Deadhead Deviation Banks Sample Clauses
The Deadhead Deviation Banks clause establishes a system for tracking and managing instances where crew members are required to travel without performing their primary duties, often due to schedule changes or operational needs. In practice, this clause sets up a 'bank' or record of such occurrences, allowing for the accumulation and monitoring of deadhead deviations over time. This mechanism ensures that both the employer and employees have a clear and fair method for accounting for these deviations, helping to balance operational flexibility with employee workload and compensation, and ultimately preventing disputes over excessive or untracked deadhead assignments.
Deadhead Deviation Banks a. A pilot shall have a deviation bank established for each bid period. The value of the deviation bank shall equal the value of the scheduled deadhead tickets for trips flown during the bid period plus the value of any scheduled deadheads for recurrent training. However, if a deadhead trip is changed or canceled by the Company, the deadhead bank monies remain intact. A deadhead associated with a carryover trip shall be credited to the deviation bank for the bid period containing the showtime for the deadhead.
Deadhead Deviation Banks a. Application By Bid Period The Company shall establish a deviation bank for each pilot for each bid period.
i. The value of a given bid period’s deviation bank shall be equal to the value of:
(a) the applicable fare(s) for the scheduled commercial deadhead ticket(s) for all trips flown during that bid period; and
(b) the value of the applicable fare(s) for the scheduled commercial deadhead ticket(s) for recurrent training scheduled during that bid period (if any).
ii. To the extent that the pilot’s allowable/reimbursable deviation expense claims for a given bid period are less than the pilot’s deviation bank credit for that bid period, that balance shall first be reduced by halfremain intact for three additional bid periods. That balance shall then reduce to zero, in equal 50% decrements, over the following two consecutive bid periods. This deviation bank allowance (DBA) shall be available to offset past or future deviation bank overspends, as follows:
(a) If the pilot had allowable/reimbursable deviation expense claims for the immediately preceding bid period which exceeded the pilot’s deviation bank for that bid period, the DBA shall be applied to offset the prior overspend; and
(b) Any DBA balance remaining after application of Section 8.C.2.a.ii.(a) above shall be added to the pilot’s deviation bank in the immediately subsequent bid period.
Example 1: In May, the pilot incurred allowable deviation expenses which were $1,000 less than the pilot’s deviation bank. The pilot’s DBA for May was $1,000, which shall be available for allowable/reimbursable expenses incurred in June, July, and/or August. Thereafter, $500 will be available in September, and $0 thereafter. Example 2: For the April bid period, the pilot incurred allowable deviation expenses which exceeded the pilot’s April deviation bank by $200. In May, the pilot incurred allowable deviation expenses which were $1,000 less than the pilot’s deviation bank. The pilot’s DBA for May was $5001,000, of which $200 rolled back to offset the pilot’s April overspend. The remaining $300800 of the pilot’s May DBA shall be included in the pilot’s June deviation bank.available for subsequently incurred, allowable/reimbursable expenses. Thereafter, $400 will be available in September, and $0 thereafter. [Application note: the automation has and will continue to apply all previous bid periods' remaining balances (oldest to newest) to that overspend.]
