Seems like I get this crew notification just about every month now:



I always recheck, can't find anything I've missed, and still end up with a zero balance owed to company. Anyone else getting this, or is it just me?

Maybe I'm just sensitive.


Can't blame you- 'Tis the time of year to be sensitive. If I don't get my "issue" fixed in time, gonna loose $ on the last check before Christmas, not exactly the best timing... but not too surprised either.

Assertive is when they notify you that your expense account is due.

BOHICA is when you get payroll deducted and taxed for going to work. :(

It's not so much that as I'm just curious why they wanted my NOV08 report before I was done operating my last NOV08 trip. It ain't due 'til Jan 4.

I sent them a note, if I get a response I'll report back.

True statement. In the past I've also ended up owing money for trips I flew as scheduled, no deviations, overages or unauthorized expenditures, nothing. If anyone can 'splain that one to me, have at it.

SwitchMonkey,

Please fill out an ops report, copy it and send it to the Sig.

8.A.4

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

Don't see it often, but I've upgraded to first class a couple of times when the first class fare was cheaper than the refundable coach fare. Just make sure Global Travel attaches a note saying so in your locator email.

I've had that happen a few times on AA.

USNFDX-

Copy what, the Ops Reort, the expense report or what? Not being smart, I really don't know what to send to the SIG. 1st time I've had to deal with something like this since I'm a FNG.

USNFDX 12-05-2008 12:46 PM

SM,
Text copy the ops report prior to to hitting the send. Then email it to the Alpa SIG.

Also if you could enable PM, on your APC account I could have sent this to you that way.

If I may chime in...

The Sig works class of service issues for DHs. They even have a sub-committee just for DH's. If you want someone to give you the real scoop and work with ALPA legal, you should send an e-mail to your PSIT/SIG folks. E-mail is on the ALPA website and the SIG notes.

Send what you ask? The details of your situation. You don't have to copy and paste anything, just give them the info in your own words.

SWA business Select is ALWAYS authorized. You just have to get the auditor to realize it.
