The policy changed with the 2012 contract ammendments--it's not precisely what is listed in the "original" 2008 agreement (slightly better). Here:

**You can use it 2 times in a rolling 12 month period

**You must have one primary flight and one backup flight, each of which is scheduled to get you into domicile within 30 minutes of report time

**You have to call tracking when you become aware you will not be able to make your showtime (if the delay occurs en route, and you're unable to contact them, just contact them as soon as you can)

**VP of Flight Ops and chief pilots acting as his designees can waive any of the requirements at their discretion if they think you made a good faith effort to get to work

Yep what tinman said--ammended in 2012: two flights each getting you in within 30 minutes of showtime. No requirement to list 48-24 hours prior. Can use it twice in 12 months.

What about it?

Nice hotel, with a good breakfast. Not much to walk to, but there are things to do if you're willing to pay for a cab.

Default 1st year pay

Couple quick questions:
1st year pay. $22/hr at 76 hours guaranteed is $1672/month.
PM if you don't want to divulge your salary, but what do most actually take home, what with extra flying hours minus health insurance and other things that get deducted? What is a typical check first year? (Trying to figure out what I can possibly afford for housing or how many roommates are needed lol)

Also.. If you're DC based, do you ever get flights to the west or midwest? I've heard Dallas is mostly out and backs.. and Phoenix not a real possibility at first.

Well man id steer clear of DC unless you have a place to stay. You WILL not be able to afford it on first year. Unless youve got other income and that had better be substantial.

You can expect about to make about 1,500 up to 1,900 depending on how much you fly and per diem. Its just hard to say. If you only get the 76 with no flying and no per diem then i guess just subtract 30% of that for taxes to be conservative. But you will fly and if you need money you can pick up.

Dulles is all out and backs man.

Thanks.
Yeah DC is my last choice.. Phoenix is top but I know it's not likely right off.

How brutal would it be to commute from Phoenix (cheaper cost of living) to Dallas or Las Vegas (possible place to stay) to Dallas?

Well i mean theres just no way to know man. Its all up to that flighy on that day. There is decent amounts of flights. My advice would even be looking into two stops to get you there as well at places where our own metal links up at out stations and stuff. But its risky if you get stuck.

Id just go ahead and move to dallas if i was you. Its the cheapest and youll be home. But i dont know your living situation.

It is doable of course but commuting just wears on you man.
