FDX-DH Economy Upgrades
Just want to confirm that we're now allowed to expense "Economy Upgrades" to a "Economy Plus" (UAL) "Main Cabin Extra" (AAL), etc. in the new CBA.
P.S. When are we getting a clean CBA that doesn't have all the strike-throughs, edits, etc.?

I too was wondering about this. Last month I had money in my deviation bank and expensed an upgrade to economy comfort. The report is still pending. Not sure if they will approve it or not. The CBA section 8.C.3.a.iii doesn't go into effect until March according to the implementation chart. This is a new section and wasn't in the old CBA that I know of.

Yes. I believe this to be true, as long as you have had money in your bank. (Current practice) I think the new CBA will allow seat selection and upgrades to plus or comfort, up to $40 per leg and $80 per segment regardless of bank status. If I'm reading the CBA correctly that is.

So what is the thoughts about this:
You have a bunch of bank money, and the upgrade is $59 for the first leg and $89 for the second leg. Do we pay the difference? I thought this was a screw job in the contract because these upgrade prices are containing to rise but the contract is not protected from inflationary price increases. What say you?
