Both the charter coordinators refused to put our names on the Gen Dec, and I had caused about as much of a fuss as I was willing to do. So, I'll be putting that in my report.
Be forewarned, it is intl military charter policy to not allow crewmembers to ride in the back when empty unless you are scheduled to deadhead on that aircraft. I'll do my part in fighting the good fight, and hopefully others will as well. Sure would have been nice to both get home to my son early as well as save the company money.
That happened to me during the summer of 2011 on a domestic mil charter. We finished up in AEX and the jet was ferrying to ATL. Lots of phone calls and lots of no's. The captain really pushed hard to get on, but we ended up laying over and doing the scheduled deadhead the next day. Made no sense at all.
