It is my understanding that you cannot fam on flights over 8 hours, but it's been almost 5 years since I fammed so my info might not be correct.So what do people do with flights that are over 8 hours because of a long layover. I’ve read some answers but my ATM is saying he can’t do that because it would put into OT.
My first one this year back in June had a 7 hour layover in SFO because they refused to let me leave from SFO instead of MRY 😡It is my understanding that you cannot fam on flights over 8 hours, but it's been almost 5 years since I fammed so my info might not be correct.
Request non-consecutive hours in the comment section when making the request is how I was told to word it.So what do people do with flights that are over 8 hours because of a long layover. I’ve read some answers but my ATM is saying he can’t do that because it would put into OT.
I think your origin has to be within 50 miles of your duty station but then again I was under the impression that under no circumstances could your FDT be longer than your duty day (per the ELMS) but everyone is saying they don't have that issue so I could be full of shit....My first one this year back in June had a 7 hour layover in SFO because they refused to let me leave from SFO instead of MRY 😡
It only says if your origin is >50 mi they have to authorize duty time for the difference in time for commuting over 50 miles Ex. SFO is 104 mi away, they are required to authorize extra duty time for me to drive the extra 54 miles.I think your origin has to be within 50 miles of your duty station but then again I was under the impression that under no circumstances could your FDT be longer than your duty day (per the ELMS) but everyone is saying they don't have that issue so I could be full of shit....
So if i want to FDT from JFK-HNL all i have to do is put "Waive Overtime" in remarks? Lol
Waive OT or talk to your ATM about a split shift. If you did a split shift, the layover time wouldn’t count for your duty day, just the flying timeSweet. Thanks! Both those comments I’ll combine somehow.
Calender year and yesThose in the know: are the two trips per year required to be in the same calendar year, fiscal year, or rolling twelve-month period?
I.e. if I want to take full advantage of the program, do I need to take two trips before the end of this December?
Just file it and see if it gets approved. Worst case is they return it to you and say no.Anyone know about the same airport rule ? For example if your from NY and have multiple airports you can fly out of, can you go from JFK to MIA and then return from FLL to LGA. IF you have already done let’s say a JFK-FLL and then FLL-JFK. Does that count as you going to the same airport ? Technically your only flying out of an airport you have already been at but arriving at a new one.
Is your SUP really making you account for that time?Can anyone recommend of what to put in “other” to get the full 8 hours. I’m 30 mins short.
Well We have to fill the time sheet and turn that in and I maxed out the pre flight post flight paperwork times. They don’t really check to see what you did for “other” just didn’t know what sounds reasonable.Is your SUP really making you account for that time?
