ok.. before this get's a life of it's own the way it works is:
you're an ANC pilot, you're a MEM flex. Not that uncommon. Flex PDO bumps can be cross domicile, when released back to the line for flying you fly out of your domicile ANC.
let's not whip this horse any more that we need to.

If I was him, I'd be doing the same thing!

Don't see anything sinister there.

You made a statement - "Zero. There is no such thing. You bid it, you're going."
I was just pointing out that they don't always go. Wasn't saying it was some sinister back room deal or anything - just pointing out the facts - something rarely done on this board.

CBA 11.M.11: "By mutual consent of the flex instructor/PCA and the training manager, a flex instructor/PCA may be assigned a flex training base different than his flying base (e.g., LAX based pilot assigned to the MEM training base, or MEM based pilot assigned to ANC training base, etc). "

Perhaps you and I have different definitions of the word "go". You didn't go to Georgetown University with Slick Willy in 1968, did you ?
There are no "free rides" or personally negotiated good deals. If you bid an FDA, you might do your flex duties in MEM per the CBA, but when you flex to the line, you fly in your domicile.
I think my answer takes care of this, and your statement as well. Looks like you and I just had a misunderstanding. I think we basically agree here.
And thanks to LivinginMem for quoting the CBA on this.
