Don't forget that you can do 1st Class if total duty time exceeds 11:30.
8.A.4. Class of Service for Commercial Deadhead Travel Deadhead greater that 5 hours is YOUR deviation scheduled deadhead (had to go thru ATL once to qualify- but worth it).... b. A class of service higher than coach shall be authorized if: i. a deadhead exceeds 5 scheduled block hours; or ii. a deadhead is included in a single duty period exceeding 11:30; or iii. the scheduled block hours of a revenue flight plus the scheduled block hours of a deadhead in a single duty period exceed 8 hours. However, if a domestic duty period does not exceed 11:30 and a deadhead within that duty period does not exceed 1:30 (OAG) block, the deadhead may be scheduled in coach. Most typical duty period exceedance is on the back end when you deadhead out with less than a legal rest period. As an example: arrive 0600 and deadhead before 1400 = less than 8 hours rest means same [effective] duty period. (Domestic is most restrictive) 12.C.6. Domestic Rest Provisions Good Luck.a. A domestic rest period shall be scheduled for not less than 9 hours (8 hours when the following duty period consists entirely of deadhead to base), and shall operationally be not less than 8 hours.

Do you actually classifiy them as tips to a driver on the expense report?
I've heard that the company will cover up to a 20% tip, but I just have the driver write a total amount with a tip line. Limos may be a little different. |
Some of the contracts FedEx has with the transportation vendors includes a tip for the driver that makes the run.

I don't think I would post the "how to" on expense reporting on this site. May generate an FCIF on what is and what is not allowed.
I recommend deleting said info. |

Is the 5 hr dev rule, based on the "trip scheduled dh time"...or...the " actual scheduled dh time" on the flight you actually deviate on?
Similarly, is the 5 hrs based on "flight time"...or "total travel time" (i.e. flight time, plus layover connection, plus flight time)? Thanks. 5hr rule is based on what you actually fly: 1)If the scheduled D/H is over 5hrs and booked in 1st class, but your deviation flight is less than 5hrs...You're limited to purchasing a coach ticket. 2)If the scheduled D/H is under 5hrs, but your deviation flight is over 5hrs...You're eligible for 1st class. Assuming you have enough bank money. Your bank remains based on the coach scheduled D/H. The 5hrs is based on block times. The 11:30 rule is based on duty times, including your deviation legs. Like Flybynight said...If you D/H home same duty time, it is quite easy to exceed the 11:30 and make yourself eligible for a 1st class ticket. Again, your bank will not change, just your eligibility. |
Speaking of deviating...Anyone have any tips on getting to the hotel in DUB as a deviate?
