Unsure how our Gateway system affects the special needs consideration but we do not “offer” home basing. Our Gateway system does not require an individual to rent a crash pad if that might be the issue. Gateway participant’s are ticketed to their base or departure airport for work and provided a hotel. If I am not mistaken, Kalitta has a 16 work day requirement and the first and last day travel days are inclusive being home based; whereas, our 17 work day requirement may not include your travel days and cost you a day or even more to pre-position and return home.
Apologies for any misunderstanding of the issue at hand other than being away even longer.
