FDX VTO trip awarding of X-parings
I have a question that I am unable to find in the contract. Over the last two months X-pairings are dropping down for the following month and are being placed on VTO holders lines. Is that allowed? By default, since that pairing was not in the bid pack, I was not allowed to bid for that trip. Aren't they violating the contract? I thought that any pairing that was not available for bidding could not be awarded during the VTO process. That pairing would be available during open time when it opens. The exception would be trips that needed to be awarded prior to the opening of open time and that was where the 72 hour clause came into affect for the scheduler to award those trip to guys on reserve.
I see the phrase "other trips" in the VTO build section but I have no idea what that means either. Any help would be great.
