For those extended stays in a hotel room - how is that paid? Are you at least well-compensated for your prison time?
In the countries where it’s allowed, do most crew members go out and explore, or are all the time zone changes exhausting enough that the focus is primarily on sleep and eating?
Thanks again.
extended prison time doesn’t pay any extra. You do get $100/night put into a hotel bank balance for later use but what you can use that on is very limited.
some people go out and explore on long layovers where we’re allowed out, some people just go to the bar and drink, others disappear.
we do have some vanilla MEM-STN-MEM and MEM-CDG-MEM trips just like the majors, but most of the trips are not like that.
