I'm thru DTW with the family a lot... where is this Nexus signup place? I have never even heard of this! thx

Just google Nexus and follow the link. It was on the first page when I did it. It will explain the program.

When I did the NEXUS (instead of Global Entry) the application I hear is very similar. The interview was at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit (or the Blue Water Bridge) instead of at an Airport. About 25 minutes by car E of the airport. Interview was short - just ask them to enroll you in Global Entry too - it's no extra effort for you or the ICE agent, they just check a box in the computer.

Nexus is actually designed for US <-> Canada crossings and SENTRI is for US <-> Mexico, but both work for Global Entry. Nexus gets a little card (don't know if Global Entry gets one) that allow you to use the short lines at the Border crossing to/from Canada.

Best $50 I ever spent.

- Is that $50 forever?

- Would they have a problem with a pilot who lives near a NEXUS spot (such as that bridge office) who never drives across the border ever, but would like to use NEXUS to expedite coming back in through Canada and also as a way to get into Global Entry at the same time?

Back End DH Deviation for Reserve Trip
 

Guys,

If you deviate from a DH on the back of a trip and it eliminates a layover when are you again on the hook as a Reserve Pilot?

Example: if you are scheduled to layover on a Thursday night and just DH home on Friday AM but switch your DH to a Thursday night DH home, when are you back on call again? Can you get called out 9 hours (or is it 12?) after you actually get back to base?

In other words is your next availability based on your scheduled trip or the actual time that you get home?

Thanks Scoop :confused:

Your availability is based on your scheduled trip. Enjoy!

I'm fairly sure it's from the end of the scheduled trip. Not from the deviation.

Yes. What 80 said. :)

Make sure to list for the DV8, and call, because if you don't scheduling will assume you are in the hotel on a layo and can reroute you from the layo city. Had a buddy get a call from scheduling wondering why he did not show up for is DH in which he became the operating pilot.
