When I said I wanted a ticket home they couldn't create one that got me to JFK before going into day three by 10 minutes. However I got home about 4 hours before that.

You shouldn't be extended on a hardline, hybrid or VTO. Contact P2P, stewards or scheduling comm for further info.

I did think u could get extended I any line, but was just told only a dedicated reserve line.

On the sched that was JFK 747. Usually 6-16 day lines.I get a lot of 10 and 12 day lines.

Correct. Involuntary extension only if your AIMS Schedule (on computer) says "Reserve XXXX" in the upper left-hand corner. That is a major reason I bid VTO at JFK on 767. Plus I usually see a nice variety of flying and/or reserve.

Great question! Also, I'd recommend anyone wanting to work here, especially if you've never work for a similar carrier, to grab a trip to see what it's about. Most of us like visitors.

Jumpseating on Atlas is a great experience if you're an RJ guy, especially the ORD/JFK to HNL/SYD, etc trips...remember, however, a lot of our flights go in one direction and continue on. Meaning, you'll have to find a different way back from HNL because the aircraft continues to SYD/MEL. Of course, you can continue from SYD to HKG/PVG to ANC and ORD.
