Depends. On an Asia flight I recently DHed on, I sat next to a FO who was going along for the entire trip. The LCA stated that the FO was not qualified until he gave him his line check and he was not going to do that until the leg home. Ergo, he could not sit up front with someone besides another LCA. SO this FO got to DH all over the world.
I find it weird, but this guy was doing it. No kidding.

I also had an entire rotation where all I did was dinner and a movie and augment. The other augment F/O and I would trade off use of the bunk. It was 12 days, DH-BOS-AMS-BOM-AMS-PDX-AMS-MEM-DH. It is correct to state that the new F/O is not qualified until his/her line check, usually the last leg. The only way to legally do breaks.

That or an "Else Start Next". That way if you don't get those days off you can bid back to a line if you want.

I have been using one for about 2 years now, they work great! I have the HD version and really like it. You need a really good connection to stream HD though. Also if you have an iPhone there is an application that allows you to watch TV right on your phone (my 6 year old loves this).
If you have any specific question I can answer shoot me a pm.

ACL,
Ok, I get it now. I guess see where one could drop through the crack.
When it happened to me, I noticed the guy I was flying with was an LCA when I looked to see who I was flying with. So, I started researching all of this (since it was different than NWA's) Sure enough, the trip "dropped off" my line about a week prior. But, everything else was clockwork. Got the call that I was removed for OE and thus time available at almost exactly 24 hours prior. I commuted up to MSP and just sat in the lounge until 12 hours prior. I checked the computer and saw no trip and that I had dropped off the available list and went home about an hour later.
Easy Shemeezy............

Ferd, Unless something has changed there was no need for you to commute to your base. That is the reason for the 12 hours prior to report. They can't assign you replacement flying that leaves before your original report. You could have stayed home and worst case would have had 12 hours to get to your base. You are not even required to acknowledge the report until 3 hours prior to your original report. If however they place a trip on your line 12 hours prior and you don't respond by 3 hours prior then you now have to be in base on essentially short call for 6 hours after your original report.

Anyone have any idea what MMC denotes on my schedule? I have training from the 7-13, then MMC from the 14-26?

It means you are not qualified and is a training dept code so that you are not used prior to IOE.

They lost it to with the I-Pad.
My AT&T guy says they may lose it mid next year, but it would only be for the current phones and they expect a 4GS to come out sometime late next year.
