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.
There was nothing the Captain could do. This is as I mentioned a policy and requirement of the military. They own the flight and cover insurance. There was a bulletin about this last summer. I am surprised crew scheds was not aware of it. The issue has come up over and over again on charter flights.
