Default Fedex - off site training

ITU questions:

Does anyone know if it's allowed to use the ITU travel bank for off-site training for normal deviation expenses related to revenue trips that are scheduled prior to ITU in the same month? What about for trips after ITU in the same month your finish?

What's the story with ITU rental cars? Does each pilot get their own? Is it pre-paid or do we use our company card? Do we pre-pay the gas, buy what we use with company card, pay for it ourselves? I see nothing about this in the contract or logical places on PFC.

ITU has its own bank and is separate from your normally assigned trips.

Rental cars are usually shared (one car per crew). Use company card for ALL expenses and keep receipts!

Again - ITU is a separate bank - don't try to mix it with normal expenses!

Separate bank and separate expense report filled out at the end of ITU.

I sort of thought this was the case as well. It's been 8 years since I did off-site and my memory is fuzzy. This only thing that has me wondering about this is the confirmation numbers for the rental car on my "pairing" and my sim partner's are different.

I'm just trying to figure out if we need to coordinate our MEM arrivals or if we're on our own getting out to the hotel. I guess I'll call the rental car company.

I know the expense reports are separate - just wondering if you had the option to use some of the $$ for trips in the same month. Probably can't put those expenses into the ITU report knowing how "flexible" the fox system is.

Sometimes they give each Crewmember their own rental car. This could be the case.

It's an abbynormal process, expense report covers the entire time you're in training versus the bidmonth norm we're all used to

My experience rec tng 1 rental car per crew, ITU you get your own car. They should send you an email telling you the details (don't prepay gas, etc). Homewood Suites for you. Even though you file one long and complicated expense report when you're done, make sure you file for per diem each month.

Well, that's good to know. Silly me, I thought that sort of thing would be automatic. Based on our wonderful disruption/pay-log system, I guess I should know better. I wonder if I knew to do that years ago when I last did off-site.
