Not sure. The Company would not want you to drop your sched and pick it up at Premium Pay. But, I've been in the situation where I screwed up a blank WS, dropped a PD on it and got something else right away.
Behind on the honey do list, I will look it up tonight if someone smarter than I does not know the answer.

Hey guys, pay/reroute question. Flew into ATL last night at midnight and scheduled to layover. On the way off the a/c, scheduling calls and asks us if we can fly to TPA. 320 mechanical followed by no copilot for an 88. We were the third and final chance for 140 pax. Was that a proffer, ie, GS? Reroute pay? Nothing has popped up on our rotation yet and now we're double deadheading to SLC to pick up the rest of our rotation. Any help?

If your a gringo any property you have belongs to the locals if they can grab it. You will get zero assistance from the police. If you are going to be gone half the month you must live in a compound with private security. Even then budget for new TV's often.
The other issue is taxes. You will owe all US income taxes so make sure you will not get taxed again by the country you live in.

If they dared refuse ... dead gringo = vacant lot.

Yeah I think all that CA/SA stuff is hype and very selective optimism. Everyone acts like you can get a mansion for $200 a month and eat prime steaks for 25 cents in paradise on the beach but the reality is vastly different. I know someone (non aviation) who just tried it and very quickly came home. Adding in the equivalent of a trans con to double trans con commute each way for the myth of strong buying power just to be subserviant to a foreign justice system is absolutely laughable. Can't believe anyone would even consider it.

Adding more ER FO's? Is the 757 future looking brighter, or should we just expect more displacements?

Look at your time card for the reserve guarantee amount. When guarantee reaches 0, you are done.

With the current fleet plan there should be few if any displacements from the ER. There may be some on a base by base case but should be minimal. As I posted we added 530 net CA positions since Jul of 12. That should actually accelerate for the next 18 months. Let's hope airbus gets there act together on the 242 ton 330's and they get here next year. More delays could slow things a bit.

I know one guy who commuted part time and another full time. With the ability to book the JS the commute itself was not horrible keeping in mind that even easy commutes suck.
The issue both had was theft. If your a gringo any property you have belongs to the locals if they can grab it. You will get zero assistance from the police. If you are going to be gone half the month you must live in a compound with private security. Even then budget for new TV's often.

2 flights a day 4 hours each way makes it look like a lga-dfw commute.
Thanks for the insight...not a gringo and neither is my wife we both speak Spanish (both from S. America)
We will go on vacation and see if the beauty of the mountains and the beach and the lifestyle make us think about it in a couple of years maybe do it.

Buzz, can you punch both of these idiots in the face next time you go into the studio? Unfreakingbelievable..
Malaysia Airlines jet held by terrorists in Pakistan? | Interviews | Hannity | Fox News
And I just saw on CNN that the 777 captain had the simulator in his house because Malaysia can't afford their own. The 24-hour idiot networks are so desperate now they are resorting to just making crap up... oh wait, they do that every day.
