FC travel to/from pc
Dh Econ plus or better-FC international

We shouldn't spend negotiating capital on FAR's, and we should certainly travel on a pass classification that is appropriate for performing duty for our company that is commensurate with our profession and the respect this profession should bring. We need to be rested for our PC's. That isn't a 'get' the company gets a rested pilot for training. they benefit too.
