Fedex benefits more from deviators more than its hurt by them. Ive never seen a deviator on my paring not make the trip. The opposite cant be said. My aircraft has been saved by guys that dont live in domicile but happen to live in SMF when we last sec needed someone.

If your deviation ticket gets in same time as scheduled pairing you should be treated as if you didnt deviate. That should be ALPAs CBA objective in 2023

I agree. Our commuter protection policies are need to be in line with the legacies.

Yeah, I got hosed last week by a scheduled DH that didn't make it in. My 37 hr layover turned in to a 10 and night in a hotel in MEM.
