You are asking an airline recruiter what you should have logged as PIC in your logbook? Please tell me I have this all wrong. Guys it's simple our minimums are 500 TT & 50 ME, they prefer you have a degree and 250 hr PIC. When they look at applicants if someone exceeds those numbers they will likely get a call for an interview before you, if they see other things in your app they like then they will probably call you also. If they start running out apps and you have 500 TT & 50 ME but <250 PIC they will probably call you so they call fill the classes. It's very simple lets not make it complicated.

 

hey what.

just sent you a PM. thanks.

 

Of all people, you are mad that someone hasn't answered your question? I'm still waiting for you to tell me who I work for.

 

And I promptly replied

 

got it..! appreciate it

 

ZED is a stand by ticket, the fare is based on the agreement between carriers, then the miles to your destination. Fare agreements between carriers will base the fare on low, medium or high rates, then by mileage to your destination. They are also 100% refundable so feel free to buy a bunch.

 

................ :d

 

Can you explain the whole ZED thing a little more? I'll be trying to get from Italy to Brazil in March on a ZED fare and it will be my first time using it.

I checked the ZED page on jetnet, but it seemed like I could oly select from a few airlines. There was no help page that I could find. Do I just go to any AA ticket counter, tell them where and when I want to go and pay for it right there? Ir is it all done through jetnet?

 

look for a line at the ticket counter at the airport that says "NRSA" they should be able to list you on every available airline aa deals with. I don't have the aa number that deals with zed flights, but ask around the crew room and someone will have it. also, buy a back up zed fare on a different airline, it is refundable within 90 days or so.

hope this helps

 

1-888-WE-FLY-AA. When you get on the phone with an agent, tell them you're an employee and that you want to set up a PNR for a ZED(s).

They will ask you for your name, employee number, who you are flying on, from where to where, and from which date (they're valid for like 3 months I believe).

Once they've crunched the numbers, they will tell you how much each segment will cost. Expect a ticket from Italy to Brazil to cost somewhere around $150ish one way. They will then give you a six letter PNR code (write it down). You take this code to any AA ticket counter, and that's where you pick up your tickets and pay the fares. Whatever you don't use at the end of the trip is refundable -- also for a set time period, which I believe is 6 months.

AA/AE only has agreements with so many carriers in the world. I'm pretty sure about Alitalia and TAM -- not sure if we have agreements with anyone else who might fly that route.

On jetnet, there is a SUMMARY CHART that shows which airlines we have agreements with, and what those agreements entail (i.e. most of our agreements allow for travel by employees and spouses, but not parents, children, friends, etc. -- also, most agreements require a minimum of 6 months continuous employement to be eligible). If certain flights or seasons are embargoed, it's listed here (i.e. no travel to/from Munich during Oktoberfest). The requirements that each airline has in regards to listing for flights is also included on this chart. Some airlines have no listing requirements, some require listing only for intercontinental travel, some require listing over the phone, some require listing on flyzed.com, and others require listing on their own non-rev website (like BA). If an airline has unique listing requirments, they're listed on the summary chart.

This chart is under TRAVEL, then TRIP BOOK, TRAVELING ON OTHER AIRLINES (IIRC), AND SUMMARY CHART. It can be a little tricky to find, but it's not too too hard.

Good luck and happy travels!
