If they put in their request and prior to it being filled someone else picks up that trip, then the computer doesn't know how to revert that person back to sub. Now how this scenario would occur if the requests are real time didn't make sense to me and when I questioned the 5000 number as sounding WAAAY out of line. I was told that he had a great working relationship with this company expert and why would he question the guy who is the expert? I tried the obvious "we don't even have 5000 trips in open time every month" but he seemed put out that I thought he should question an answer given by the expert. So I don't hold out for this one going through anytime in the near future.

Signing bonus is like show pay, just enough to keep ya' coming back for more.

Been all over the block with CE, they tell me it is a historic problem that can not be grieved. I tell them that NO it is a problem since FOX took over expense reports. The company and CE win I lose.

Been doing this since the new system came out and it works every time. For some reason, it only works if you use the tripmanager online to purchase the ticket vice Corp Travel.
