Hopefully a dumb question but Thx ahead of the answer.
Yes, unless you're based somewhere that is not MEM, any time you go to training in MEM, you're on your own for transportation, lodging, etc. Not sure if we get per diem for the few hours you're in the sim, didn't care enough to look.
We also have an MD-11 sim in ANC, so the ANC based MD-11 guys have to get themselves up there for CQ and find their own lodging.
We have a great contract in some areas (vacation), but a lousy contract in others.
