And if I'm understanding this right if a crewmember reaches guarantee you can drop the remaining reserve days and go home? Or did I completely misunderstand that?
Also, I'm assuming the 777s depart mostly out of MEM? Is it tough jumpseating to MEM or do ppl typically just end up buying a ticket?
Thanks.
You can drop or move all/any of your R days if manning allows it.
You can book jumpseats 21 days in advance so commuting in on FDX flights is pretty easy. Also, a lot of trips start/end with a deadhead so you may not need to even go to MEM.
As far as your reaching guarantee question, I don't really know what you mean.
