Commuting
 

Does anyone on here commute from another country? Would it be possible from Year 2 FO in a Junior Base to waive minimum days off, cram 75 hours of credit into 2-3 Weeks and have 1-2 weeks off at the end of one month and then 1-2 weeks off at the beginning of the next month?

Or would it be easy to credit 85-90 hours as a Junior FO over 3 weeks and then drop trips to have 3 weeks off and credit less in the following month?

We have had people commute from the Netherlands, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Azerbaijan, and mother Russia. (I’m sure there is more too).

You could waive down to one day off and try to get like 7-9 days off on reserve. If you are a line holder you can do what you want as long as it’s legal and senior enough to do it.

azerbaijan? Are you gd kidding me?

it wasn't for very long he told me.

I have flown with people from all around the world at Spirit.

As a line holder you can also back load one month and front load the next if that is what you desire, keeping within Part 117 limits of course. This is all done manipulating your schedule after your award. Keep in mind that if you are a low seniority line holder you most likely won't be able to drop around major holidays.

I would imagine he is making that up, Halon is a frequent troller.

sorry to burst your bubble, but there are lots of pilots from all around the world that fly here at Spirit.

I flew with a CA a couple months ago that lived in Ireland! Others live in Jamaica, Columbia... all over Latin/South America and the Caribbean.

I know people from Mizzou that lived in Columbia, Mo. I know people who live in Colombia, the country in South America. Sorry, spelling pet peeve of mine.

I flew with a CA a couple months ago that lived in Ireland (the country)! Others live in Jamaica (the country), Columbia (the country)... all over Latin/South America and the Caribbean (the continent and geographic locations residing adjacent to the Pacific Ocean [the ocean], the Gulf of Mexico [a body of water] and/or the Atlantic Ocean [the ocean]).

Fix it for ya :)
