Overnights at Home Question
Having never flown for an airline I have a question about overnights at home. I do not mean overnights at your domicile, I mean at home. Example, I do not live at an airline domicile but I do live 5 minutes away from one that American Eagle and Express Jet fly into and overnight at. If I was to fly with a carrier and was able to get senior enough I could bid those trips, would I be able to spend that night at home? Would I be required to stay with the crew at the hotel and on the bus? Would it just be considered bad manors to leave the crew for a night with my family?
As I said, I have never flown airline so I have no idea how this would be viewed by the airlines if I was to overnight at home. If I was not able to overnight, I guess I could at least visit and spend some time with them.
