Default Where does the money go.......

I just heard of another change no one told me about and I'm not sure where it is in the contract.

Old school. When a Flex or instructor needed a line check they bumped folks off of trips that were already assigned. Good deal if you got bumped. So the line pilot got the pay for the trip, and the instructor got to pick his trip.

New school. Before open time is released Flex guys and instructors are assigned trips (that they did not pick) out of open time for their line checks. So the line guys do not get the pay since the trip was never assigned. Guess who gets the pay, someone has to it's in the contract.
Well, it seems our UNION GETS the pay not the pilots.

So, who tracks the money? How much is there? What is it used for?

We have a lot of instructors getting line checks and our union is getting the money. I'd just like to know who keeps up with it all if anyone?

If any of you smart guys know, I'd love to hear. Seems like more money out of the line guys pocket or at the very least another good deal is gone.
