Reinstating lapsed FSA accounts
Posted: 14 Aug 2013, 11:34
Hi Chaps
Just a cautionary note re letting your FSA account lapse. Over the last couple of months, I've had a couple of pilots ask for their accounts to be reinstated at FSA which have lapsed due RW intervention. I was successful getting the first request dealt with but the second has fallen on stoney ground. The pilot (Mike Nicholls) had been in touch with FSA separately and I had been in touch with them later. It took a week for my PM to be read then it was ignored.
I guess Mike could have reapplied to CBFS as a new pilot and he'd have been accepted but in the interim.. he applied for another airline.. still in the hope his CBFS/FSA account would/could be reinstated. This is by the by and I've no issue with Mike wanting to fly
The main message is that FSA now seem reluctant to reinstate lapsed accounts so please ensure you 'clock in' once every 3 months to keep it active. Should you let the FSA system 'kick' you (for whatever reason).. the chances of your account being recovered are slim.
