Not only is it impossible for YOU nor the company to re-book the flight at the "accepted fare" rates.....

the company can't even book in the first place at the "accepted fare" rates.

the airlines are raising rates so fast that less than a week after the "accepted fares" for April and the Bidpacks were published - many of the just published "accepted fares" were already not available - and the tickets that the company had to purchase after the bids were awarded had to be purchased at a higher price.

this is not a problem for the company because they only have to pay the higher price if you actually use that scheduled ticket (ie. don't deviate)

if you deviate - even if you try to re-book the "scheduled flight" right after your schedule is awarded - YOU LOSE - 'cause the fares have gone up - and the company now refuses to adjust your deviation bank accordingly

the deviator gets the lower (obsolete) "accepted fare" to work with even though the company could never buy the scheduled ticket for the published "accepted fare"

it's toal BS.
