If your trips start and end in MEM and there is no D/H built into the Pairing, you are on your own recognizance to get to your Show Time.
We were talking about pairings that start (on paper) in MEM and D/H to the field city, where the A/C is parked and the live revenue portion of the trip starts and ends at the end of the week. The end of the trip is a D/H back to MEM .. after appropriate crew rest.
Again. . .. if your Pairing is MEM/ATW/MEM. . you must present yourself at the ID scanner at Show Time . . by whatever means you choose to insure you get there.
okay, so I understand pilots who commute to where their trip orginates are to be big boys and get there on their own but surely all those commuters (who arent in driving distance) arent buying airline tickets are they? are you able to ride for free on other airlines to get to where your trip starts??
