Where does it say $50 limit to direct bill? Since LOA10 was incorporated from the JCBA
jointly negotiated I'd say past practice has become current.
Hmmmm.
How much laundry do you have? Are you one of those pilots who used to take laundry from home to do because it was free?
Again it comes down to intent. They will ask the principles involved who wrote that section if the limit was intended to be 50 total if direct billed or reimbursed. I find it hard to believe however you need to do more then 50 dollars in laundry on each layover.
