Default Accepted Fares D/H

Just picked up a trip that D/H's to ANC and back. The paring didn't have any fares posted just ?. Finally checked again and the MEM-ANC fare was $1074 and the return ANC-MEM was $799 total = $1873.

I think the first leg is a lot more than the accepted fare, but do I get the total $1873 for my deviation bank, or do I have to check what the accepted fare is for my deviation bank? Hope this make sense.

Thanks

Before I tell if you get all the bank - Did you check to see if what you are flying is not a ANC disputed pairing?

Did you get the scheduled ticket in email from Corp Travel ? I would not plan on using more than the VIPS Fare, in the past they would allow the higher fare if you actually had the ticket issued in your name with proof of the higher scheduled fare but there has been a change over in crew audit.

If you actually take the scheduled flight, the cost does not matter (assuming it is higher), if it is lower than the accepted fare you still get the difference in your bank and either way is does not affect the bank on the back end, are you confused yet ?

Lastly, I think you are on a hotel standby. I do not know if they can assign you an ANC DP or not from the standby. I assume this is the purpose of the standby since ANC guys are holding the line. I would call Contract Enforcement and ask since you were not assigned this trip on reserve can they make you fly and ANC Dispute ? Another way around the process most likely, but worth asking the question.

You guys are correct, it is a Hotel standby. I will call contract enforcement if they assign me a DP.
Where on Vips can you search the accepted fares?

What good will a phone call to contract enforcement do? Odds are the people in contract enforcement will be gone due to the time zones and unless I'm missing something (which is possible) I think they can give a hotel standby a DP. Anyone have any insight on that? My guess is that it would fall into the fly it and grieve it later catagory. They usually only give you 30 to 45 minutes heads up from pickup time on a hotel standby so I don't see alot of time to address a problem. Anyone?

Why not call contract enforcement ahead of time and avoid the rush?

The only ones they can "assign" a DP to is a reserve, if an R24 guy is given a Hotel Standby I would agree that they are just using a reserve, but if they take MEM guy and put him in Hotel Standby and the pilot was not on reserve I do not think they can assign disputed flying. I am sure the company thinks otherwise but this is a very interesting scenario. I would call Contract Admin as soon as possible to find out.
