Gateway they airline u from gateway to wherever they want u to go, not necessarily to your base. I am jfk 747. This trip I was airlines my first day of work. Usually it is last day off. I usually get home 1 day early...sometimes 2 days early, sometimes lay day of work.

U can also airline alternate travel. That is when u r airlined NOT to from your gateway. Like u want to visit mom, so airline they'd instead of gateway. They will approve it depending on cost and other factors.

All travel same if reserve out line. Dint really have reserve pilots...will probably get complete trip before reserve period starts starts starts.

Pm me if u want.
