Brand new already hired question
I am brand new need help from an experienced PSA pilot.
1. I have a deadhead to CLT for my first flight. I fly into my base, can I just fly to CLT instead of my base? That would allow me to leave home a little later.
2. My last flight of the leg is a deadhead back to my base from CLT. Can I just fly from CLT home instead of flying to my base to fly home? Again getting me home much sooner?
3. Real question where can I find this information myself or who do I ask?

2: Yes, you can self yourself home if the last leg of a trip is a DH. Meaning you don’t have to take it and you get paid (for the last one). Just make sure you call scheduling before you do.
3. It’s in our contract

Ah ok. Yes you can, but you don’t get paid if you ‘self yourself’ on the first leg of a trip. Don’t know why, I didn’t make the rules.

Rules are different if you are on reserve. If, as of now, they have you DH from DCA to CLT for the first part of your reserve assignment, you could always be reassigned. Therefor you are required to take the DH unless scheduling releases you from it.
Call crew scheduling and ask to "self" to CLT. They may say yes, they may say no.
Once you are a line holder, you can do this anytime that you want, as long as you notify scheduling. But not on reserve.
If you "self" to an assignment, you do not get paid for it. If you "self" home, you do get paid for it.

If you’re on reserve and this is your first reserve assignment, same as somebody else said but I’d call scheduling and see if you could self anyway.
