you buy a ticket and get 100% reimbursed up to the amount that the company spends on your ticket. it's a pretty good system if you know the airline cancellation rules and they do vary. if you want to keep status on a particular airline, dummy tickets are a great way to go.

I’m not sure what’s happening at XO these days but I would say 95% of the time I flew a fairly full day before being sent home on the airlines. I often had more than 18hrs of duty if you include the airline trip home. Every now and then I’d get lucky and my replacement just happened to live where I was when being replaced so I could just go home.
Several times I had almost a full 24hrs between starting my day and getting home on the last day of 15. One time I did that on day 16. That was before they paid for extending a day(they said they would give you a day off in return). After I left I believe they improved their policy but I’m sure it’s better at NJ. It sounds like you’re at NJ so I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

IF you are going to your domicile but want to use a different airline than what the company booked, you will get back 100% of what you paid IF it is the same OR LESS as what the company would have paid. If your ticket is more than what the company WOULD have paid, you get UP TO what the company would have paid.
If you want to go someplace OTHER than domicile, the company will only reimburse 90% of what you paid UP TO 90% of what THEY would have paid to get you home.

Not exactly, but close. They will reimburse 100% of your cost if it falls within 90% of their cost. So, up to 90% of the company cost is most correct. That also applies if you want to use the ticket after your last day, even if it is to go to your domicile.

Not in my experience. They paid 90% of what I paid to go someplace else even though the ticket I booked was substantially less than what they would have paid to get me home.

If you choose the 8 day tour option on the 52 day you get a three percent bump. So it really isn't that much lower than the 7n7.
The 52 day is actually the highest daily rate. So if you want pick up an extended day or two and enjoy the extra time off the 52 day affords nearly 7n7 pay. You are limited to 4 extended days per four months though.

I'd ask about this again and maybe contact the union. May not be too late to get fully reimbursed.
