How does your company DH you?

Evergreen is Business class going overseas....

One of the few, and best, perks I had in my time at the Zone. I always found it funny that they spent $20,000+ some months sending me around the world in business or first class but still couldn't find a way to pay their employees a liveable wage. At least I have a sh*tload of frequent flier miles, thanks Del

Here’s what I found in our (UPS) contract:

2. Class of Service
…
a. Coach Class
A fully refundable coach ticket may be provided for commercial transportation if the following criteria are met:
(1) The deadhead shall not contain more than two (2) flight segments;
…
(2) For travel within the forty-eight (48) domestic states, Canada and Mexico, total scheduled block hours in a duty period cannot exceed five (5) hours;
(3) Within Europe the total scheduled block hours in a duty period cannot exceed three and one half (3.5) hours …
…
b. Business Class
A fully refundable business class ticket (or equivalent) will be required in accordance with this section when a coach ticket is not authorized under subsection a. above….
…
(5) If a deadhead duty period contains more than ten (10) scheduled block hours, the selection order shall be business class or equivalent; then first class and then coach…
…
13. Extended International Deadhead Only Duty
a. An international deadhead only duty period may be scheduled from fifteen hours and thirty-one minutes (15:31) to eighteen (18) hours not to exceed nineteen (19) hours actual.
The following criteria will apply to the extended deadhead duty period:
(1) There is a limit of three (3) segments (including both air and ground deadheads);
(2) The minimum scheduled rest after the deadhead is twenty (20) hours reducible to nineteen (19) hours;
…
(4) Coach tickets cannot be used. Rather, the class of service shall be first class unless no such service is provided within the four (4) hour search window provided in Article 13.H. In such event, a business class ticket shall be allowed. Crewmembers shall be allowed to book tickets for extended deadheads the day after the bid lines are awarded;
…

I had to cut out a bunch of 'legalize' then I highlighted the important parts that I think answer your question - it still sounds like lawyer talk…

We do have a list of no-fly airlines or actually I guess it’s a list of approved carriers – if not on the list = no-fly.

In plain language - this bid period (we bid 2 months at a time) I’m being commercial’ed from LAX to NRT on Singapore first class. When I come back from NRT to LAX I’ll fly again on Singapore in business class. Hope this helps.

Where would they have to airline you over 5.5 hours since DHL took away your international flying? I wonder how many of your guys would tell the company to give them the $300 and put them in coach if they ever did have to airline over 5.5 hrs?

Patience my friend, patience. Now go eat a banana.

Evergreen is business class or better for all international flights as well as domestic over 6 hours travel time. Alaska and Hawaii are counted as Intl.

This is the ONLY positive thing at the zone right now!
