Did the math in today's FCIF on DBA allowance make sense to everyone? They provided an example where Nov's excess was $1000. You have $1000 for Nov, or the DBA is $500 to use forward or back one month, of which $200 was used for Oct. All that makes sense. But they said $75 for Jan? Wouldn't it be $300 for Dec (of which it actually says that would be the amount for "subsequent months") and, if not used at all in Dec, $150 for Jan- not the $75 as stated? Am I missing something?

Well that's a relief- I thought the company was trying to say it got halved twice. First, the total amount was halved then if you had leftover going forward that was halved again. I guess based on their interpretation of Passover for 76 guys I'm a bit cynical (and for a hundred other reasons... 
).

I just moved money to cover a deficit in Oct today and when I went to the system I was able to pull money forward from Jul and Aug into Oct! (Halved each month) The system knew how much I could apply to Oct, 1/4 of Aug and 1/8 of Jul excess. Ended up being about $50 total for me, but heck its $50 more than I had this morning!

A bit off-topic, but a deviation bank related discrepancy nonetheless:
I deviated on a trip recently, about 1 week into the bid month. So, being very familiar with Section 8.C.2.b, I know that I am due the Established fare rather than the higher of the Baseline or Established since I did not deviate prior to the bid month start. The Established fare was $404. The TICKETED fare was $384. I deviated without a ticket and spent $400 on ground transportation (4 rides of $100/ea). When I went to file my expense report I had the ticketed fare of $384 as my DBA. I emailed expense reporting with the error. They quoted me 8.C.2.b and said I should get the Established fare since I deviated after the bid month start. I responded that I was very familiar with 8.C.2.b, but if you look at my original email/complaint I was arguing my DBA was credited with the TICKETED fare and not the Established I was due. After a few go-rounds, I emailed with a screenshot of my successful deviation which included the Baseline and Established fare amounts- verifying the $404 I was referring to under the Established fare column. They corrected the error and my DBA for Nov is now $404.
Moral of the story- ANYTIME you initiate a transaction- trip swap, drop trip, crew notification, deviation check in, and especially deviations and the monies associated with them (this isn't the first error I've caught) TAKE A SCREENSHOT to prove your point.
