11, tend to carry a bit more than that
