"Allowed" might not be the word you are looking for. I am sure some pilots have "expanded their view" on their 3-day layover but, in the end, it all boils down to.....you better be back to LA by pick-up/brief. Not so sure the "Call in Honest"/"Unable to Commute" policies work well in the middle of a rotation at a base that does not have A350 reserves. 😁
Rumor had it a pilot went home to FL during his 75+ hour ATL layover and, due to the outbound to ICN leaving just after midnight, thought he had an extra day at home. He didn't. I'm sure that went over well.
