I was trying to find a title that everyone could cue on/understand.

Yes, it was a personal ticket home, using the 3 day rule.

The rest, you’re preaching to the choir. The “seat selection fees are only allowed on company deadheads” is still in red on my expense report, but haven’t got an explanation as to what the f that means.

I read it as they’re saying they’re only allowed on a company scheduled deadhead too, but I argued via insite if that’s their interpretation, nowhere in the CBA is that defined or justified.

Instead, in fact, my purchase of a flight home IS specifically allowed (as we all know), and the $40/$80 rule is IN THE SAME SECTION.

Ridiculous.

True irony? I should’ve asked for the whole fee ($53.84), as technically it was a backend positioning sequence, and the seat selection fee allowance is one of FEW that has the GREATER of the amount reimbursable.

Gungala gungala gungala...
