How does it work...?

Well the FOM states that scheduling is supposed to set up rental cars...

Ummmm yeah I know....but you go ahead and let them set it for ya and then call me back and tell how it worked out!

Personally, I'd love some briefs on Amtrak.

I actually looked at rail to get home once when I picked up a middle ear infection at recurrent. 2 grand, three days, and a bus ride to finish....ah, no thanks. I'll stay an extra day and take my antibiotics.

I would take 18 hours on Amtrak vs. 3 hours on UsAir or any RJ.

I have actually been ticketed on Amtrack at Flex. Thankfully the train cancelled after all the airlines cancelled their flights due to a severe winter storm in the northeast.

Had a few CMA-BUR and CMA-LAX trips on Amtrack with Avantair. Much more fun than driving.

I have... works out great! Everytime they throw the FOM at me (ie when they bend the rules to their advantage) I throw the FOM back at them. I hold them to the FOM jut like they do me. I didn't write the book I just follow it. If more crews would hold them to the FOM then life would be better for us all!

Well I'm glad it worked for ya, because they once tried to arrange a rental car for me to drive to Sarasota from the east coast of Florida with no additional duty because it was in the gateway! (that's right) She/He thought it was right next to PBI! I bet you know who that was;you should of heard the argument on that one! That fixed it for me.
