Couple of qs... what are the tax rules..... Kidding.
- For the oncall/rsv days how long does the reserve last 24hrs, 6am-8pm,etc. And any stand down time during the rsv day? I doubt it but worth a shot.
- I get either the commuting arrangement with the travel coordinator or money in pocket, but can you split the difference? Let's say Stby to get home and a confirmed seat for the return to NRT? Book a ZED fare home to save a 1000$?
-What happens due to a circumstance out of your control, A/C goes mechanical on the way to work and you are not able to report on time with a confirmed dhd?
- Did anyone shake hands in the interview with the panel or only bow?

Standby times are usually 6-8 hours. Sometimes shorter. I had one last week that was 2 1/2 hours. I think they just wanted to put something on my schedule but couldn't start it prior to 15:30 due to scheduling guidelines. Not sure what you mean by stand down time though.
Can't split the commute. It's either round trip c-class or $2000.
If your c-class flight cancels or is delayed they understand and will rearrange your schedule. I've had it twice in 9 years so it isn't very common. Not sure what they will do if you are on a zed ticket though.
If I remember correctly I think I bowed and shook hands during the interview.
