Some non-airline operations may be on call most or all of their days "off". Those arrangements are determined when you take the job, so it should not be a surprise.
For foriegn airlines, the rules may be quite different than here, and not usually in a good way.
Ahh okay! that is very helpful to hear. Reason I asked is I love traveling, and I was thinking having the privilege of discounted or free tickets to new places would be a dream come true haha. I didn't know if you had to stay around or wait on call!Originally Posted by rickair7777
True in the US, for airlines. You don't have to live in your base, and many folks live in other cities and commute. I know more than a couple folks who have multiple residences, and they rotate. Also have known folks who go on extended road trips (years even), and just commute to/from wherever their RV happens to be parked that week.
