Perhaps the trend is reversing again?

I think that reflects Fuel prices. If the price is increasing accepted fare increases will Lag behing actual ticket costs and vicey-versy. I took some big hits last summer but not so much lately. Now that fuel is going up maybe the trend will reverse again.

Why don't you forward that info to DT and, if he seems uninterested, to some engaged MEC reps? Guys like VT and AH (Albie) would gladly carry the torch on this one if they had the right info.

We are allowed to contact MEC reps other than our own....

I've sent all the details to DT.

Just got another email ticket today for next month that is almost $400.00 MORE than the accepted fare.

DT works for the MEC and has folks competing for his time. Make sure you are forwarding to a MEC rep too. One that is interested in this issue. That way the MEC reps can query DT on his progress.

Like any worker bee, DT will focus on tasks as prioritized by the MEC.
