Sprint gives free international data roaming and texts for most customers. Sprint.com/international

I’m truly impressed that you can even get a 4S to work with current IOS and apps.

How far in advance can we DDH on the front end? Seems like when I looked at the PWA it said something like within 24 hours. I'd like to do it sooner than later.

Thanks

sorry monkey Im not sure with the new way to book deadheads. I know that in the past i have def deviated on the front end a couple days prior.

I have a reserve question for any edumacated folks. If you block in at say 6am and go onto longcall, are you able to be assigned a trip that night at 1130pm? or does it take you out for the rest of that day?

thanks!

If you are on long call at 0600 then they can assign you a trip that reports at 1800 or later. All they need is 12 hrs notice (which is your rest).

FOM 13.1.4

You can book it up to 14 days in advance, but have to let CS know you're deviating within 24 hours of the original report time.

Additionally, you can not deviate on the backend until after your original sign in time - even if you deviated on the front end.

You have to notify crew scheds within 24 hours of your signin. But contract (8.e.8) just says to be there a reasonable time before your working leg. So with that guidance, I would say anytime within the 14 days prior you can legally schedule would be fine.
