FDX- Deviation Bank and Substitution
I apologize if this has been discussed before but my searches were fruitless.
If you get taken off a trip for a conflict, such as a previous trip was extended, and it knocked out a trip with a scheduled deadhead: Do you still keep the bank money? I my case I went into Sub and my extended trip conflicted with my original trip.
I can't find this anywhere. I did see that the contract mentioned if a deadhead was canceled or rescheduled that you'd keep the bank or the higher bank in case of reschedule. I'm just curious if anyone has had this experience?
Thanks.

It's actually fairly simple. If you did nothing to cause the cancellation of your deadhead, and it was all on the company, then you keep the deadhead money. If a deadhead is replaced by another deadhead, then you keep the higher of the two fares. Clear as mud? A call to crew travel audit will confirm this answer.

Thanks, that makes sense.
