My day 1 consists of a DH leg only. I'm a commuter. It'd be just as easy for me to commute to the airport they are trying to repo me to as it would be to commute to my base.
Question is do I need to commute to my base and actually catch the DH flight to get the pay for day 1? Or can I commute to the 2nd day starting point myself and still get paid? Thanks in advance. You can commute yourself and cancel your dead head. The only caveat being that once you cancel the dead head the commuter clause will no longer apply should you not make it to operate the flight.

You're absolutely right. Things will keep moving here...I hope prospective new hires won't let the end of the flow discourage them from coming here. Plus there are opportunities to get involved in management positions, check airman spots, training dept, etc...it's pretty great. Like you said, we don't have the "lifers" like every other regional out there.

Do you keep your seniority number with some of those position you mentioned?

In our travel benefits, what counts as international flights (transoceanic)? Do you have to fly to Europe or Asia for it to count, or all international flights?
Are the six flight days shared between you and your spouse, or is it six each? Can we do interline travel? Is it unlimited? |
The six travel days are per person. Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, etc don't count against them. You have to cross a pond. One flight can count as two travel days if it goes into the next day.
You can interline all you want/have time/money for, but there is an exclusion period from your start date (9 months?) that can differ from airline to airline. If you truly travel a lot you want to go DL on the one day portion and interline on the 2 day segment. A lot of the interline agreements don't put you in first class but if you're good with the crew and purser your odds improve. |

One flight is equal to one transoceanic pass. Calendar day of departure and arrival is irrelevant. i.e. JFK-NRT leaving on Thursday afternoon arriving Friday afternoon is still one oceanic segment. Conversely, SYD-LAX where you arrive several hours before you left, still uses up a full segment, and not three quarters of one. ;)
