I appologize if my search function judo skills are lacking, but I haven't stumbled upon a recent discussion on this topic. How would a commute from Germany work? Assuming that FRA can't be used as a gateway. I am looking at a 2.5 hour train ride to CGN for the MEM flight, or 4.5 hours to LEJ for the CVG flight if I could jumpseat on a company flight. I realize that the routes can be changed by the customer and I realize I would lose an extra day off over gateway travel. I read that there is currently no international jumpseating, but does that apply to travel for work? Is there any protection for not showing at base on time if one or two scheduled JS flights cancel? Can a JS be used in combination with gateway from CVG or MEM to get to ANC or LAX/ONT?
Thank you for your consideration and responses.

New Hire Pay Question
Merry Xmas everyone. Quick question - New Hire Pay. $1600 a month for 4 months or completion of OE. With what I'm reading here on the forums of Atlas turnover, can new hires expect to complete OE quicker due to the lack of pilots? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know how they're doing it. Heard there is a method for applying for religious or medical exemptions, but I have no clue if/who they're approving and the circumstances. I do know they told me in the interview that having the vaccine is a requirement to be offered the job.

No, plan on 4 months at 1,600$ a month. 747 classes are in excess of 90 days. Good chance you'll be hitting 120th day before you even start OE and then going to full guarantee. The training center isn't staffed or designed to train the amount that they have down here in Miami and want to hire. You can plan for 1 day on 2 to 3 days off kind of schedule once into fixed base. We did 2 full motion sims in a span of 8 days for example.

I heard just plan the full first 4 months at $1600 plus per diem as you said above, no chance of getting going earlier. I’m guessing the end of year has become very busy for HR now and also heard that the next 747 class has 27 in it, any idea what the Jan and Feb classes for 777 are looking like?

With the current issues regarding resignations and new hires does it look like the training could become even more delayed?

Plan for the 4 months at $1600, the good thing is, with per diem first 3 months is effectively more like $4500/month (large part of the per diem is tax free).
Bring a car, buy groceries, cook your own food just like you would at home. It's not that expensive to live in the complex for 3 months. Unless you want it to be.
And plan ahead if you can. If (and its a big if, but who thinks COVID is going away anytime soon?) our COVID pay keeps on going for China, you'll catch up on the pay within the first few months on the line.
