KLM is flying a 744F for Etihad, maybe that was the second 744F.

I have ran into trouble with going out on my last day off to position for a trip. I wasnt aware they could do that but It happened to me more than once. I tried for X day pay and they said no. The union said its legal but I dont see how.

I actually had to gateway travel 2 days early on this trip. Travel on 17th to be rested in place on the night of the 18th which is actually the 19th Z day...the start of my trip. Did I miss something?

I come from the C-5 world...trust me this is way better. My experience so far (which is only 3 trips) says 99 times out of 100 the airplane works, you depart on time, catering is onboard, you have trans and a hotel room waiting for you when you step off the jet. I know some will chime in with exceptions but all in all, everything works WAY SMOOTHER than a C-5 trip. The best part is you don't have to go in to the office and fight the madness after you land from your 2 week trip. As a good friend of mine said, it's a lot like the C-5 life except for the crappy part.

If your pattern starts in Base, you may have to go a day early. But ONLY if it starts in base. JFK guys almost never have to leave early since just about none of their trips starts in JFK.
