And just so I understand how it works coming from a much different part on the industry, If my A/P of travel is from San Diego, would most of the flights be from San Diego and end in San Diego or am I flown to other parts of the country where I start my 8 days. Similar to commuting for a 121 to a domicile. I apologise if my questions are as clear as mud and thanks much in advance for your answers.

Most likely you would be airlined, with a ticket, to wherever the aircraft is. The airplane could be anywhere in the country, but you'd likely start somewhere on the West Coast out of San Diego. There is always the chance of starting or ending in SAN if a plane happened to be there.

Has this pro-rated contract always been in effect or is it somthing recent? Not making an opinion about it either way. Was just curious.

I have started a trip in HPN and ended in LAS so your 8 day could take you anywhere. Some times it’s nice to get out of the NE shuttle and see the US.
Thanks much for the info.
Received an email to call for an interview

The answer may be obvious but, are the travel days where you’re repositioning part of those 8 days on or are you actually home only 4 of the 6 days because of the 2 days traveling? Again, clear as mud
