If I am commuting to my base, the time it takes me to get there has no impact on that days duty time....is that correct? Now, if I am being deadheaded to a base that is not mine to fly, that gets added in to my duty time...is that correct? I'm asking this because my company has requested that I fly a trip out of a base that is not mine, and they have offered to deadhead me there as long as I fly in the night before. They are putting me up in a hotel and everything, but the show time the next day is around 5pm. As a commuter, I would rather stay at home with my family and jumpseat the day of the trip rather than get there the night before a 5pm show. Crew scheduling told me they could not deadhead me in the day of because my last flight gets in so late I would be over my duty time. So, if I don't deadhead and just jumpseat the day of, is it true that will in no way impact my duty time? Sorry for the paragraph, thanks for the help.
