Drive to airport get stuck at a hub, get a hotel, perdiem, 50% pay credit, blah, blah, blah. All pretty standard contract stuff. With CVG one of the most expensive airports to commercial in/out of into position....we can usually airline to and from home without a fight. Unless of course the airline portion starts in the middle of a pairing...then you are commercially from domicile.
Seems like a good situation to me. At K4 most of us still consider our work month to be 17 days. Most of us travel on day 0 to be in position to start our 16 day rotation. If they don’t need you they have been pretty good at sending you home a day or so early. So far, I have not heard of anybody showing up at home early and having to kick their wife’s Boyfriend out :-)
