Fdx-muv
For the first time since being at FedEx I tried to play the Vcation system. I got stuck with a MUV trip I dont want. So far, I cannot figure out how to dump it. Keeps coming back "drop not allowed for this assignment code". Anyone have experience on how to lose this trip?
Thanks |

Thanks Best contract reference I've come up with is 4.P.1 P. Make-Up Pay A pilot who is assigned a make-up trip shall be compensated as follows:
A pilot may not trade or drop a trip for which he does not hold trip guarantee. |

It's sort of academic anyway ... if it was a trip that the contract says you could drop, it would be;
DENIED ... INSUFFICIENT RESERVES :confused: |
You cant't even be PDO'd. You are 100% stuck with this like Adler said
Only two options. Fly it or call in sick |
Thanks for the response. Posting here was my last desperate resort, so I figured that was the case. Serves me right for toying around in the Make up Window. I had heard that execeeding your vacation hours was a good deal. Should have researched a little more before trying it.

Made that mistake years ago!! Lesson learned. I will never do makeup vacation or makeup sick.

MUV can be a good deal, but only if you absolutely, positively know that you want to fly that trip. Otherwise, yeah, you're stuck. I guess if something really important came up you can always try calling your manager and begging for mercy.
I wish they'd fix this on the next contract. |
I've used MUV when I forgot about vacation in the next month (the one beyond the current bid) and had it knock out a trip that went a few hours into the new month.
Not wanting to burn 30+ hours of vacation in February (or whatever crappy month it was) I did the MUV bid to knock some of that down. I limited my bid, however, knowing that whatever I got was mine, with no trading allowed. So bid carefully. |
MUV, MUS...and STBY periods
All undroppable & untradeable Most pilots only make the mistake once |
