Cuba
For everyone at AA/B6/SY:
I understand airlines aren't allowed to sell any tickets to HAV yet, but are allowed to operate them on behalf of charter operators.
Is it possible to list myself as a commuting pilot on these flights? (Personal travel trip, not commuting for work..)
(Not a US citizen, so I can travel for a pleasure trip.)
Input?

Not at AA.
Off limits for us too.
I believe the charter company owns the flight and lets us perform to low level of expectations as stated in the contract
No non-revs, extra pilot scum or droids permitted.
On a side note, I've found 1/2 of the passengers are the aging hippy, sandal wearing, pony tailed, university professor or academia types board the flight home glowing about their visit to the socialist paradise. They all get an escorted dog-n-pony show. The other half are the Cuban Americans who generally have the attitude of "get me the #### off this island"

The Cuban travel restrictions apply to all US citizens and US residents—wherever they are located—even those who are traveling to Cuba from another country or who are holding dual citizenship with another country. The travel restrictions also apply to foreign citizens who are within the United States and who want to travel to Cuba from the United States. Only persons licensed by the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) may travel to Cuba. This rule applies regardless of whether the person wants to travel from Miami or any other authorized US airport.

Are you a legal resident? (i.e. green card holder?)
If so then you must follow the very same rules as if you were a U.S. citizen. Check with the INS but I'm fairly certain.
A permanent resident may not vote but other than that he or she has to follow the very same rules and regulations a U.S. citizen does. Be it taxation, travel restrictions, doing business in embargoed nations, etc., etc. Those travel rules aren't usually enforced BUT technically you'd be breaking the law.
Of course, soon it won't matter. Cuba is our friend now.
