CBA 26.J.2.a Specifically states the above, if you use the company jumpseat. But as to how they apply those provisions and to whom is a different subject. Many people violate this section of the contract regularly with no repercussions but others have been removed from trips. One question raised by this contractual provision is, what is considered a duty period on an augmented crew? The Union will simply not address this issue. I "burn" quite a few days in MEM arriving early for international flights to comply with the strictest interpretation of this provision. But once again, the company uses the contract in an arbitrary manner and the Union does nothing.

I got an invite to do an interview Sept-Oct. last week. I replied with my preference for mid Oct. but haven't heard back yet. I'm studying general subjects but am getting nervous so about to pull the trigger on Emerald Coast and RST.

I got the same email--and like you, no word yet. I'd start preparing as much as possible!

I've got the interview date confirmed for a few weeks out. I will sign up for Emerald Coast but I don't know if if can get to a live seminar. I think it will be a huge confidence booster but I'm wary of sounding disingenuous.

Trust me, you'll regret not adequately preparing for this job of this caliber. You're a few weeks out and you haven't prepared, you're about a year late bro. You need to get yourself squared away and fast.

Think back to when you first started flying, did you not chair fly because you didn't want to sound disingenuous on the radio? Everyone benefits from practice.
