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?

Default 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

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

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.

As ACL said, they can change you up to your last operating leg. I recently had beautiful plans for going home early on a deviate only to be nixed by my first rotation extension since AUG07.

Your Global Entry number is your trusted traveler number, so no you don't have to do anything else.

After you select your flights for a non rev it takes you to a screen where you select the people that are traveling on that itinerary. When you hit continue it takes you to the screen where you confirm your name, date of birth and sex (if you have to take your pants off then you know you are in trouble). If you look at the last column on the right it allows you to put your trusted traveler (global entry) number into the non rev listing. Once you enter the number, Travelnet remembers it for future use.

TSA Pre Check is only available at selected airports, mostly the bigger ones, but as long as you list with your trusted traveler number it is good at any location. I have used it in CVG, DTW, LAX, DCA, ATL, and maybe some others.
