Default FDX question?

Does anybody know if there is a link in the vips site that shows your deviation balance?

I don't believe so. There is, however, a "green screen" that shows if you're a deviate. Mostly Navy guys appear there.

What you can do is start an expense report for the current month, and that will show all the scheduled travel as well as all of the deviation expenses the system knows about.

Will show you how well you are doing at spending the company's $$

I figure if I spend all the deviation bank and nothing more, that I am just being "cost neutral".

I strive to be cost neutral, and am disappointed when I'm cost effective

Carefull, If your scheduled ticket is more than your accepted fare the bank will reflect the higher fare untill you deviate. Then magically the bank reverts to the lower fare. Don't worry the union is working on this clear contract violation. They told me so 18 months ago.

I've never waited long enough to deviate to see that magical Fox change it's colors.

And, I keep track of the expenses via a spreadsheet, makes it easier to maintain the whole cost neutrality if you know what's available.

The funny thing is I've spent more on limos now that the company is holding the line on the 100$ a month parking limit......

hmmm, 40$ for parking or 150$ for limos,

I know of more than one instance where guys have gotten hosed by this.
None of the guys I know took it in the shorts too badly, but there's real potential to screw yourself on some of the transoceanic deadheads.

What I didn't ask them was whether they printed out or did a screen capture of the initially quoted accepted fare to submit with the expense report, or to show to the ACP later. Anyone tried this?
