Flt arrival 12:00 am - 2:59 am Report to work by 11:00 am
Flt arrival 3:00 am - 7:00 am Report to work by 1:00pm
Flt arrival after 7:00 am Case by case
We will use the CO website flight arrival page as the official time stamp.
1) Is the time posted on this page wheels down or gate time?
2) How accurate is it?
3) Does our proposed policy sound fair?
4) Any ideas or suggestions?
I appreciate any feedback on this (especially since I'm usually on these types of flights)
Doesn't seem fair to me. I would suggest 11 hours from flight arrival. 1.5 hours to get home/prepare for bed - 8hrs sleep - 1.5 hours to get ready for work go to office. The only thing a trancon red-eye does is make you miserable - too short for a full nights sleep and just long enough to disrupt your sleep cycle as opposed to a nap. Also, in terms of normal arrivals, youare going to find practically nothing between 1:00am and 5:30am
