You've got a point there, Albie.

Since you asked, here's a little more RFO gouge. Like I said the company has a script you just need to know the script. However as a new guy you may not know what to ask. So here's how I look at it. We all know how to plan a flight from taxi out to taxi in. As an RFO deadheading, you need to expand this planning all the way out to arriving at the hub to getting back to your car. If you don't know how every step of that process is going to work ask someone.

Here's a couple examples of how some guys I know got burned. At ANC you need to go upstairs and use the fingerprint machine to check in. However the ride to the airport, for the deadhead, picks you up outside the security. So a guy shows up for his ride to the airport and the ride is there, he gets in and goes to the airport. Forgot all about going upstairs and checking in.

Another one, when deviating make sure you buy your tickets based on the arrival date not the departure date. In the Pacific you cross the date line, this can really screw you up, when you show up a day late.

Don't forget that you can check in for a DH via VIPS ahead of time on the phone or the internet whether you are deviating or not!

Thanks again guys. I am busy making new mistakes, I really hate making old ones!

If you take the NWA flight MEM - Amsterdam, that's a one-and-a-half hour prior checkin with the company. Ask me how I learned this.....

I learned when they called my cell phone when I was still 10 minutes from the parking lot. It was 1:45 from departure but the schedulers guessed something was up. I checked in about 1:20 prior. I got a letter....
