FDX-Make-up Disability

Are we not allowed to drop a trip that was picked up for Make-up Disability (MUD)? VIPS won't let me do it and I can't find it in the contract anywhere that says we can't. Thanks.

Correct.. Also can't drop a make-up sick or Airport STBY (any pay code).

That makes no sense to me. Why not?

I've wondered the same thing myself.

You also have no pay protection. If the trip cancels, you get no MUD credit. I will never make up sick or disability.

I agree. Oh well, live and learn I suppose. Nothing like "volunteering" for a check ride

As usual, I found out the hard way also. I accidentally clicked the wrong m/u selection. The reason that was given to me was -

25.L.1.h
A pilot may not trade or drop a trip for which he does not hold trip guarantee.

Applies to MUS, MUV and MUD(although MUD is not specifically addressed in the m/u section of chap 25).

That makes one of you.

I know two people that made up a whole lot of MUD during 4.A.2B so that they could get a paycheck at the end of their 9th year. I am talking over 100 hours each from their accounts. I was dumbfounded.
