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.

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.

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.
