You can do whatever. The one caveat is that if there was a backup flight available for the originally scheduled DH, the FOM says, roughly, you’re going to get a paddling if the flight you deviate to doesn’t also have a backup and something goes wrong.

Copy. There are at least 2 flights available after the scheduled DH for the trip. Just didn’t know if was legal to deviate into anything less than the required min layover time. Thanks.

It’s also the efin simple that career seniority ends at 65 and just cause those guys wanna change the rules of the game to suit them now doesn’t make any less BS.

ummm yup pretty much! Those guys we are talking about benefitting from 67 had to in your words "sweat it out longer in domestic categories"when they changed 60-65, lost their pension, furloughed while not having upgrade opportunities for 10 plus years of their careers.
So ya I think we can suck it up and "sweat it out"
if 67 passes. I don't believe anyone younger than 60 who say they wouldn't at least like have the opportunity to work. The shaming of those guys choosing to fly longer by guys like you not wanting to "sweat it out in domestic categories" is very selfish and narrow minded

Wrong. After $100,000 sunk for flight school, bachelors, and instructing for 1.5 years they changed the age limit. Ended up spending an additional 5 years as a regional FO (9 years total FO pay) If I saw that outcome prior to college I would have chose a different path. That’s also why regional pay is sky rocketing now. Many have would be pilots have seen my generations career, and opted for a different field.
