Default FDX-Old Contract vs New, Trip Revision

Folks,

Been looking thru the old contract (1999) and I can't find the section that talks about when your trip is revised so you rtn to base early, you are done and get trip guarantee. I was trying to compare the old vs. the new (go into sub). Didn't we have that in the old contract?

I thought I had that happen a couple of times, it was kind of the "holy grail" for a trip revision, back to base on the second day of a IND hubturn week and you were done and got paid for the trip. Anybody know where that was written, done a few searches and can't find it. Thx.

I think you are referring to hotel and airport standby pairings not in domicile. If your trip (non standby) returns to base, it is still over. The standby pairings allow them to reposition the crew and not be done like before. The old week long standby trip and you launch IND-MEM day 1 and you are done is over for now. Check the section on standby's for the language.

BTW, I believe this was pre-1999 CBA policy, I think we lost the standby ending the trip with a RTB in the 1999 CBA.

I had a trip last month that returned to MEM the first day of a 5 day trip. Concerned I might be eligible for SUB, I reviewed my contract on the flight back to MEM.

The very first sentence of the SUB section says, "Applicability
Substitution provisions apply only prior to block out on a trip. Substitution shall not occur due to Company actions made for operational reasons (e.g., trip revision, high minimums pull) after block out."


Does that answer your question?

MaydayMark is correct as it pertains to sub eligibility, if you come home early from a multiple day trip (except for airport or hotel standby pairings) you have no further obligation to the company. 25 H 1 is the paragraph MaydayMark is referring to, and if you look under definitions in section 2, it sepcifically states that a trip ends 30 minutes after blocking in at base. If you bid a field standby pairing, you're hosed if you come to MEM as CRS will probably send you back unless you were almost at the end of the trip, but if you're one of the lucky folks who gets rerouted to MEM on the first day of a week long trip, then you basically get a week off, with pay.
