Seems unlikely, especially with Subic closing. The domestic thing seems backwards. Where else in america can you call a guy and have him on a flight to Bejing/HK/SIN within a 1.5 hours?(plus showtime) Not ANC(yet), HNL perhaps.

Euro Domicile Override
My take on this is that the 757 will pay W/B Capt and F/O rates if it is based in Europe. This will act as a cost of living override since it is supposed to pay N/B rates.

Not to contradict you, Capt, but I've asked SW (LAX FOA) a few times about the base closing (remember when JL said if he was king he'd close LAX), her quote "whatever JL says, the opposite happens", and we've actually had increased flying lines out here since Jan. But then again, I'm just a clueless line guy, what the hell do I know…

If this is the case, wouldn't they have to ammend the contract some how or am I missing something?

yeah...i am just repeating what JL told us on the crewbus...he said he could do all the intl out of mem and anc...he said they r forcing intl into the lax bidpacks...i hope it stays there myself...i can see myself living on a hill in temecula with weekends riding my sandrail in the dunes...

"and i think the f/os are flying more with mem and anc crews then lax crews..."
I just took a look at the Captains' lines in the bidpack, and...well...I know a lot of people consider Memphis and parts of Oakland to be in a different country. Otherwise, looks like I'll be flying with a lot of Memphis and Anchorage crews.
