If you are already in the company which hired you, knowing that they won't be able to assign you on international trip and totally fine with that.
Question: will company be fine to wave requirement of keeping valid passport for that type of pilots since they are not crossing the border?
Please don't answer " read contract or call chief pilot, union, etc."
Thank you, fellows!
The short answer is yes - a company can waive this policy and restrict you to domestic operations, if it behooves them to do so. That being said, they need a good reason to do it, it needs to make business sense, and all other factors need to be legal.
Likely what prevents the pilot from obtaining a passport is also going to affect the pilots ability to maintain DHS and TSA status for flying. It may not however, your “friend” needs to speak with the chief pilot and obtain a suitable remedy before this blows up in their face.
