FDX-Excess Bank Money
Hey guys,
I have recurrent training next month and was wondering if you can use your left over bank money to buy a ticket to get to recurrent training. Contract talks about being able to use the bank within 3 days of a scheduled "activity", but refers to the bank as "deviation", which I don't think I'm doing if I'm just trying to get up to ANC for CMV 1. Thanks for the help. I got tired of being on hold with Crew Travel for over 20 minutes!

I have used excess bank money to get to training events many times (but it was before the "new" Fox Expense Reporting system ... so who knows now?) ... seems like an easy question to email your ACP about. If they give you the answer you want in writing, you're golden

Some of this is not necessarily strictly spelled out in the contract, but that's pretty much how it works.

Note, if you do use the money to come to training, you would have to check the block for taxable travel, the same as if you used your bank to go to Anchorage for the start of a trip. ie. you're not really "deviating" to start a trip, just using bank money to get to your domicile.
