New hire here. Just to make sure I understand, I can book/ride the jumpseat to/from international destinations as long as its available in icrew, right? Looking to go to BKK through NRT. Thanks!

Yep! You have to be booked 24 hours prior, IIRC.

Out of base GS given out today at 3:09 for the late London. Looks highly irregular and based on the months awards I find it hard to believe no NY 7era had a in base request in. If you did have a GS in and were legal for the trip call Skeds and claim your free 16 hours pay.

Is there any recourse to this scenario.

Was supposed to end rotation today, awarded GS for tomorrow.

Ended up getting rerouted and now don't end up finishing current rotation until tomorrow. GS is gone, awarded now to someone else.

I know I get some reroute pay, but is the GS just gone now?

Thanks

Which is great, but who wants to do all the work for someone else?

Thanks,

TD gives you roughly 50% (all taxable) and DPMA gives the other approx 50% (not taxable since it comes from after tax contributions). Both together will get you somewhere around 90%. TD pays for 26 weeks and DPMA for 1 year.
