For real, if I wasn’t flying I was trying to work the 4th seat.

Commuting From Europe

I am commuting from the Frankfurt area, we have two flights a week to and from ORD. HHN has regular flights to GSP and occasionally RFD but Hahn is inconvenient to get to.
Amsterdam is also an alright option as we have flights to MIA, two or three a week.
Big note of caution. We DH crews on these flights so space may not be available. Best to plan ahead and leave yourself a few options. Our routes can also change month-to-month.
With DHL flying Eastbound there is a few more options to get home. Leipzig daily 77 from LAX and occasional 74 and 77 flights out of CVG of Leipzig.
I have questioned my decision making a few times. So far the commute is working, but it isn't easy.
