Question about trip coverage
Can crew scheduling skip over me if I’m not qualified to fly into a special airport? IE, a trip was awarded to MEX tomorrow. I’ve never been checked out by an LCA to go there. Can they just skip over me and go to the next guy?
Thanks
Thanks

Traffic? Have you ever been to NY, ATL, LA?
Poverty? Again, have you’ve been to LA?
Air Quality? Again, have you’ve been in NY?
I’m also a Spanish speaker, so I won’t get killed by ATC. =D

I love MEX. I guess everyone has their own opinions though..
