Draft call out of order fdx
 

So what happens at fedex if they draft out of seniority order. I had put in VLT for a trip they would not give me because I had dropped a trip during the footprint then drafted someone junior to me. Any ideas? Call the union I know but they are not open til Tuesday. They said vips Auto drafted for it?

Just read contract, it is not in accordance with CBA, I just wonder what the restitution is and if it matters whether I fly other trips, it was a big trip.

Draft is offered in reverse seniority order...

Draft calls are supposed to go in reverse seniority order. It sounds like scheduling got it right this time. Section 25 O.

When you dropped the previous trip the footprint remains on your schedule. No draft allowed in that footprint. Plus draft is supposed to be in reverse seniority order (.....right).

In reverse order like call the junior first? Wow I misread that. Sorry.

Guess I was wrong about seniority, but what happens if they violate this? Get paid for the trip? And the contract mentions not eligible for VLT on a day a TRIP is dropped. I would think that would only be the first day of the trip. FOr example if you dropped a trip on the 8th, can you do a 5 day volunteer on the 5th to the 10th?

Short answer, No. There is an overlap on the 8-10th.

Look up "Compensatory Makeup" in the contract

It doesn't go in seniority order, call them and ask them, I did. I was told that they have a "call tree" they follow. Local MEM being first.

If you actually get screwed, CMU is a little-known thing to take advantage of.

It is Make up time that pays draft; you go to the top of the list (above Priority Makeup guys) and it never goes away.

If you get screwed on a VTO, draft, volunteer, etc, always try to get CMU for the trip value that you lost.

I don't believe you go to the top of the list.

Right you are! SUB, RAT or PMU are higher on the list.


Section 25.G.3.b. Open time not assigned as provided in Section 25.G.1. (above) shall be assigned in the following order:

i. SUB, RAT or PMU;

ii. Make-up:

(a) CMU

(b) M/U

(c) MUS (includes both MUS and MUD)

(d) MUV;

iii. AFB;

iv. RSV;

v. VLT;

vi. DRF

so is that CMU directed through ALPA because it is a contract violation or directly to scheduling.

Just flew with a captain who picked up a trip with general make up, but was taken off due to a "passdown error" between different scheduling shifts, trip was supposed to be given to another captain, but the on-coming scheduler missed this in the passdown log, and the capt I flew with picked it up. He called skeds, basically said "what the ****?", and they offered him CMU, on the spot. This was 8-10 years ago, so YMMV. Good luck.
