VCP Deadhead gouge.
Hey, any 767 Capts or FO’s that have done the relief pilot trip down to VCP, then DH’ed out, any tips on the DH, especially for getting home a day early? PM me if you like. I have four(4) of them during the May bid month. Looking for the corporate knowledge. Thanks.
Also, who is our contact down there?

I think JetBlue has a VCP to FLL flight might look at that to cut out the cab. Coming back is on American so you have a limited bank. The delta bank is much better. Bottomline it is not hard, transportation (including Uber) works. But you are pretty beat up when you get there.
Just a quick correction: Azul has VCP-FLL and VCP-MCO
