FDX-FOX airline ticket partial refund
Has anybody run into this?
Company changed my pairing and removed two mid-trip deadheads and cancelled the tickets. I now have two charges against my travel bank for "partial refunds." Is this right? My travel bank gets charged because they didn't cancel the tickets on time? It's not that big of a deal this month, because I had a few extra bucks left over, but in the future, that $250 may come in handy. |
Is there a "DISCR" (discrepancy) link to the left of those tickets in the Travel Report? If so, click on the link, select "Cancelled e-ticket, Scheduled", and they will remove them from your Report within a couple of days. I believe you even receive a Crew Notification when the cancelled ticket has been resolved.

On a related note, I am wondering about this:
My trip was revised and scheduled backend DH was changed. I deviated before the accepted fare showed on my pairing (because I had to get going), I then received an email with a scheduled ticket purchase for $1400, while my pairing only shows $1149 for that ticket, $251 LESS than what GT actually purchased the ticket for. Any ideas/suggestions? |

Any ideas/suggestions? You should inform the CE people at the union because it will force them to clean the dust off that file they have kept with examples on how we allowed the FOX implementation to unilaterally change how we treat accepted fares. |
Sluggo,
The company is responsible for these fees. I have had this happen before and they cover it. I would put a note in the remarks section and make sure they know about it...it is also covered by the CBA... Company pays for any refunds on tickets they booked... If you deviate and buy a ticket, then change plans, it's on you... In a nutshell! |

Any ideas/suggestions? Anyone know if they are increasing accepted fares to what the tickets actually cost if more than the AF? They used to do this, but I thought they stopped that (past practice apparently has no bearing unless it favors the company) but I had a guy tell me recently that he called and had his AF increased when they did this to him recently so who knows? |
Thanks guys. I'll try calling the Crew Audit folks and see what they say. It would be nice to have that extra $250 in this case.

The accepted fares that you get for a trip are the highest fares of a trip's D/Hs, in total, shown at one of these points:
1)When the trip was assigned to you 2)At blockout(not showtime) 3)As flown(last revision) |

Of course highest fare shown has nothing to do with ticket price if you deviate.

Thanks everybody.

Sluggo,
Go into your Travel Report and click "Add Missing Travel Bank Record". The discrepancy reason is FNR-Flight Not Required. Fill out the information required, the fare amount is the cost of the partial refund. By doing that, $250 will be added to your travel bank. |

I just wanted to add to this, if they change the fare before you leave on the trip (i.e. block out) then this will be your new accepted fare, EVEN IF IT IS LOWER!!! I got burned on this a few months back and it cost me about $900. ALPA knew about this change in the rules and never put anything out to the crew force, big surprise. :rolleyes:

This is not correct. You get the higher of when assigned or final revision.
You mean people can just say stuff on the internets that isn't true?:rolleyes: |
