Yah. Call your ACP and ask him about using your deviation bank to get from your home to guard duty.
On this...I agree. Use your bank to go wherever you wish, before or after your trip. But, abusing the "24-48hr enroute delay" provision of the contract, to get to your guard duty, is a misuse of company funds.
Of course, that's just my opinion. And anyone that knows me...knows what a company stooge I am.
Better apply for that management job ! We need guys like you in the office.
Bottom line is the policy has never been anything more than an expense that can be paid through your deviation bank if it meets the 3 day rule. If we ever start patrolling "why" did you go to XXX then we have lost another battle. Hence, why I told him to not say "leisure" travel ! No need to discuss how or why, simply is it a valid expense per the CBA. He did not lie cheat or steal, valid terminating offenses. If they deny an expense, payroll deduct it or fight it.
Take it easy !
